Now I actually enjoy running

I used to tell myself I enjoyed running but would only ever train short distances for a few months at a time and have big long breaks between. I was recommended this podcast and it has transformed my understanding and enjoyment of running.

There is a fantastic variation of runners and experts from all abilities and walks of life. this podcast is good enough to binge-listen and not ever get bored.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
