Hello and welcome to episode 27.1, I’m Andy Fuller, the host of Everyday Runners and a co-founder of Reading Sideways Press.
Firstly: I want to acknowledge the very nice conversations I have had with a few people about this podcast. It does mean a lot and it keeps me focused on staying steady with this project.
Secondly, there is a link in this week’s show notes for my fundraising for the KWF. If you are inclined to make a donation, I thank you kindly.
Lastly, I’ll be doing the Dam tot Dam on Sunday. This is a 16km race from Amsterdam to Zaandam. It’s the final preparatory race for me in my build up to the Eindhoven marathon which takes place on the 13th October.
Anyway, this second part to the conversation with Joji Mori contains some pretty clear and pertinent insights into Joji’s take on running. He talks about his competitive nature; being an administrator and making the club more open and accessible for a greater range of participants, and finally, his thoughts on ‘how to make running better’ as a global sport.
That’s enough from me.
Until next time, doi doi!
