    Just registered for the Wings For Life World Run and signed up to join your team. I love the podcast so I’m really excited. I’ve even downloaded the app so I can practise NOT being caught by the catcher car. Wish me luck!

    This podcast was recommended to me and I am so grateful! When I don’t feel like getting a run in, I throw on an episode and I can’t help but get my shoes laced up and get myself out the door. This podcast is a huge part of my half marathon train! My first half! I’m so exited!
