February 02, 2022 Trash Free Trails
We all love running in nice places, but those nice places can often be spoilt by litter and rubbish, so we thought we'd speak to Dom Ferris, the founder of Trash Free Trails because he's building a community and organisation to help make the nice places really nice again and we want in. Who would have thought littering would be such a complicated topic, but we have a good chat about why it is and what we can all do to make the outside a better place for everyone.

January 11, 2022 The good, the bad and running up hills
Rick, Jane and Ben discuss the physical, mental and literal highs and lows of running with some chat about good and bad runs, why filming yourself on a treadmill never looks good, entering marathons when you're not meant to be running marathons and most importantly, why running up hill should be part of everyone's 2022 training plan. We even suggest some sessions you can all try.
