Nick Barry has PB’s of 14:50 5k 30:13 10k 66:37 HM and 2:22:55 M. Tom talks about how much of a sweet tooth he has, and explains why he races so much, whether its Parkrun or a local race. Tom also talks about his training and how it works for him showing that something that might not look right for some people, can work for others. Nick (apart from complimenting Tom through gritted teeth) talks about how he started running and how close he was to giving up the sport. Nick also talks about how he stays injury free. Both Tom and Nick talk about Welsh Castles which Sean and Dave took part in last weekend. With a small change, we asked for Tom and Nick to ask each other three questions each.
