In this episode of the podcast ultra runner Stephen Redfern shares some of his running journey. He started running 9 years ago and within the first 12 months he had run an ultra marathon (or two!). He literally hasn’t stopped running since :)
Listening to Stephen you can hear the passion he feels for distance running of all sorts - from track to road and trails! Last year he competed in a 52 day race in New York, where the aim of the race is to complete 3100miles over that 52 days. In the podcast Stephen describes how that event unfolded for him and what he learnt from it.
As Stephen says in the podcast, running has made him content and happy - something it can do for all of us :)
