On this weeks episode of RunThrough presents ‘Gone Running’, Jessica Van Droogenbroeck.
 
Jess is a runner and triathlete who recently took part in The Speed Project, a 553km relay between LA and Las Vegas with a team of amazing Women for Lululemon!
Having had an imperfect race at the London Marathon in 2023, Jess decided to swap out her trainers for cleats for a while and feel in love with cycling, that coupled with a competitive swimming background lead her to qualify for the Ironman 70.3 World Championships  in New Zealand at the end of the year. 


In this conversation Ben and Jess cover her experience out in the States, how her WhatsApp messages with her mates have changed over the years and how she’s feeling about the 70.3 Worlds.

In this episode of RunThrough presents ‘Gone Running’ Emily Shane!

Emily who days before this conversation finished her first ever marathon in Brighton is all about embracing YOUR pace!

Over the years Emily’s relationship with running has been a rocky one, from hating it in school, to binning her Manchester half marathon medal and swearing she’d never run again, to now amassing an impressive social media following and inspiring many to reevaluate the reasons that they run!

In this conversation Ben and Emily talk about how finding a community of like minded runners has helped her fall for running like she never has before, why we should all truly believe in the phrase ‘If you run, you’re a runner’, rather than just saying it, and how you could join her and Celina Stephenson in a collaborative event with us at RunThrough in Hyde Park on the 25th May!
