Hello there, welcome to another gathering of the Run Pod Run Club, where every week we all get together to run, or at least think about running.

It is that time of year, of course, when it's a bit chillier outside.

And quite frankly, sometimes the sheer thought of heading outdoors for a run is not so tempting. And this is where

today's guest will be brilliant, because he can give you a really good reason to get out there

and run. Today, I'm joined by someone well known more for rugby than for running.

He was capped I think 37 times.

It's former Scotland captain and former British Irish lion.

It's Rob Wainwright.

Hello there.

Hello.

How are we doing?

Yeah, very, very well indeed.

How are you doing?

Very, very good.

Slightly nervous about talking about a running podcast when I've got knackered knees and

and I can't get out on the road very often, but I've run a lot in my lifetime.

So a lot of it may be retrospective.

Yeah, but you know, we have a lot of sports stars on RunPod.

Not so many rugby players, admittedly, which is a shame because you obviously need to run to be a good rugby player.

And, you know, you've had done, you have done your fair share of running for fitness over the years.

Oh, I absolutely loved running.
