We're back!

We’re back after our Christmas break and SHOCK HORROR we’ve got a lot of running chat to get through before we even mention the new series of Traitors, so hang on to your hats. We talk about festive running, the trouble with winter run kit and various health-related issues. Big shout out to the NHS app btw – do please make use of it if you don’t already.

New podcasts!

And a big fanfare for our two new podcasts this year – Start To Run is a repeat of last year’s 10-episode series, which will be coming out on Mondays (the first episode came out this week). On Wednesdays, we’re launching a new 10-part series, which is going to be exclusively about running and training for a half marathon. And on Fridays, we’re going to be releasing this baggy old podcast, that you know and love. Lots to listen to for the next couple of months!

Lastly, I have a quick ask of you all, please! If you’ve got a spare minute, could you fill out a super quick survey for us – it’ll help us get better, less annoying, and give you all the stuff you like the best! Thank you so much!
