    Ross Noble, one of Britain’s most beloved comedians, had never heard of Parkrun until just two years ago, when a friend texted him and persuaded him to give it a try. Since then, Ross has completed Parkrun at over 50 different locations and even tackled an ultra marathon. Born and bred in the North East of England, Ross now lives in Australia, where his runs often come with unexpected challenges—battling kangaroos, snakes, and wombats, all while carrying a snake bite kit and wearing a "huge hat" for protection. Ross is also a passionate advocate for Gout Awareness Month, continuing to embrace new challenges despite an unlikely foot condition. For Ross, running isn’t just about fitness—it’s about the adventure, and he’s loving every second of it!

    Stay tuned for an announcement in early December about Ross's UK touring plans in 2025!

Rose ran an outstanding PB of 2:23:21 at the 2023 Chicago Marathon – putting her fifth on the British all-time list – it meant the 31-year-old achieved the unfathomable and qualified to run the marathon for Team GB at her debut Olympic Games in Paris. 4 years prior to this Rose was a corporate lawyer, working late most nights and squeezing runs in when she could. So how does it feel to go from social runner to Olympian? And when you finally achieve the Olympic dream but injury strikes, how do you cope with race day? We ask Rose all of these questions in this episode, as well as asking her what’s next?
