Running is something I do. I don't want long waffling introductions because we haven't got time. We all know who Owen and Sam are. Let's start with Owen, very, very brief introduction and three possible words about what running means to you, Owen McGraw.
Ever wondered why running seems to be a lifeline for so many? Stuart Butler dives deep into this question with his friends in this episode of 'Henry Weston's Old Mate'. Joined by regulars Eoin and Sam, along with new voices Dave and James, the conversation flows effortlessly from the joys of pounding the pavement to the mental clarity it brings. Running isn't just a hobby for these guys; it's a vital part of their mental health toolkit.
