Manage episode 490660395 series 3659911
Hello and welcome to Episode 71 of Everyday Runners. I’m Andy Fuller, the host of this podcast and a co-founder of Reading Sideways Press.
Thank you to the supporters of this podcast: Dominic, Nesrine, Levi, Gianluca, Joao and Bob. Your support gives me added enthusiasm in making one episode per week. Or, in the case of this week, about five.
This is the third episode in a series featuring discussions with athletes who are participating in the BIG5 or the BIG MILE this coming Saturday in Utrecht. This episode features Merel van der Marel, who is an athlete based in Haarlem, the capital of the province of North Holland.
Merel shares her stories about cross-country racing, training in San Francisco, mitigating her chances of getting injured and her new training plan which basically involves a fair bit more Zone 2 running as a means to increase her weekly mileage.
So, thanks a lot for sharing your running stories and background, Merel, and I look forward to racing with you on Saturday.
Until next time, doei doei!!
