Summary

There is much excitement about races and running events gradually starting back in the coming months and if you are tempted to sign up to run somewhere exotic, try something challenging or have a go at getting your first medal, well this episode of RunPod is just what you need. Tobias Mews is a journalist and adventure athlete who likes a serious challenge and has experienced most running events out there. In fact if there isn’t one on the cards, he’ll invent one! He’s run so many different races, he’s even written a book about them! He’s got bounds of energy, is ridiculously enthusiastic and a great raconteur making this episode an absolute must-listen. So which race is the most gruelling, which is the most ‘romantic’ and which is for beginners?.... Tobes tells Jenni about so many fascinating events that you’ll certainly fancy signing up for (at least) one. Enjoy. Happy running.

You're good to go. It's free. It's something

0:38.9

you can do in your own, in your own time, use it to explore, travel, to get fit, to compete,

quite fresh from my 12 kilometre run. I'm just throwing that out there, quite proud of that.

1:17.2

And then I look on your Instagram and not only have you run further, but you've run more than

1:22.2

double that. And it's just like, you know, an average weekday, mid-morning that you've done that.

1:26.8

Tell me about this ridiculous challenge you were doing. Oh, God, I wish I could say know, an average weekday, mid-morning that you've done that. Tell me about this
