--- 🏃‍♂️ EPISODE OVERVIEW ---

In Episode 150 of the Local Runners Podcast, we sit down with Becky Hansen from Altrincham AC. Becky has PBs of 5K 17:26, 10K 35:56, HM 79:32 with a marathon to come. Becky tells us of starting running at school and how competitive it was being a middle child between her very sporty brothers. She has ran London Marathon but not at the standard she is at now, but still a fantastic time. Becky was also a member of the lockdown runners where she found the love for the sport and saw progress in her times including her first sub 20 min 5k. She also was able to start in the Elite Field for Manchester 10k which was a "pinch me" moment for her. Becky has earned a England vest for Caernarfon Half Marathon in North Wales in September 2027.
