He emphasizes the addictive nature of running and the importance of balancing it with other life commitments.

Andrew, a busy "Sparky" with three children and active in their sports, shares his love for the sport. He also discusses his recent Run the Gap 12km event and his experience being coached by Matt at Run2PB, along with his favorite training sessions.

A significant part of Andrew's story revolves around his deep community involvement, particularly as a co-event director for the Wimmera River Parkrun. He enthusiastically promotes the positive impact on fostering good habits in children, providing social connections, and offering physical and mental health benefits to the community. His satisfaction comes from volunteering and seeing others achieve their personal bests, noting the significant growth of Wimmera River Parkrun. The episode concludes with a discussion from the WR chat about a "Buffalo Bandit Lacrosse player who ran a half marathon in full kit," and gets the boys posing some challenges Sos's way.
