    Season 2 - Jerry Carey Interview

    Season 2 - Jerry Carey Interview

    On this week's show, we attempt our first ever remote 'on the run' interview, speaking to Jerry Carey. Jerry's story is a tough one - from abuse and care homes in her childhood to teenage drug and alcohol misuse ending in her falling into an abusive and controlling relationship in her twenties. But Jerry was put in touch with the Running Charity, and running and exercise helped her change her future and build a new life. Jerry's story is one that was featured in the book 'Running Stories: By Runners of All Ages, Speeds and Backgrounds' by Jerry Lockspeiser and Andrew Roberts.

    LGR Podcast Mark 2. Episode 1

    It's been over a year, but Shaun is back. We are rebranding the show - we've been inspired, we miss running and chatting so Shaun will be recording his conversations with inspiring people while he runs. It has the capacity to go completely tits-up but it could be worth a listen too. We want to understand how running and exercise has shaped people's existence, what impact it has on their lives and how they want the 'relationship' to develop. Watch this space for some great interviews

    Total Recall : What's been happening

    Been a while...Shaun, Robbie and Tom are back for a chat about what's been happening. We tried and failed to cover it all- but we had a nice time talking about it. Robbie talks about Le Jog using a dodgy wifi connection from on high, and Tom talks about the return to domestic racing before being interrupted by Shaun and his tube train licking antics.

Fun & Factual

Sat listening to the recovery series whilst on COVID19 lockdown. Great guests & loving Robbie’s blunt take on all things recovery. Well worth a listen.

Much love, Highgate's lad from the other Broadchurch.

One of my favourites

One of the best running podcast out there , not 2long as some seem to go on far to long , great insight into all different types of running and racing, some very interesting and elite athlete guests on give some insight into there careers and training, will miss the Carmel Kid was very knowledgeable in his athletics and very funny with his bus going’s on but I’m sure he back on as guest one day , keep up the good work 👍

Perfect listening when running

OK - so I'm not core audience, I'm not a 10k/ half/ marathon/ trail/ ultramarathon runner. More a saturday morning ParkRun slogger but this pod is great listening when running. Will miss Jermaine's bus driving anecdotes (who knew buses had such comedy potential ...) but the core of this podcast is always the interview. Great job to get such varied, interesting and thought-provoking interviewees. Now, I need to get my running distance up as I keep getting home before each episode finishes .......
