Zoe, a friend from the Tracksmith Mile a few years ago, talks all about how she got into running and why she kept going, even when it got hard!

With the NYC Marathon on the horizon, she's been busy acclimatising to the city and course - although work may also be a factor here - but let's pretend.

Zoe is also Type 1 diabetic so kindly shares all about this and how it impacts her running.

Another great chat all about loving running - enjoy!

The usual ramblings but somehow for double the time, what a treat!

We talk about our running, other people's running and sadly some injuries.

We also announce the end of series two and also what we all have coming up this summer - happy listening!

Instead of leaving Sam and Luke to yap away on their own for ages we brought in a guest host to yap along with them, for ages!

The guest did bring some good stories, a detailed race recap and a very unpopular opinion, or is it? You decide...

Enjoy!

Having run for England in her school years, Sophie had a really unfortunate accident which set her back for 6 months at first, and then another year and a half!

This was only the start of it but she keeps coming back and our chat highlights her pure enjoyment for running and competing.

If you're looking for some inspiration for your run, here it is - enjoy!

Medal or no medal, that is the question... or the opinion, in this case.

We also talk injuries, racing and the biggest event on the calendar - Pednor 5.

Enjoy!

Emma Frank - Challenges, Curiosity and Competing

Currently in Melbourne, Emma talks about the running scene there and her journey to get there including triathlon, yoga and golf!

With a strong competitive streak, this chat veers off is so many different directions that it’s best just to say, have a listen and enjoy!

Big shout out to Inside Running Podcast for creating the love of Aussie run culture in me, it’s great to hear how big the running BOOM is there too!

In the latest interview, I speak to Matt Wood – Co-founder of RunThrough – all about running, events and running events.

From why he first got into running, to how he and Ben started the company in 2013, his love of the sport and getting others running really shines through.

Matt is open about navigating the ups and downs of the pandemic, and it's very interesting to hear first-hand how they successfully did that with pure (and manual) grit and determination!

Now opening RunThrough up to the sub-elites with Top Flight Races, going off road with RunThrough Trails and thinking globally with the first event in the USA happening recently, it's clear that they're just getting started...

The one all about the London Marathon 2025.

Sam goes for his PUMA time, Fran and Luke sunbathe, heckle and cheer with beers - sounds like a perfect Sunday!

We also talk about Fran’s new coach, Luke’s secret 50m sprint training (so secret he doesn’t even mention it) and a whole lot of other yap, yap, yappin’ - enjoy!

Natalie Hall is one of the most positive runners you could ever hope to meet, always smiling and just so happy to be out there doing it!

She talks through how she fell in love with running from the first step, to booking her first 10k two weeks later and then getting a load of PBs just before finding a lump in her breast.

Her first question to the doctor when she got the breast cancer diagnosis was, “Do you think I’ll still be able to do the marathon?”.

It’s beautiful to hear her recount how the running community has been such a big part of her life, and how she describes running with friends as “a big hug”. It just shows how much more running can be than simply exercise or pushing your limits.

Another gem is when she talks about how running is like setting up a little health pension - there for you when you need it, getting you skilled up for any obstacles that might come up.

Have a listen for some really lovely reasons to run 💖

We come to you from the field this week... well, the track, and the London Marathon Expo - so apologies for any issues with the sound.

Fran races herself to fitness, Luke starts his 50m training in secret and Sam tapers for the London Marathon - enjoy!
