Welcome to the Ageing Runner Podcast

The Ageing Runner podcast is up and running. I plan to release one a month for the duration. It may be the next 25-30 years. We have to start somewhere.

In this welcome podcast, I introduce both my myself and the Ageing Runner Project. We also take a quick look at the link between hearing loss in mid-life and dementia (I have ended up with hearing aids) and a moving post from a fell runner on becoming invisible as we age. Links to both and a couple of others mentioned are at the bottom of this post. All are freely available.

You can watch on Youtube below or on most podcast platforms (Apple, Spotify, Amazon and Google)

Click subscribe or follow and please leave a nice big 5 star rating. Thanks – Chris.
