About Running Won't Save You
A podcast for people that hate running podcasts.Hosted by author, coach and ultrarunner Allie Bailey, Running Won't Save You aims to be the most fun it can be whilst also offering a bit of insight, some proper advice and (sorry about this) some coaching tips in a way that won't make you want to throw your phone in the sea.With a weekly rotation of incredible co-hosts including former GB athlete Holly Stables, and WMRA expert and decorated ultrarunner Kirsty Reade, Running Won't Save You is the antidote to the influencer fronted bullshit you might be used to. Gosh there is a LOT of that about, isn't there?Each series is loosely based on a theme that carries through all ten episodes, allowing listeners to take action and hopefully create some results for themselves wherever they are in real time. It's an actual helpful podcast because I'm a coach and that's what I do.As well as the useful stuff, there's all the usual nonsense that you should be used to with Bailey podcasts, including tales from the hill, light bullying thinly disguised as banter, race reports and briefings plus your listener questions answered by our experts every single week.Send us your suggested topics, questions, thoughts, and feelings at runningwontsaveyoupod@gmail.com and follow us on Instagram at @runningwontsaveyoupodSeries six's topic iiiiiiissssss CHANGE!
