The Extra Mile: Record breaking 90 year old & Hal Robson-Kanu Q&A!

In this episode of The Extra Mile, host Jenni Falconer highlights the inspiring story of Ian Winship, a 90-year-old from Cumbernauld who has set a world record by running a 10k in an incredible time of one hour and four minutes. The event organizers were so impressed that they created an over-90 category for him. Winship attributes his success to a daily routine of walking 20,000 steps and eating healthily.

The episode then introduces a unique event: an indoor marathon set in an IKEA store in Croydon. Scheduled for December 13th, runners will complete 26.2 miles through various sections of the store, with quirky features such as a self-assembly medal post-race and potential meatball stations.

Lastly, the show features an interview with footballer Hal Robson-Kanu, who shares his experiences during major tournaments, including a significant goal he scored for Wales in 2016. He discusses the mental aspects of sports and the importance of maintaining a positive mindset. Hal also talks about his company which produces turmeric-based health shots aimed at reducing pain and inflammation, illustrating the benefits of natural remedies.
