Hi there, welcome to RunPod. I'm Jenny Falconer.

And just before this new episode begins, well, I just want to tell you that some big things are coming in the Rompod world from even more brilliant guests to new merch.

Yep, new merchandise is on the way, which by the way I've been trying out.

I am loving it and I cannot wait to share it with you.

Also, I've got a huge competition on the way too.

So in order to be the first to hear about all of this and to be with a chance

of winning some fab running goodies, then all you need to do is sign up to receive the newsletter.

And you can do that very simply by going to runpod.com.ukuk. That's runpod.combe. It's that easy.

Okay. And now for this week'spod.co.uk. It's that easy. Okay.

And now for this week's episode.

Hello there and welcome to another gathering of the Rompod Run Club.

I'm Jenny Faulkner.

And one thing I love about Rompod and running is the fact that it brings so many people together.

Running is about going for a run, yes, but it is also about the community and the support

we all have for each other, the camaraderie, and even the advice that we offer each other

if required.

One person who's very much part of the Rompod Run Club is today's guest, running has

helped him over the years because he's had times when he's struggled with his mental health.

So to talk about why running is so important to him,

please welcome Richard Fletcher, also known as Big Fletch. How are you?
