To round off the week, we are delighted to bring you a special interview with the UK Director for Refugee Support & Restoring Family Links, Alex Fraser.
Last June, Alex took on the impressive feat of running 72 miles for the British Red Cross Miles For Refugee challenge, which is equivalent to the common refugee journey made between Syria and Lebanon.
Alex chats to us about how he tracked his progress, how he broke down his 72 miles and why this is such an important cause.

Hey guys! If you miss the longer Well Far shows, we have a great podcast to recommend for you today!
The Why I Run podcast from Red Bull celebrates the extraordinary and the everyday stories of running, to inspire you to pick up those running shoes and just get going! Runners of every skill level are welcome, from passionate regulars, to runners who struggle themselves to get out the door, and everyone in between. 
The hosts are the brilliant Erin Azar who became a TikTok sensation when she documented her running journey and Ayo Akinwolere, a broadcaster and world record-breaking swimmer, who at one stage could do a half-marathon, but has since relaxed into a casual runner. Together, they meet a whole world of different runners to find out why they run.

Bonus Episode - Why I Run

In today's episode Amy interviews Chrissie Wellington OBE, former professional triathlete, four time world IronMan Champion and now Head of Global Wellbeing at the National Lottery-supported parkrun. Whilst Chrissie remains the world record holder for Ironman distance (completing it in an incredible 8 hours 18 minutes!) she now devotes her life to improving individual and population health and wellbeing, specifically by getting people involved in physical activity. Together Chrissie and Amy compare top parkrun stores, discussing the diverse and welcoming nature of these free events and the many benefits it can bring to individuals and the community. We'll also hear how, thanks to The National Lottery Players, parkrun has received £3.6million of funding over the past 8 years, which has been ground breaking in its success. Chrissie believes it's this support of grassroots organisations, the ones that remove the barriers to exercise, that is so key for our emotional and physical health, but it's also key to a healthier future for our children. Together Amy and Chrissie cover Chrissie's remarkable road to sporting prowess and how she's carried these lessons into her family and work life now, and some of her top tips for getting involved... the key is starting somewhere, it doesn't have to be big and bold! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
