Summary

In this episode of RunPod, Jenni is joined by someone who seems to have tried his hand at most sports - he is Mr get up and go...it is TV presenter Gethin Jones. Gethin spent a few years fronting Blue Peter where he threw himself into some extreme challenges, many were running related. Jenni chats to Gethin about when he started running, how often he gets out there now and the most gruelling run he completed, surprising everyone in the process. It's a lovely episode with someone who has certainly ticked a ton of stuff off the bucket list...and it will absolutely motivate you when you head out for your run! Enjoy.

I mean, you can say that, but my neighbour, who has seen me running quite a lot, calls me The Terminator,
