  • 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.
