January pah

We’ve got a bit of January blues here, I’m afraid. Both of us have had some niggles, which have erupted into fullscale hurty bits. Don’t worry, we’re both getting some help, but we’ve got very gloomy – what does this mean for our training? What should we do about our A goals? And how do we go about preparing for a Plan B that’s just as exciting as our original Plan A.

New podcasts

Another 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. 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 – link in the shownotes – it’ll help us get better, less annoying, and give you all the stuff you like the best! Thank you so much!
