His competitive streak means he can nail an explosive 5k but where does he go from here? What’s the next step in his running journey? Jenni and Mark discuss how running makes him feel, why he prioritises fitness and how he’d approach a potentially huge challenge in 2020. What is it? You'll have to listen to find out!
