Never Run Alone

It is Never Run Alone.
Well then. What a week! And a huge episode of Never Run Alone to boot.
Firstly, thanks to all who came out to our live show on Friday night pre the weekend - we failed to mentioned it on the call, but it was a great show and we loved chatting with you all afterwards. Congrats to all who ran across the weekend too!
In this ep, Cam and Rien chat with two special guests! Up first, the newly crowned Australian Marathon Queen, Izzi Batt-Doyle, who ran Chicago Marathon on Sunday night faster than any Aussie female before her in a lightning 2:20:38 to go one better than fellow South Australian, Jess Stenson. She joins us on her first day back in Australia as we fire the questions her way.
Following that, we’re joined on the streets by speedster and social short-form dynamo Seth O’Donnell to chat through his win at the Melbourne Half Marathon, on what was a monumentous day with Eliud Kipchoge winning Melbourne Marathon, only to be soured by some unfortunate scenes later in the race.
All that and more on a HUGE Never Run Alone with Izzi Batt-Doyle, Seth O’Donnell, Cam Merrick with host Rien MacDonald.
