0:00.0	Hello everyone, welcome back to the FoodMedic podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Hazel. I'm a medical doctor,
0:08.8	nutritionist, PT, author and founder of the FoodMedic. Today I'm joined by two guests in the studio
0:14.6	with me, Ben Parker and Joshua Patterson from the personalized running app, Runa. Now, if you follow me on social media, you will
0:22.3	already know about this app because I'm constantly raving about it and I'm always using it.
0:27.3	I use it to program all my runs and prepare for all my races and so many of you have told me
0:31.9	how much you love this app too. I also work with the brand in partnership and really believe
0:36.6	in what they do.
0:38.1	So rather selfishly, I wanted to find out more about runner, how it came about,

1:15.4	so mind-blowing to me.
1:17.9	Ben also recently qualified for the Iron Man 70.3 World Championships.
1:23.3	And we're also joined by Josh.
1:24.9	Joshua is a four-time world record holder who has established himself over the last six years as an ultra athlete, completing world firsts and breaking several records.
1:35.6	Most recently, he was the first person to complete a marathon in all four UK countries within 24 hours and the first to run a marathon in all 76 UK cities consecutively.
1:48.5	I actually joined Josh on the last one and I'm still so impressed that he did 76 back-to-back
1:55.5	marathons. Just let that sink in. And because of all of that, Josh raised just shy of 400,000 four Samaritans in his
2:04.6	aim to help mental health across the world, which is incredible. So let's give Ben and Josh a big
