Supergrans, Backwards Running and Great Job Wednesday

BBC Radio 2 - The Chris Evans Breakfast Show, Supergrans, Backwards Running and Great Job Wednesday

Chris speaks to backwards running athlete Garett Doherty and it's Great Job Wednesday.

Chris reveals your Supergran top ten, speaks to the three-time Retro Running World Champion Garett Doherty and meets a trio of quirky Carfest characters on Great Job Wednesday.

Chris meets the Supergrans that make Britain great by revealing the top ten, including the volunteer firewoman in World War II and the recovering heart-attack survivor who lets loose on the dance floor. We hear from Garett Doherty, the Irish backwards runner who's won the Retro Running World Championships three times and tells us the ideal exercise for anyone experiencing back pain. Chris meets three quirky characters, a Vintage Village organiser, a Superhero trainer and the owner of Bolesworth Castle, for a Great Job Wednesday Carfest special. Vassos is joined in the Sports Locker by British former long-distance runner Brendan Foster. In today's Top Tenuous we ask for your tenuous links to the artist Banksy and Rabbi Dr Harvey Belovski has the Pause For Thought.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
