Running Industry Podcast #24 - Weekly News

April 07, 2021 • Season 2 • Episode 24

Episode #24 of the Running Industry Podcast rounds-up the Weekly News from the running world and the wider running industry.

This week's news comes a day later than usual, but is still jam-packed, including news from Athletics Weekly on incredible runs and race wins last weekend from UK athlete Beth Potter over 5k and Kenyan Ruth Chepngetich over the half marathon distance .

On Potter's feet were the brand new ASICS Metaspeed, which look very tasty and are out now for mere mortals to lace-up. Launched last week via ASICS.com along with a snazzy interactive website, the shoes are "designed primarily to allow runners to go faster with longer strides."

The Ealing Half Marathon needs entries to continue to go ahead in 2021 and UK Athletics releases its initial questionnaire findings regarding the great cross country debate.

Pete Bland Sports and inov-8 announce a new retail partnership and the ultra-mad Damian Hall releases his new book.
