Daily Dose of Dopamine

Renowned podcaster, Jamie Laing, and former-England rugby captain, Chris Robshaw, have come together to create a new show for post-marathon listening. In partnership with sports retailer, Wiggle, and charity, Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), the podcast tackles the post-marathon blues (a feeling centred around a lack of self-worth or focus after completing this significant challenge) and helps runners through the post-race slump.    Prioritising their mental recovery as much as their physical, the show helps listeners create an ‘always up for it’ mentality. And to keep dopamine levels high, real-life anecdotes from Jamie and Chris’ careers give listeners useful advice and a good laugh at the same time.   For more information about Wiggle and this podcast series, please visit the brand blog at www.wiggle.com/guides/daily-dose   If you want to support CALM’s vital work, please visit the website at www.thecalmzone.net and donate or check out their events page to see how you can help CALM by running for them!   Additionally, your running group, club or crew can now sign up to be a CALM community and support CALM’s incredible work! You'll get loads of stuff from advice on how to support your members with CALM’s vital resources to how you can help CALM’s work through the thing you love. All while wearing a neon orange running top. What's not to love? If you’re keen to join, please sign up at - https://shorturl.at/bkV17
