United Statesa year ago - We are all runners.
This pod gives an insight into a non-elite side of running. Most running podcast focus on winners, record-breakers and podium finishers however races are made up of the unmentioned 99% of the other side. Runners who just run. Thatâs us.
We have a voice.
Keep up the great work Joey.
