Hello there, Run Pod is back a brand new episode, which might mean that you're getting ready to go on yet another run, or maybe the talk of running will encourage you to consider getting your trainers on.

I'm Jenny Faulkner, and in this episode, I'm joined by a runner. You might know from years ago from Holly Oaks. Well, she

played Jude Cunningham and that. That was back in the 90s and again more recently, but she's now,

look, she's now incredibly busy away from acting. Health and wellbeing are a huge focus. She's

a best-selling author of Health Books. She's a fellow podcaster. And she is a runner yes indeed is devinia taylor hello there hello hello thank you
