Hello there. Welcome to another gathering of the Run Pod Run Club. If you're new, welcome along.

This is where runners unite. And by the way, already this year, I have heard from plenty of new members who have maybe just started running or who have just started listening to podcasts while running.

So I hope you find it helps.

Sometimes hearing how running makes someone else feel,

why they love to run, and what they get out of it is motivation enough

to make you run a little bit further or even maybe a little bit faster.

So today I am thrilled to be joined by a singer who only started running a year ago.

And in that time, she's seen a huge change in her outlook, her fitness and her health,

physical and mental.

In fact, she's taken to running like a fish to water and loves it so much that she's even

written a song about it.

And it's blooming brilliant.

I'm thrilled to be joined by Lucy Spraggan. Hello. Hello. Welcome

to Rumpot. Thank you so much for having me. I think you already know how excited I am to be on Rumpot.

Well, it's always nice when you ask someone to come on Rumpot and they go, I actually listen.

And I was like, yay! It's really funny because I do, I listen a lot.

I love listening to podcasts when I'm long distance running.

So what better than listening to a podcast about running?

And it's funny because when I get to the top of a hill,

I can always hear Amanda Holden saying the hardest bit of running for her is getting to the top of a hill and carrying on.

And for some reason, it's Amanda Holden's voice from RunPod that sort of spurs me on to keep going.

That's what gets you up the hill.
