On this episode I chatted to local runner Alex Teuten who agreed to come and share his running story. And what a story it is! Alex has been running since year 5 at school where he raced against other children two years older, and found he had an incredible talent for running. This talent, along with lots of hard work, good coaching and inspiration from many people and family ensured Alex continued training until he earned his England and Team GB vest. He has continued to find success with many of his races but as we hear, running at this level doesn’t come easy. It was great to hear about personal rivalries with other runners and some great stories racing in many competitions. Alex placed 4th at the Great South Run in 2017 after a tough battle in the final couple of miles. Thank you for listening to the show and I hope you enjoy.

In episode 13 I am joined by David Harvey, Portsmouth based ultra runner who initially started running to lose weight. Dave, also known as ‘Metal Boy’ for his love of metal and rock music almost immediately started running crazy long distances for someone who had just begun their running journey. His love for the longer and harder races is undeniable and still really motivates him to keep pushing his limits. Dave is coached by Michelle Maxwell and since his coaching started his results have really shone bright. In 2019 he took part in UTMB and Grand Union Canal Race where he placed 178th (UTMB) and 4th (GUCR). Dave is a hugely positive guy when it comes to running and it was awesome to hear his story. Enjoy the show everyone!

On this show I welcomed Craig Winter, co-founder of Runr, the clothing and lifestyle clothing brand for runners around the globe. Craig lives in Portsmouth with his family and you will often find him running with either a single or double buggy at Southsea parkrun. Craig’s running journey began at a young age as his parents were runners at Stubbington Green Running club and in fact he was a member of their junior club back in the 1990’s. Craig has a passion for football and very much has the running bug now having run many different marathons. In the interview we get to hear how Runr started and why the idea came about. It was great to chat about how it’s such a good way of connecting with other runners in situations where you may not know who those runners are. We also chat about how Runr are involved in the charity Mind, helping raise a huge amount of support each year with their Miles for Mind. Enjoy the show everyone! x
