Hello and welcome to another episode of RunPod in lockdown. So Britain's still very much

battling coronavirus and life is a little different to normal, whatever the new normal is. I'm Jenny

Faulkner here to try and provide you with some running motivation or at least maybe give you something

to listen to

while you take your daily exercise. And if you needed coerced off the sofa, then today's

guest might be exactly who you need to hear. He is hardcore. I mean, that quite frankly is the

best word to describe him. Possibly one of the fittest people ever on RunPod.

Ex-special Forces, one of the stars of Channel 4s, Who Dare's wins. He's climbed Everest twice.

And he's also got an incredible endurance challenge coming up. More on that in this episode.

And each step along the way, well, he's used running in his training. Welcome to Run Pod

at Jamie Morton. Hi, Jenny. Hi. Hello. How are you? Very good. Thank you. How are you?

I'm great. Thanks. Thanks for having me on. That's all right. I'd just like to say, you know, because obviously

of your background, we thought we'd give you a very tough initiation

challenge and that was getting on to run pod on the first place yeah that was probably the hardest

thing i've ever done in my life i'm not very tech savvy to be honest well no don't neither am i the thing is

because of you know lockdown happening at the moment run pod is being done with us all in self-isolation. So it's thanks to the magic of the internet that we've actually made this happen today. So thank you for trying and persevering and getting through and coming on RunPod. I appreciate it.

Yeah, brilliant. It's weird times at the minute, isn't it? With all this, you know, we're all connecting through the internet. No one's seeing anyone in person. I know. How much of your day is a Zoom chat? Oh, God, loads. I'm getting sick of it now, though. I'm ready to see some, I'm ready to see a real person. Do you put some effort into your appearance when you're on Zoom and relax a little bit

when it's a phone call?

Well, I wasn't sure whether this would be a Zoom chat or a phone call, so I've put my best

t-shirt on.

Oh, I don't even get to see it.

I know.
