The Run Testers Podcast

Although we'd love to, we don't have a lot of free time to answer all of your questions on the channel. That's why we're bringing Points of Shoe back so we can dedicate a whole podcast to responding to your messages.
In this episode, Tom and Nick answer a whole heap of great questions, from whether there should be entry requirements for the London Marathon, to what we'd pick in a two shoe rotation.
