Hey, it's Jody from Bad Boy Running again. This is the second part of our two-part episode with

0:06.1

Jonathan Albin. If you're listening to this and haven't listened to Part 1 yet, stop. I really

0:10.5

recommend that you go back and listen to the first one. Otherwise, a lot of this is not going to make

0:14.0

any sense. If you have already listened to it, then let's go straight back to John. Enjoy.

just be a bit more pure about it and just run for different reasons. So if I was better with

things like social media, I'm sure I could probably earn more money.

1:11.3

But at the moment, I've got more effort into training and making myself the best athlete I can be.
