EP5: Underdog Glory in the Men's 1500m & We Made Chopsticks

It's Day 5 of our 10 Days in Tokyo series - following the World Athletics Championships! In this special limited series of The Running Channel podcast, Sarah, Rick and Andy unpack all the action from the Championships - along with exclusive behind-the-scenes insights from the team you might miss at home!

WOW! What an incredible evening of athletics. Andy, Rick, and Sarah watched on in anticipation as three Brits lined up for the Men’s 1500m Final - but no one had predicted what was about to happen.

In Rick’s favorite event, the steeplechase, drama peaked as Cherotich soared over the final water jump, launching herself into the lead with a breathtaking finish.

And earlier in the day, the team took part in a fascinating chopstick making class... some were craftier than others - can you guess the perfectionist out of the three? Let us know in the comments!
