Running With: The Running Channel | Meet The Presenters - The Running Channel

Aug 13, 2025

Intro: This is a quick summary of Running With: The Running Channel | Meet The Presenters from The Running Channel. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the ideas today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points

Running can start at any age; the presenters share personal stories from school cross‑country to marathon training.
Choose a training style that fits you: some prefer time‑based runs (e.g., 60 min easy) while others like distance‑based runs (e.g., 5 km, 10 km, 20 mi out‑and‑back).
Cross‑road running – pick a start point, run out a set distance, then turn around and run back. It’s a simple way to hit mileage without planning a loop.
Music is a personal tool: use headphones if they help you stay motivated, but ditch them for races where they become a burden.
Favorite distances vary – many love 5 k/5 mi park runs, 10 k, or the classic 20‑mi out‑and‑back for endurance.

Workout Example (actionable today)

Choose your “road” distance – decide how far you want to run total (e.g., 12 km).
Break it into out‑and‑back legs – e.g., 3 km out, 3 km back, then repeat twice for 12 km total.
Run by time or feel – if you prefer time, aim for a 60‑minute run, pacing yourself evenly on each leg.
Add a fun element – play your favorite playlist or run without music to test focus.

Practical Tips

When planning runs, think in chunks (e.g., 10‑minute segments) to keep the mind focused.
If you’re confused by miles vs kilometres, decide which unit you’ll use for the whole session and stick with it.
Use a Pacing app to set your target time or distance and let the app handle the pacing cues.

Closing Note: Give the cross‑road run a go, tweak the distance or time to match your current fitness, and track it in your Pacing app. Have fun, stay consistent, and keep chasing those personal bests! 🚀
