I’ve been listening to Off Menu with James Acaster and Ed gamble and the times flies. They just sit an talk about their dream menus but are very funny and have different guests on each one. Today I listened to the news quiz which was good as a perfect length and again v funny, was laughing as I ran, probably looked insane haha!

Desert island discs. Nice mix of chat and music and just over 30 mins or so. Go for it!

Always is! That’s the ‘toxic ten’ for you. Get past that and you can get into your stride.

Hey! I run the C25K app alongside my classic fm radio app. Maybe classical is not for you but you could always try another radio station. I enjoy listening as I run not always but sometimes helps.
