July 09, 2024 What it's like to be a running influencer
The power of the running influencer cannot be denied. The online presence and engagement of some amateur runners far outreaches the sway of brands and professional athletes, pulling in views and likes that gets marketing departments all hot and bothered.

July 02, 2024 "How I went from Couch to Bob Graham Round"
The Bob Graham Round is a fell-running bucket-list item. It challenges runners to scale 42 peaks, covering 66 miles and 27,000 feet (around an Everest) of elevation, over the course of 24 hours. It tends to be the reserve of the ultra fit, but our guest this week proves that, with the right mindset and training, anyone can do it. Jenny Bushell says: ‘I don't have any kind of athletic background, and there's nothing special about me, except for possibly outsize levels of stubbornness.' Listen to her talk about her remarkable journey on this week's episode.

Jenny now leads practical trail running workshops from her base in the Lake District. For more info, check out the links below:

May 28, 2024 What does running do to your heart?
Many of us know surprisingly little about the critically important organ inside our chest. So it's high time we learned a bit more about the heart – the impact running has on it, warning signs to be watchful of, and advice around HRV and max heart rate.

To explain all, leading cardiologist Dr Dan Augustine offers his expert insights into the heart.
