  • A bit dreary and tedious

    I started listening a couple of months ago and really enjoy the interviews with runners. The only problem is that to listen to them you have to trudge through the half and hour or so of weekly update of ‘ooh my breakfast was too hot and my knee was a bit niggly before my long run’ or ‘I bought a meal deal on the way home from swimming’ which doesn’t grab my attention at all. Despite this the podcast is well presented and produced but not for me.

  • Late to the Tea Party

    I’ma little ashamed at how long it took me to find this podcast - having seen episodes shared on social media by friends, I was vaguely aware it existed but I’m sorry to say my lack of enthusiasm for tea on some subconscious level prevented me from pressing ‘play’. What a fool I was. After being irresistibly sucked into a conversation on the Facebook group about Lakeland events and realizing that Gary had in fact been the RD of one of my favorite ever races (as well as a reformed road runner, wh... more
