Hello there. Welcome to yet another gathering of the Run Pod Run Club and club leader Jenny Faulkner here with a guest this week. He's been on before. I loved it so much. Wanted to come back on quite frankly. Last time though, he did come on with two other people. So he was really battling to be heard over them. He was on last time with

his fellow podcasters from the Sofa Cinema Club, Jack P. Shepard and Ben Trup Price, but this time

he is braving it alone. Welcome to Run Pod, Coulson Smith. Hello. Thanks for having me

back on. Second time. I know. I like it. I feel lucky. I feel like

I feel like I might go for the hat trick as well next time. Yet I still haven't been invited

spoke to who have found running in lockdown and have really kept with it. And for me, I'm just

grateful for that because otherwise,

I don't know if I'd be running. Like, I don't think I would have the bug for it like I've

got it now sort of thing. Yeah, but also I think you possibly wouldn't have had the same time

and you wouldn't have been able to commit as easily because your schedule's all over the place

and you don't know necessarily what you're doing one week to the other. Yeah, that's the bit that

I kind of found in lockdown when everything stopped, it was the first time from me being 10 years

old where I had no responsibilities. I had no work. So I was just sat and I kind of thought, right, well,
