Hello there, welcome to another special episode of RunPod where we meet you, the

Rompod Run Club. I am Jenny Faulkner and my aim is essentially to unite as many runners as

possible and together, well, we can remind each other about the feel good of running, the

benefits of running, whilst sharing our

own reasons to run. Everyone gets something out of running, whether, you know, that be improved

fitness or time out on your own maybe, or perhaps it's a way to help you cope with something

that you've been through, maybe something like loss. And that is something we will

touch upon today. Because today, I am joined by my very special guest, Simon Truscott. Hello there.

Hello, Jenny. Hello. Thank you so much for coming and joining me here today. How are you?

Not too bad. Thank you. Good, good, good. Right. So before I start, I feel a bit like Silla here. I'm going to go tell me a bit about you, where you from, what do you do? Just so we get an idea of, you know, where you are and what happens to you on a daily basis? Yeah, I'm 49. I live in Cornwall. I have four sons, well, three sons and a stepson. Basically,

the main hobbies running, which I've done for many years. Yeah. I mean, as well, if you're

just sitting off on a run now and you're listening to this, I mean, Simon is a super speedy runner.

And by the way, it always has been. He just put a post up on his Instagram recently

Sharing a certificate, I love this, that you received age 12

Is that right?

Your first half marathon?

Yeah, it was just over 12 and a half, but yeah.

How many 12 and a half year olds do a half marathon

in 1 hour 57?

I don't think you'd be allowed to do it now.

I think we lived in a bit of a different world then.

But yeah, I did it with my dad, actually.
