Thanks Liz and Alan for this wonderful content. I’ve learnt a lot from listening to you and your guests. It’s all presented so well. So many other podcasts feel like a waste of time with nonsensical chatter, but yours feels like an investment towards improving my running. I love listening to you on my runs and commutes.
