Regular hosts Oska and Tom introduce themselves to the listeners. Go from drug cars in Spain, how much we sweat all the way to their thoughts on a shoe rotation. How running in heavy shoes is like driving a car with the hand-break on and why you should join our Strava Run Club.
Oska (owner at the Frontrunner and elite distance runner)
Tom (Track athlete, works at the Frontrunner and after some unlucky injuries is heading over to 70.3 Triathlon).
Both these guys love shoes, hitting the pavement, and sharing the joy of the sport with people.
