About the Podcast

Running Partners
Running partners in more ways than one! Running partners is a new podcast about all aspects of running, hosted by partners in life and running, Paul Griffiths and Alison Scope. We will discuss training, racing, nutrition, mental health, coaching, injuries, motivation, and much more, and our reflections in the context of fitting it all in to a busy family and work life. The podcast launches on 9th October and we are really excited to get going and would love it if you want to join us.

We will share our ideas, thoughts and learning across the topics and some of our experiences from years of running on and off road from track races to ultra marathons! We will also reflect on how our running is going week by week as we work towards our own goals.

Running partners is about us talking about the sport we love and hopefully bringing some helpful insight that will be useful to you. If you love running, then make running partners a regular partner on your next run by subscribing and listening to our podcast every week!

You will be able to find us on Spotify, apple, google and anywhere else you get your podcasts! Each episode is totally free and we hope you listen, subscribe and enjoy!

Alison and I are happily married with three boys and I love running most days, playing a bit of football, holidays and watching Sheffield Wednesday! I run my own business specialising in improvement, coaching and change in healthcare and am also training to be a running coach. My own running covers distances from 5k to 110 miles and a sub 3 hour marathon is my goal for 2024! Happiness for me is spending time with my family out and about enjoying life!

I've been running for about 11 years. I took up running outside (rather than some brief jogging on the treadmill at the gym) after I'd had my second (of three) baby boys. My main motivation was to lose a bit of baby weight and to avoid a few nappy changes! My motivation quickly changed from weight loss to improving my speed and endurance and I enjoyed the challenge. I joined a running club and did a few races and it went from there. My favourite distance is the marathon and on the roads, but I've done all sorts of races, 5k to 60 miles (as a runner for Paul's ultra), roads, trail and a few fell races - although I did get my leg stuck in a bog and and fallen over quite a lot of off road races! We've got three boys aged 14, 11 and 8, and their keenness for running tends to vary!
