The Local Running Club Pod is a place where I delve into the local running club scene to see what makes club runners tick. A chance to hear from the NORMAL runner who has to get up at 5am to fit a run in because they have to work or a family to manage. Once a week I will be showcasing a different club runner, seeing what makes them tick and listening to inspiring stories for runners of all standards. We will get an insight into running clubs and how they operate. The Local Running Club Pod is hosted by Greg Robinson and is available at all good podcasting platforms
