  • Finally caught up!

    I’ve binged this since discovering it in September, mammoth effort to catch up!

    Listening to a ‘wintering’ pod whilst in the driving wind and rain on the PW seemed fitting. I also laughed out loud to the bit about advent calendars, you’ll have to listen to find out!

  • My favourite running podcast

    It’s funny, honest and full of great advice. It’s also much more entertaining and relatable than a lot of running podcasts and I always look forward to new episodes.
