About this podcast
Built on the mantra “run the runnable,” this show is about what’s possible rather than the pressure of perfection. We embrace an accessible, light-hearted, and sustainable way of training and racing - welcoming runners of all abilities to join the adventure.
Inspired by nature and the freedom of the outdoors, we marry our laid-back approach to running with a tenacious desire to push the limits of what’s possible. We prioritise community, inclusivity, and a balanced way to run, encouraging everyone to embrace their own version of what’s “runnable.” That’s Runnable is here to inspire you to enjoy the run while building a friendly and supportive community around the sport.
