Running Together S2 | Episode 3: Sharing the Trails

Imagine you have recently completed your first marathon on the roads of your local city. You are full of pride and appreciation for that accomplishment. Imagine then, not long after, running about 4 times longer but now, you are running or maybe walking now, along forest trails, up and down mountains, in mud and rain, and a thunderstorm! This is the journey for Anna and Andrew Yip who share what led up that extreme event, the race itself, and the reflections afterwards. Along the way, find out how running became a central part of their lives and so much more. Conversation Pace is back where Pete and Alex tackle injury and runner types.

Tune in this Monday, 8th of June from 11:00 am Plains Media 96.9 FM or afterwards on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Happy . Happy . 😁

If you get a decent group of people together, you will typically find a person who is fun to be around, who jokes, who entertains, who distracts you from the difficult, from the things that often make us complain, especially as runners, the weather, the number of hard runs or the length of the run, or the number of hills. We often don’t realise how important that person is until they are not there and then we think, that was less enjoyable, more painful. That is our overriding impression of our guest for this upcoming episode, but there is so much more to him than that. Loyalty, dedication to supporting people, to helping others, to getting things done. That in essence, is our guest, Ant Duncraft. Hear his story and laugh along, Monday, May 11th at 11.30am on Plains Media 96.9FM and on Spotify.

It’s Running Together time! Season 2 kicks off this Friday (April 10th) at 9am on Plains Media 96.9 FM along with airing on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. For those unfamiliar, Running Together is all about giving a voice to runners of all abilities, from Parkrun joggers to the elite, from track sprinters to trail ultras. Their stories are worth hearing and this is the place to listen to them. Episodes will normally air on the second Monday of each month at 11am. Our first episode provides a compelling story of recovery, connection and helping others. James, Macca McKenzie…his journey is so much more than just times and distances but about being confronted with life changing events, of building hope and a brighter future with the loving support of family and friends. It’s an epic voyage from the depths of self to generosity for others.

For the next episodes, enjoy the banter of Pete and Alex as they share their guests running journeys through life.
