On today’s episode of The Runna Podcast we welcome Dom Maskell, Co-Founder and CEO of Runna.

We discuss Ben and Dom's journey from meeting as university lacrosse teammates to creating the #1 running app that provides personalised training plans for runners around the world.

Highlights include:

• The hilarious story of Ben's first half-marathon where his thighs chafed so badly that his shorts were covered in dried blood, leading medics to think he was...injured.
• The humble beginnings of Runna, starting as a simple PDF plan service before evolving into a full-fledged app with subscribers in over 180 countries.
• Sneak peeks into upcoming features like an enhanced community experience, adapting plans for holidays and illnesses, and "instant workouts" tailored to users' available time and preferences.
• Funny hypothetical scenarios like whether Dom and Ben could run a marathon faster while tied together.
• Dom's commitment to run the London Marathon naked, except for sunscreen, a cap, and shoes.
