Running Partners
Running partners in more ways than one! Running partners is a podcast about all aspects of running, hosted by partners in life and running, Paul Griffiths and Alison Scope. We discuss training, racing, nutrition, mental health, coaching, injuries, motivation, and much more, and our reflections in the context of fitting it all in to a busy family and work life. Each week we share our ideas, thoughts and learning across the topics and some of our experiences from years of running on and off road from track races to ultra marathons! We also reflect on how our running is going week by week as we work towards our own goals. Running partners is about us talking about the sport we love and hopefully bringing some helpful insight that will be useful to you. If you love running, then make running partners a regular partner on your next run by subscribing and listening to our podcast every week! You can find us on Spotify, apple, and anywhere else you get your podcasts! Each episode is totally free and we hope you listen, subscribe and enjoy!
