    Is cycling good for running?

    I took up a challenge to cycle 100 miles from our village in Cambridgeshire to Aldeburgh on the Suffolk coast. So, now I'm in training, but this time on the bike. In this episode, I look whether there are advantages of cycling for running. Will cycling make me a faster runner? Will cycling make me fitter? Also, I got an email from podcast.feedspot.com saying that this podcast features in the Top 40 running podcasts, you might like to find other running podcasts from their list

    My month with Strava Premium

    I decided to give Strava Premium a go during April, it was partly because I was aiming to run 100 miles during the month to raise money for our church hall and partly because I wondered what I was missing out on. In this episode I talk about some of the benefits of having a premium subscription and how I found the month as a subscriber.

    Hay Fever and Running

    With the London Marathon tomorrow, I was reminded of the year when I ran the marathon but really struggled because of hay fever. I didn't really recognise what the problem was at the time but with a high tree pollen count again this year, I wondered whether there was anything in the scientific literature about running and hay fever, this episode is about what I found out.
