Hello there and welcome to Run Pod where every week we discuss the feel good of running.

Now we all have our own reason to run, whether it's for physical or mental health,

Today, the chat is kind of running focus, but I mean, you have been fighting well. Congratulations, by the way, on that win that you just recently had. You retained your world title and you won every round as well. You must be feeling good. What kind of buzz do you get after a fight like that? It feels good.
