This week I am joined by Portsmouth based runner Colin Reynolds who shares his running story, from growing up in Yorkshire and taking his first runs while doing the milk round, to eventually returning to Yorkshire to run some of the Hardmoors races. Colin has a wealth of knowledge about the outdoors and is a really good person to have with you on a long hike or race. He is always willing to lend a hand anytime, any place and much of his long distance ultra running was picked up with similar kindness from other runners. Enjoy the show everyone!

On this episode I get to speak to the lovely Debbie Pentland. Debbie and I discuss her running story from start to present and what a story it is. From her first runs suffering around the block and trying to keep up with her husband Bob, to becoming a running convert and even eventually using running, exercise and healthy living to get off of medication for a serious illness. Debbie has self published a book about living with Lupus. It is called: Mutiny in my Body: How Running has Saved my Life, and it is available on Amazon. Those who know Debbie will be very aware of just how much energy and happiness she injects into the running community and other groups she is involved in around the city. I really enjoyed recording this and hope you enjoy listening to it too. Happy miles everyone!
