Samantha Harrison

This week on TRACK! we are delighted to be joined by one of the most exciting prospects in distance running; GB and Charnwood athlete Samantha Harrison. Samantha has impressive PB’s over all distances from 1500 to the Marathon and has notched some notable performances in some high profile races.  What makes Samantha’s story even more interesting is that she has only been running competitively since 2019.  Samantha runs for Charnwood in Nottingham, is ranked as the 14th UK female and is working with the respected coach Vince Wilson to keep improving.  We were excited to talk to Samantha a week after after the announcement that she has been selected to represent GB at the World Half Marathon Championships in Gdynia Poland and a week or so before the race on October 17th.

In the pre-show Cat, Robbie and Ben discuss the latest race results including the World Half Marathon Championships, a number of races on home soil including the Cheshire 10km and the Bedford Autodrome marathon and cover the latest news, including WRs in Valencia and the announcement of a Olympic Trials marathon. We hope you enjoy!
