I've just listened to a 'free weekly timed' podcast from May 16th, where a lady called Anna McNuff was being interviewed about her 'Barefoot Britain' which she started on June 2nd. Both the podcast & her website, SM etc. are well worth checking out, this lady is definitely crazy, but in the best way possible!

There is a guy that runs barefoot at my local parkrun

Yeah, barefoot isn't for me!

I must get round to giving the parkrun podcasts a listen. There’s ‘free weekly timed’ and the unofficial one ‘With Me Now’ I believe. Anyone here listen and have a preference? I have heard some on the parkrun FB page saying they’re not keen on Vassos Alexander on the official one as he’s ‘not a real parkrunner’. No idea what they really mean by that... I usually listen to R4 while I’m on a long run anyway though. Not sure I’d fancy listening to a running podcast while running! 🤔

We’ve a barefoot runner at my parkrun too. Looks very hipster but I wouldn’t fancy it myself!

I've not heard of the with me now one but might give it a try. Vassos is OK, it's the guests they interview that always fascinate me though.

She wrote ‘Pants of Perspective’ which I thoroughly enjoyed. Tracks her running across New Zealand if my memory serves me correctly.
