Episode 24: Two Men and One Woman on the Run - with Kelly Hamilton

The Two Men on the Run are joined by St. Helens Strider, Kelly Hamilton this week as they catch-up on training and how Kelly has dealt with the last year of lockdown, homeschooling and her new house move.

The trio discusses the lack of races for amateur and sub-elite athletes following a bold statement from international athlete Jessica Judd earlier in the week, and how they're hoping to finally have an idea of when races might just return to the calendar.

Kelly tells us what she thinks of school sport, as a mother, and how it played an important part in her development growing up.

And the Two Men on the Run hear finally a women's view on the big XC Equality debate that's been raging on in the sport recently.
