This is a global player original podcast.

Hi there, I'm Jenny Falkiner, and I'm here to guide you through a very special festive episode of Run Pod, which

let's kind of become a bit of a tradition now.

It's the Run Pod Christmas Gift Guide 2022, because let's be honest, it can be quite tough

sometimes coming up with original ideas for gifts for runners.

So we're here to help.

And I say we, because obviously I do need help from two experts.

And I'm joined by two runners who really do know a thing or two about kicks, tech, and all the gadgets.

So to bring you up to speed with the best gadgets, gizmos and gear, first up,

please welcome back to RunPod, the editor of Women's Running magazine, Esther Newman.

Hello there, Esther. Hey, Jenny. Thanks for having me.

Oh, well, look, thank you so much for coming back on again. It's lovely to have you here. Also,

we have someone else new on board with us this year. We have a little help from Mike Saw.

Now, Mike's a journalist writing for GQ and men's health and the Metro. He's also a run tester extraordinaire.

Literally, he is one of the run testers.

So you can see them on YouTube.

They test all the kits.

But right now, he's here chatting to us.

Hello there, Mike.

Welcome to RunPod.

Hello, everyone.
