Couch to Coached- Running podcast
🎙 The Couch to Coached Running Podcast
Hosted by Rob Sillito, Ben Russell, & Emma Brydges
Three full-time working adults. One shared goal: to make running accessible, honest, and fun.
Join Rob (a mental health nurse who's never liked running), Emma (a busy mum and passionate runner), and Ben (a UKA-accredited running coach working full-time coaching kids — and now coaching both Rob and Emma) as they bring you The Couch to Coached Running Podcast.
This award-winning show follows Rob’s transformation from couch to coached, Emma’s mission to train smarter, and Ben’s expert guidance every step — or misstep — along the way.
Whether you're brand new to running or chasing that next PB, you’ll get:
- Real-life running advice for all abilities
- Weekly updates from Rob and Emma’s training
- Listener questions and expert coaching insights
- Interviews, cross-training tips, and injury prevention
- Loads of relatable laughs and honest motivation
