Hello there, welcome to RunPod, the Run Club of the podcast world. Now, I'm Jenny Faulkner,

club leader. And ever since RunPod first launched, it's been my mission to create a lovely,

friendly, supportive community with the RunPod Run Club. The's been my mission to create a lovely, friendly, supportive community

with the Run Pod Run Club.

The club's grown.

There are members of all running abilities, styles, speed, shapes and sizes.

Everyone is welcome.

And with that in mind, it soon became clear to me that some of the best guests are you,

the members of the club, the ones who listen to the podcast.

Stories are all different, running journeys have taken us all on different paths.

And so now in these bonus episodes, we're going to meet the members.

And first up, I have a guest who posted a brief outline of his story on the Run Podron Club Facebook group, and it went nuts.

Everyone was in awe, I suppose, of his recovery through what he went through and hugely inspired by his tale.

So here to tell us all about his running journey is Neil Holmes.

Hello there.

Good afternoon.

Thank you very much for having me, Jenny.

That's right.

I feel like I have to be on my best behaviour because you are ahead of year in a school,

aren't you?

I certainly am.
