This is my most favourite podcast to listen to on a run!
Always inspiring and motivating, it fills me with joy to feel I’m part of the great extended RunPod family 😍
I used to really like this podcast but the adverts seem to be increasing. Hard to fast forward through them when driving!
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.
The best running podcast out there! Jenni is such a brilliant interviewer
