In this episode David and Martin from The Green Runners talk about The Green Runners, how they started, who's involved and how runners can join and show their support for just £2.50 per year.
David and Martin share the four pillars that The Green Runners action:
How you Move - particularly transport to train and races
How you Kit Up - why not repair your shoes or ignore it when Strava tells you they need replacing and of course all those t-shirts races give us
How you Eat - you don't have to go Vegan
How you Speak out - sharing the messages with other runners
Here are the links to the repair sites that David mentions when talking about the Kit pillar:
Repair what you wear
Pairups
And the relay across the UK - Running Out Of Time 2023
Don't forget I'm offering a copy of my book - 12 Business Lessons from Running an Ultra Marathon to the listener who is wearing for training or racing or both the oldest pair of running shoes. Drop me an email to [e-mail] with details of your running shoes and how old they are - add a pic if you wish
