Hear from Paul again, as his stories are just too compelling to fit into one episode, prompting us to split our chat into a two-part special. We delve into the allure of joining a running club, the camaraderie found in volunteering, and how my daughter went from 'Couch to 5K' under the inspiring wing of Mo Farah's legacy. So, plug in your headphones and let us accompany you on your next run – or your first – because this is an episode that's pacing itself right alongside you.Plus, we have a new feature on the podcast you can now send me a message. Yep you heard it right- Brian's Run Pod has become interactive with the audience. If you look at the top of the Episode description tap on "Send us a Text Message". You can tell me what you think of the episode or alternatively what you would like covered. If your lucky I might even read them out on the podcast.
