Ageing Runner Podcast #2 – The Loneliness of the Ageing Runner

In the second episode of the Ageing Runner podcast, I battle a noisy rainstorm to pass on the wisdom of John, an 82 year old former national fell running champion who is still going strong. We pick up on the theme of loneliness from last time and delve into a post by academic and ultra runner Sabrina Little and consider what success looks like if we are not judging simply by the stopwatch. Come and join in.

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