On this episode, Tomi speaks with Albert James - assistant secretary of Sunderland Harriers.
Albert shares on the topic of teenage burnout - a topic very close to his heart. He talks about his experiences as a young athlete and how they unfortunately lead him away from running at such a young age.
He talks about overtaining and how that not only affects young athletes bodily, but alsomentally, leading many to lose interest in running and eventually dropout.
Albert shares solutions to this problem and urges us to pay attention ifin case we see signs of this happening in our clubs.
Growing up watching the likes of Seb Coe and Steve Cram, Albert has been inspired by greatness, however that doesn't mean he doesn't give this generation of runners their props! He defends top runners today and says they would be able to compete with the legends of the past.
We hope you learn something, we hope you get inspired and we hope you Find Your Fire.
