  • 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.

Rose Harvey: From the pub to the Olympics!
Q: What was it like to race at the Olympics in Paris?
It was a pinch-me moment to be surrounded by the world's best every day, with the Olympic Village feeling like a small town and the experience of racing among such diverse athletes.
RunPod Sprint! Paul Tonkinson
Q: If you had to choose, would you rather run another ultra in the Sahara or stick to a stand-up tour with guaranteed laughs?
I'd choose the tour with stand-up laughs for the immediate rewards, but the Sahara calls with its own profound challenges and stories.
RunPod Sprint! Paul Tonkinson
Q: How many moments were there out there in the desert when you said, yes, this is why I do this?
The realization grew over days, starting on day four, when the collective effort and shared struggle underscored the purpose beyond personal pain.
RunPod Sprint! Paul Tonkinson
Q: Did you ever consider quitting, and what was your toughest moment?
There were moments of doubt, but the toughest part came with the decision to push through rather than give up, especially after previous races where I hadn't finished.
RunPod Sprint! Paul Tonkinson
Q: And was there a moment when you went from, this seems like a good idea, to this actually was a terrible decision?
Yes, the decision grew clearer after day four as the race intensified, but the mindset and support kept me going despite the doubts.
