Customer Reviews
Essential listening.
Purple sign banter guaranteed.
Friendly and fun
A celebration of all types of running from park run to ultras, in a warm and welcoming manner. Also tackles head on issues such as mental health which are so close to many runners’ hearts.
Brilliant - You won’t regret a listen!
I discovered the What The Fartlek podcast via an Instagram post by other runners. It’s a great blend of humour and topical discussions around real runner stories such as mental health, runners safety, and the environment.
