  • 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.

Q: What is Twig's origin story for the nickname, and how does it reflect his approach to running?
The nickname Twig came from Scouts days and stuck because it's easy to say and remember, mirroring Twig's practical, down-to-earth approach to running and life—simple, memorable, and focused on moving forward.
