  • S1|E5 - Catching up with your Hosts

    There are many ways to make a runner, and with technology being what it is today, you have tons of information on the subject of running readily available at your finger tips.

    However, running is different for everyone and therefore every runner will respond differently to different training approaches - and then there are the universal truths that apply to everyone, like, “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”

    Listen as Nic and Davey catch up - from Comrades training progress, to tips on the best way to improve your running (without necessarily becoming any fitter), to biomechanics, and the particulars of the running gait cycle... They discuss it all - plus, you’re sure to have a laugh at Davey trying to make sense of Nic’s Biokinetics talk.

  • S1|E3 - Gammie On The Go - Making a Runner with a Disability

    Running the Comrades Marathon is a lifetime achievement many dream of, but few achieve. It’s a grueling process that requires unwavering commitment and an above average pain threshold, both of which Sean Clarke has in excess. He also has a leg that doesn’t function from the knee down. Every step is painful and without the right equipment Sean can barely walk afterwards.

    Why endure this madness? How is it even possible? Listen and be inspired by Sean’s story of overcoming disability with the power of positive intention.

  • S1|E1 - Meet your Hosts: Nic and Davey

    If you love running and, we mean LOVE, then you’ve come to the right place. In this first episode of Making a Runner, you’ll get to know your hosts, coach and athlete combo, @Nic_theBio and @Daveyontherun.

    A conversation that will leave you feeling like you’ve known them for years; they unpack how it all began (Davey slipped into the DM’s, of course) and how with the guidance of Nic, who is a Biokineticist and Running Coach, even a non-athlete (as Davey described himself in his school years) managed to become a competitive runner with a personal best Marathon time of 2:45…and counting. This is how runners are made...
