Hello there, Jenny back with you to guide you through yet another episode of RunPod.

And today's guest, well, it's someone we all know, whether you followed his career when he was actually competing or you've seen him

commentating or perhaps you were so young that Dancing on Ice 2021 was your first introduction.

Well look, he's a household name. He is also a blooming speedy runner. He is Mr. Colin Jackson.

Hello. Hello. Hello.
