I'm so honoured to have Becky Briggs - an elite runner, record holder and all-round ray of sunshine - on the podcast. Reflecting on her relationship with running, how it's shifted over time and how she came to represent Britain and win(!!) the Manchester Marathon by such a young age, Becky offers some beautiful perspectives on using running as a means to reconnect with yourself and with nature, as well as her experience recovering from injury.
