Today’s guest is the well-loved Helen Thorn - comedian, author and fellow podcaster, widely known for her hilarious take on parenting and being single in mid-life. But is she hilarious when it comes to chatting about running? The fast answer is YES!

Sometimes the catalyst for change is finding out your husband of 22 years has been having an affair behind your back…

At the time it blows up your life, but then one day you wake up, put on your running shoes, and realise life feels better than before. Sure, your boobs may deflate (listen to the episode), but you have grit like no other, and the sudden body confidence to pull off shorter clothes on Instagram.

That’s Helen’s story anyway, and she’s here to tell you that the mental and physical health benefits of running have positively changed her life.

PS. If you need a formal excuse to eat more carbs you should listen now.
