The Runna Podcast

On today’s episode of The Runna Podcast we welcome Dom Maskell, Co-Founder and CEO of Runna.

We discuss Ben and Dom's journey from meeting as university lacrosse teammates to creating the #1 running app that provides personalised training plans for runners around the world.

Highlights include:

• The hilarious story of Ben's first half-marathon where his thighs chafed so badly that his shorts were covered in dried blood, leading medics to think he was...injured.
• The humble beginnings of Runna, starting as a simple PDF plan service before evolving into a full-fledged app with subscribers in over 180 countries.
• Sneak peeks into upcoming features like an enhanced community experience, adapting plans for holidays and illnesses, and "instant workouts" tailored to users' available time and preferences.
• Funny hypothetical scenarios like whether Dom and Ben could run a marathon faster while tied together.
• Dom's commitment to run the London Marathon naked, except for sunscreen, a cap, and shoes.

On this episode of The Runna Podcast, we interview professional runner Steph Davis, who qualified for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Steph shares her inspiring journey, from getting into running by accident in school to becoming an elite marathon runner and Olympian.

Some exciting teasers from the podcast:

•  Steph describes the thrilling moment she found out she qualified for the Olympics after running a blistering 2:27 marathon.
• She gives a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like competing at the Tokyo Olympics during Covid, including strict lockdowns and having to train mainly on a bike due to injury.
• Steph hilariously recounts the embarrassing story of breaking down in tears after winning a big half marathon because she didn't hit her time goal.
• We ask Steph silly hypothetical questions like whether she'd rather run a marathon in high heels or a 100k ultra barefoot (her choice may surprise you!).
• Steph shares how she went from working in finance to becoming a professional runner sponsored by Adidas and working for Runna.
