My fave podcast, love the fact that itâs primarily running based but the more you listen you realise thatâs just the main thread to hang many of Paul and Robs lovely, relatable life insights onto.
Both books are great too. Paulâs as an real inspiration to an older runner and Robs as a real comfort to running through grief.

Podcast Addict52 years agoleethomas- Makes me smile every time
This is by far my favourite podcast- and I listen to A LOT of podcasts. Itâs great to listen on a solo run, feels like youâre having a lovely catch up with mates, except you donât need to worry about doing any talking. Makes me smile every time, often makes me grin at random strangers.
Itâs the only podcast Iâve ever subscribed to, as Iâd definitely buy these two a drink if I could.
