In this week's episode, Rachel and Armana chat to sub 2:55 marathon runner and run club founder, Sorrell Walsh.

Sorrell is a well known face in the London running community having been a regular member at Run Dem Crew. Here she shares her experiences of how that crew helped her grow into the runner she is today and how they pushed her towards her 2:54 Boston Marathon pb.

Sorrell is also the founder of two running communities, Still Waters Run Deep, based in Manchester, where Sorrell originates from and WMN Run.

WMN Run is a female only running community set up by Sorrell which has the main aim of lessening the gender gap in endurance running. She tells us the story about taking 52 women to the ultra race, Race to the Stones.

Through researching, Sorrell found that gender difference within participation in endurance events is 80% men and 20% women and is aiming to raise the latter to an equal level with the help of WMN Run.
