Running can bring a range of positive mental, physical, and social benefits to an individual, but it can also be used to bring wider benefits to society, and this episode sheds light on one of the ways this can be done. He also shares his perspective, as a male, on some of the challenges females face, and how his increased awarness of these has led him to start an evening run club.
As we get closer to Christmas it is a good opportunity to spare a moment for the millions of people around the world who will be suffering and struggling at any given time. Maybe this episode can inspire you to use your running talents and connections to take positive action towards the greater good of society ;)
