'Sometimes I just thank my body' - interview with new British marathon sensation Calli Thackery

<p class="p1">Author <strong>Adharanand Finn</strong> chats with <strong>Calli Thackery</strong> after she ran the second-fastest marathon ever by a British woman, in her first ever marathon. Calli tells us about her unusual route to the top of the running world, via a scholarship to New Mexico in the US, to training with a Kenyan coach in Virginia, a stint back home in Sheffield working full time, to getting locked down in Australia for three years during the Covid-19 pandemic. And now she has a medal at the world half marathon championships and a 2:22 marathon to her name. How did she do it?
