Summary

You may be listening to this episode of RunPod as a companion as you pound the pavements or head out on the trails, but what if you could find someone in your local area to go for a run with, to share the passion, motivate each other and maybe even compete with to run just that bit further or faster. Well, this week Jenni is joined by three friends who have come up with an app to help you do just that. BuddyUp is a matchmaking fitness app for runners to find, like and match with nearby training partners. Joey, John and Emily chat to Jenni about how they came up with the idea for the app, their running experiences, the advantages to running with a buddy, including safety, the feedback they've had from users and their ambitions for the future.

0:00.0	Hello there, welcome to another gathering of the Run Pod Run Club. I'm club leader,
0:08.2	Jenny Falconer, and it's great to keep you company on your run today, if you are indeed
0:12.4	out there pounding the pavements or exploring the trails. If you're listening and thinking
0:18.7	about going for a run, well, hopefully this episode will
0:21.2	inspire you to get up and get out there. Some runners, I know, are a bit less enthused about
0:27.2	heading out, especially in cooler, darker months. Or, you know, perhaps it's just hard
0:32.0	getting going. If you had a running buddy that you'd committed to run with, though, well,
0:40.1	things might be much easier.
0:44.8	And this is where today's guests will be very handy indeed.
0:50.5	We have three guests in this episode, and they are three friends who have come up with a brilliant concept, which means that you will always have a running buddy. They have created an app called
0:58.2	Buddy Up. They will tell us more all about it. But first, let me introduce you to the team.
1:03.6	We have, I'll do it one by one. Hello, Emily. Hi, Jenny. Hi. Hello, John. Hi, Jenny. How
1:08.9	how you doing? And well, thank you. And hello, Joey. Hi, hi, Jenny. This is John. Hi, Jenny, how you doing? Well, thank you. And hello, Joey.
1:11.6	Hi, hi, Jenny.
1:12.6	This is like a record.
1:13.6	Never had three guests on at the same time before.
1:16.6	So, and what I think is the most hilarious of all is that you're all in the same house, aren't
1:22.6	you?
1:23.6	We are.
1:24.6	Secluded in separate rooms.
1:25.6	Exactly. We had a very fun sound check before this where we were going in different rooms trying to hear the echo.
1:31.9	Yeah, exactly.
