All the news that's fit to run
Yes, I’m fully aware: no one needs another podcast. Especially not another runner podcast. Especially not from a guy who calls himself The Size 15 Runner. And, especially not from someone with less than 100 Instagram followers. (Instagram follower count is the ultimate arbiter of worth, right?)
But The Size 15 Runner Podcast isn’t just another podcast. Well, it is, but it’s not the same old, same old podcast. Think of it as half audiobook, half podcast, fully unique.
