In 2006, our guest reached the 800m final at the World Indoor Championships in Moscow, having clocked a PB and Welsh indoor record of 1 minute 47.23 seconds in the semifinals but despite his incredible talents on the track, Jimmy ran his last full season in 2007 - before pursuing a career in music. He went on to have considerable success as the frontman of rock band Future of The Left and The Vega Bodegas. And got back into running in 2019 - documenting it with regular social media updates and through his own podcast, ‘Megabus To The Ritz'. Here Jimmy talks to Anna about everything that got him where he is today, the importance of music on a run and why he's no longer allowed in altitude tents.

    It's episode 52 people! NOT episode 51 as Allie keeps saying - she's mad, ignore her.This week we are chatting dinky donkeys, hypno-techno, and insomnia. Sounds like we've spent a weekend clubbing, right? WRONG! One of us is pregnant and the other one's just angry. The pod couldn't go by without a rant about UTMB and their mysterious dynamic pricing (we'd love to know your thoughts on that), Anna has a revelation about The Gummy Bear Lion King being the lead singer of Toto and we answer some burning questions in correspondence corner.This week's podcast is proudly sponsored by INOV8.
