  • Great to listen to on the run

    I’ve been trying to find a suitable podcast that talks you through a run as you’re running it. This is perfect - love the phased training ones as well! The interviews are really well delivered and relevant. We want to hear how ‘human’ the celebs are!!! Great work and I’ll continue to listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

RunPod Sprint! Jack Faint
Q: If someone tried to race you now, would they last 10 minutes or embarrass themselves?
Jack downplays speed, noting he's not fast but can run far; he would likely be surpassed in a sprint yet still open to trying speed training in the future.
RunPod Sprint! Jack Faint
Q: How did the landscapes, cities, and people in India shape your journey?
The journey's impact was amplified by bonds with local drivers, schools, and hospitals, with moments in Punjab illustrating how the run touched communities and provided meaningful connection beyond the race.
RunPod Sprint! Jack Faint
Q: How do you stay motivated on the really tough days?
He emphasizes knowing your why; a strong, well-understood purpose keeps you moving when performance or energy wanes, supported by a reliable team and the messages inspiring others.
RunPod Sprint! Jack Faint
Q: Was there a moment on the journey that changed how you view life or time?
Jack recalls the 74 consecutive days of sunrises and sunsets, which underscored the finite nature of time and reinforced his commitment to living fully in the moment and savoring nature.
RunPod Sprint! Katarina Johnson-Thompson
Q: And if they decided to turn the heptathlon into the hexathlon, which discipline would you ditch? And if it became the octathlon, which would you add?
She would drop javelin in a hexathlon and would add another running event (perhaps a 400m) in an octathlon, showing a preference for events aligned with her strengths.
