Episode 1: Chris Thompson - Archived interview from 2012

This interview took place in 2012 and was originally part of my OnTrackAndField podcast, but what better way to launch the Made to Run Podcast than this great archived interview with Chris 'Thommo' Thompson.

At the time Chris had only been doing the 10,000m on the track for a couple of years but had seen success with a European Silver Medal in 2010, and now in 2021, he's secured himself a place on the Tokyo Olympic team in the marathon.

We'll be bringing you more interviews both archived and freshly recorded soon so subscribe to the show for more.
