OTN X TBR - FAST5000 - Jordan Donnelly

Welcome back to The Big Run As the OTN series continues on TBR, we move to Paris for the FAST5000 Taking place on Saturday the 10th of June, It’s quickly become one of the highlights of the French athletics calendar and with good reason, last year 68% got a PB and 96%  seasons best. The 2023 edition looks even more stacked, with mile, 1500m and 3k races in amongst the 5000m action. and of course, you can expect an incredible atmosphere and all manner of locally curated food and entertainment.  On today's episode, I chat with Jordan Donnelly. Jordan leads the product creation team at On Running helping bring to life footwear and apparel for Olympic-level athletes. The product that you will be seeing put to the test on the tartan at all the On Track Night series of events. He's also been a club runner for over 20 years and will be toeing the line at the FAST5000. In this conversation we talk about his role at On, how his own running feeds into his work, get a better understanding of the job spikes do and what he's most looking forward to at the event as a runner and as a fan.
