Rising British star Innes Fitzgerald: 'I started running during lockdown'
About this episode
Last year she broke Zola Budd's 40-year-old European junior 5,000m record, and now she is getting ready to shake things up at the Commonwealth Games and European championships. Innes Fitzgerald talks to Adharanand Finn about how she first discovered running - like many people - during lockdown, what it was like to be dubbed 'the Greta Thunberg of sport' by The Times newspaper, and how she has her eyes already firmly fixed on LA 2028.
