If you’re a runner in the North East, our new podcast should be right up your street.NE Runners is a podcast presented by keen runner Mark Douglas and fellow amateur Andrew Musgrove with the rather broad remit of covering the blossoming running scene on our region.It kicked off last week with a Blaydon Race special and this week we reflect on Mark’s efforts in the race, Andrew’s training for the Great North Run and we also catch up with John Beattie – who secured a dramatic victory in this week’s 5.7mile run from Newcastle to Blaydon.He is the first of our special running guests on the podcast and he talks us through the closing stages on Saturday, when he nudged in front of Gateshead’s Chris Parr right at the end of the race after he tied up in the closing stages of a very, very quick race.NE Runners is aimed at every runner in the North East: from the quickest to those strapping on a pair of running shoes for the first time. And we need your feedback too – we’re looking for runners to get in touch with their questions, discussions topics and points of order.This week we took a look at long runs – why we do them, how to make them feel a bit more manageable and how you can fit them into your Great North Run training.
