In this episode of the podcast we chat with David Williams who recently published a book about his running adventures - its a fascinating read, penned while he and his wife were care-taking on Deal Island for 3 months (the book details are below)! Since he started running over 4 decades ago, the mental health benefits of running have helped him through some tough times. His love of running is clearly evident in our conversation, as is his desire to encourage more people to give it a go. It was a lovely conversation with a lovely bloke.
CHRISTMAS IDEA right here!!!
David’s book is called “An Unstoppable Runner” and all royalties go to the Cancer Council Tasmania - this would be a fantastic Christmas present for the runner in your life or a gift for yourself :) The book is available online in all good bookstores (I've always wanted to say that :p) OR you can email David directly and get a signed copy sent to you! flinders.runner@hotmail.com - not only will you get a signed copy, more money will go to the cancer council :)
