Customer Reviews
Great listening!!
Great weekly podcast to be enjoyed with the marathon talk podcast!!! Well done guys!!
For the Parkrun addict
Parkrun has got me more enthusiastic about running than pretty much anything else and this podcast is an excellent way to get news and information and to feel part of something bigger.The presenters are interesting and come across very well, they create just the right tone for the parkrun crowd. We aren't all super serious runners and the relaxed nature of this supports that ethos. Well done.
Excellent, another parkrun success!
A great weekly news summary of all things parkrun from Bushy parkrun's own Danny Norman and the Marathon Talk Team.
