Hello there, welcome to another episode of Run Pod where every week I'm joined by someone who has a passion for running.

Now, I'm Jenny Faulkner and I'm very excited to say that despite being on different hemispheres,

today I'm joined by a man who's known as a musician, a comedian, an actor, a hugely successful writer and composer.

doing all the heavy lifting as she always does with the house move.

Metaphorically, we get someone else to do the actual heavy lifting.

And yeah, it's a bit bonkers at the moment, but generally it's pretty nice being in Sydney.

Yeah, I can imagine.

So when you say you went for a long run yesterday, how long was you a long run?

It wasn't very long compared to some people.

I did 16.5Ks. It's long for me.
