Description
In episode 27 of the Women’s Running podcast, we speak to Jo Pavey. Yes, Jo blooming Pavey. It’s difficult not to feel starry eyed about five-time Olympian Jo Pavey, but she instantly puts you at your at ease. She’s warm, lovely and super enthusiastic about running at all levels. She’s more than happy to offer advice to us amateurs and is keen to get us all out running. “Running is amazing!” she says, And she’s right. We talked to Jo on a chilly January day over Zoom. We start off by talking about the challenges of homeschooling, as we had both had to nudge our children out of our respective rooms before we began talking, and also about being a Women’s Running cover star – Jo graces our February cover in style. We also talk about her memories of the Olympics, discussions around her age, competitiveness in sport, friendship with her colleagues, how to encourage your kids to be active, and spreading the Saucony love to her entire village. She’s ridiculously lovely, is Jo: we hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed talking to her.This episode is sponsored by Decathlon.
