We are back!!!! The Return of Rob & Ben
About this podcast
🎙️ Couch to Coached: Easily Distracted
Hosted by Rob Sillito & Ben Russell
It started as a running podcast. And technically, it still is. We just get distracted a lot.
Join Rob, a mental health nurse and everyday runner, and Ben, who runs his own Mini Athletics franchise business, as they chat about running, football, everyday life and pretty much anything else that comes to mind.
From marathon training and chasing PBs to football debates, questionable decisions and the occasional attempt to stay on topic, no two episodes are quite the same.
The award-winning Couch to Coached podcast is back with its original duo, a familiar name and a slightly different approach.
Expect:
🏃 Running chat, advice and experiences
⚽ Football, sport and everything in between
🎙️ Guests, interviews and interesting conversations
😂 Plenty of banter and completely random tangents
💬 Listener questions, stories and opinions
Whether you've been listening since day one or you're joining us for the first time, everyone's welcome.
Couch to Coached: Easily Distracted. Still running. Rarely on topic.
