Hello there, I'm Jenny Falconer here to welcome you to a special mini series of Rompod in which I'm joined by the brilliant Emma Kirk O'Donubi, who not only is a brilliant runner herself,

to talk about it constantly so that people get it ingrained and can learn and then help

other friends and other runners. Yeah. Do you know what I love, I mean, we've known each other

for so long and it's always been through running events or Barry's Book Camp or different different things like that. And that was long before we actually chatted on Run Pod. How is your running coming along at the moment? Yeah, it's going good. I've kind of taken a step back from marathons. So I did a good, I did think, five marathons in about three years.
