Me and Darren had unfinished business and it was only right we continued putting the world to rites.
On part 2 of the conversation, Darren recommends the 10k, half marathon and marathon races you should try...and the ones that aren't all cracked up to what they're meant to be. We chat about the World Marathon Majors and Darren's take on running in two of them, what he thinks will be the pinnacle for him as a runner, what he works on when the going gets tough and the changes he would like to see in running.
Other subjects we touch on are leggings, lycra, gait analysis and other myths. If you've not done already, check out part 1 (episode 7). Darren is the host of a podcast I thoroughly enjoying listening to. You can check it out here: The Hundred Marathon Club.
You can read Darren's blog on his website at runnersknees.com.
The one with Runner's Knees. Part 2 will be arriving on Wednesday 9th December.
It was a pleasure to be joined by Darren Smith who is well known in the running community as 'Runner's Knees'. Darren is a multi-marathon and ultra finisher and is currently just over halfway through his quest into the Hundred Marathon Club. Darren dropped in for a chat about his journey of self-discovery, DNF'ing, the challenges he's faced during big endurance events, motivation and how running has enabled him to travel the world and meet many wonderful people.
Darren also explains why he finds the potential of failure to be something he is driven by and whether or not a training plan is important.
I have a great respect for Darren and being able to listen to his storytelling was humbling. You can find out more about Darren here:

A conversation with Mikey Goodman.
On this episode I am joined by Mikey who articulates his message about mental health in an incredible and powerful way. He talks through about his journey struggling with depression and anxiety, as well as coming out of coercively abusive relationship.
We have a chat about how through adversity he pushed through his limitations and how SAS: Who Dares Wins helped me discover himself more and why he enjoys tabbing and climbing up mountains.

On this episode I’m joined by Roberto who has built up a following online with his fun-loving outlook on running and his love of fire emojis and Texaco. Roberto chats about his journey into running, how running can be more inclusive, the pressures and positives of social media and comparing yourself to other runners.
Rosa also collaborates as co-host with Ben after featuring as a guest on the Runspire podcast that Ben previously hosted. Rosa fires plenty of questions Roberto’s way to discover more about him.
