Couch to Coached – AWARD-WINNING Running Podcast
Our 5 With The Listeners series has been refreshed and rebooted — new questions, new logo, new vibes, and this week… a very special guest.
Rob, Ben, and Emma sit down with our latest featured listener to explore their running story in a whole new way. We dig into:
And joining us for this exciting relaunch is Verity Ockenden — a British middle- and long-distance runner who has competed internationally and shared openly about her journey through the sport. Verity brings thoughtful insight, down-to-earth honesty, and a fresh perspective on training, resilience, and the everyday runner’s experience.
Rob, Ben, and Emma also check in on this week’s Strava leaderboard — who’s on top, who’s rising fast, and of course…
