and the experiences of the athletes competing for a place on the team for the Games, this is a photographical and written treat. We are delighted to be collaborating on this project with The Morning Shakeout podcast – check out their interview with David Bracetty here.

During the history of this extraordinary organisation it contributed to the Black Power movement, challenged anti-semitism and re-wrote the rules of road running, changing the face of marathons forever. We also talk to the Running Charity about the work they do – with running at its heart – to support young people in the U.K. struggling to find a place in society.
