  • Good info and running advice

    I’m new to endurance running and was looking for some advice in regards to training, hydration and nutrition. I like the casual laid back style of these guys, makes the stuff around running less stressful and nerve-racking. Has the feeling of try whatever advice that suits you, rather than ‘you must do this!’ Quality of the audio is not great but its still o.k. to listen to. Thanks for the listen.
