Description

Roger Robinson is a writer, journalist, commentator and a runner. 
His 2018 book "When Running Made History" is a fascinating dive into his own personal memories with the sport from the 'austerity' Olympic Games that followed the second world war in 1948 to the defiant and celebratory victory of Meb Keflezighi at Boston in 2014. 
An accomplished runner himself, with a PB in the marathon of 2:18:41 and still to this day challenges what is possible with running and age. 
It was an honour to sit down and pick through some of his incredible experiences.

Running is big. Elite athletes, records, technology, cutting edge gear. But it’s big for the people who lace up, head out and grab some miles. Day in, Day out. Whether it’s making it around the block, your first mile unbroken, feeling part of a community, clearer in your head or breaking what’s physically possible. Every Run is The Big Run. Join Danny on The Big Run podcast as he chats to friends, athletes, entrepreneurs, innovators, psychologists and many more in the world of running and beyond.
