    In this episode of Two Plastic Geordies, we sit down with the incredible Kathleen Stewart, an 85-year-old sprinting sensation, and her husband Ron, who also serves as her coach. Kath shares her journey from taking up competitive running in her late 40s to becoming a world-record-holding athlete in the over-80s category. We discuss the secrets behind her training, the role of determination and discipline, and how she and Ron balance their relationship on and off the track.
