OH YOUNG HEARTS RUN FREE NEVER BE HUNG UP, HUNG UP LIKE MY MAN AND ME…..

We’ve got a guest!! No hour of John n Steven chewin’ the fat this week, yeh we know some of you lap that up too, so we make sure to have our customary 10 min weekly catch up.

Then, joining us in the YHRF studio this week is Joe Symonds. Joe is a not too shabby a runner, in fact we’d say running is laced through his blood.  Named after the King of the Fells Joss Naylor, born and bred in the shadows of the Lake District, inspired by his fell-running father…..yip greatness was written in his stars.

We explore Joe’s remarkable running journey; we unearth most of his greatest achievements and dig into some incredible experiences he’s had along the way.

Our focus shifts to what became a quite amazing and emotional 2021. Joe lost a dear dear friend to suicide in springtime of last year. We find out how this tragic event fuelled a personal endeavour that saw him scale 3 local peaks 100 times each during the year. His 300 for Polly challenge saw an eyewatering amount of elevation gained but more importantly a huge sum raised for the Scottish Association for Mental Health (see link at bottom of show note to donate)
