Hello there and welcome to another episode of this bonus series, Meet the Rumpod Run Run Club. Now I'm Jenny Faulkner and

I've mentioned many times that for me running gives me confidence. It's amazing as well how

something as simple as a run can change your entire outlook and make it seem so much more positive.

Well today's guest is someone whose life has also changed so much since he

discovered the joys of running. Please welcome to Run Pod. Pete Riddleston, hello there. Hi, Jenny.

How are you doing today? Very good, thanks. How are you? Yeah, no, I'm really good. Thank you.

Okay, have you been for a run today? I haven't. I had a very

early start this morning. I'm working in London today, so I was on the train early, but I was out

for a run yesterday, so that was really good. I know, do you know what? I was also out for a run yesterday,

and can I just say, we scored well because today it is rubbish weather. I don't know what it's like wherever you are, but yesterday was actually okay. Today it's chucking it down, so it seems to be okay. Can I ask a little bit about you, Pete,

you know, where you are from, where you live, what you do for a living? Yeah, sure, absolutely.

I live between Worcester and Stratford upon Avon, a little village called Inkborough. And what I do for a living is I work in

learning and development in the legal sector. So I help law firms develop their people through

their learning and development programmes. And that's sort of what I specialise in. But I started my

career as a lawyer, so I've sort of always worked in this

sector, really. Okay, very nice. And running seems to be very much part of your life now, but

actually it's interesting because that certainly wasn't always the case. Am I right in saying that?

Yeah, yeah, absolutely right. I mean, I've always loved sports. So sports has been a big part of my

life since I was little, really.

But running is quite a new thing for me, so I only got into running about five, six years ago.
