September 22, 2020 #RUNSOME
Our guest this week is Scott Cain, who joins us to discuss the #runsome campaign and how we can all use running to reduce our reliance on cars for shorter journeys, help bring running into the conversations around active travel and ideally change the way we move about urban and rural environments so it won't be so centred so much around car, but people.

For more info on the whole campaign please head to runsome.org and get involved.
You can also follow them on twitter and instagram, just search @RunSomeHQ
