Ryan Atkins is a MACHINE.

There aren't many people as fit or as versatile across so many sports as Ryan.

An OCR world champ several times over, there doesn't seem to be an activity Ryan doesn't do, won't do or doesn't excel at. In this podcast, he joins Jody and David to discuss his many endeavours as well as his journey into trail running and ultra running.

Ahead of the interview, Jody and David blab on about:

What happened on their recent night out (spoiler: not much except drinking...)
Why you don't want to do the Bermondsey Mile when London City Runners are in a recruiting mood
What Jody and David REALLY think about the On Running subscription service
David discusses the recent Castor Semenya ruling
David has an idea about making the most of bleeding nipples (spoiler: it's a terrible idea)

Enjoy!
