| 0:14.8 | Hello there, welcome to RunPod. I'm Jenny Faulkner. And one of the great reasons for doing this podcast is to hear so many |
| 0:21.6 | different people's reasons to run or maybe to hear about their running journey and how it impacts |
| 0:27.1 | their own health and well-being. And of course there are those who will share some really |
