Let's Get Running Podcast

Been a while...Shaun, Robbie and Tom are back for a chat about what's been happening. We tried and failed to cover it all- but we had a nice time talking about it. Robbie talks about Le Jog using a dodgy wifi connection from on high, and Tom talks about the return to domestic racing before being interrupted by Shaun and his tube train licking antics. 

Please, please, please enter our #howfar run challenge this September- and encourage your company, family or team to do so too!
