Running, Life & Stuff!

Running, Life and Stuff is a brand-new, fortnightly podcast launched by Craig on 2 January 2024, where he chats all things … well … running, life and stuff. Craig’s a trail runner, coffee lover and adventure seeker. He’s also an ordinary guy in his 40’s, with a hectic job in the health and fitness industry, who unexpectedly found himself back on the dating scene after his marriage ended during lockdown. In 2023 Craig took part in the Race Across Scotland, a 215-mile ultra marathon covering one of Scotland’s greatest trails, The Southern Upland Way. Both the training for and participation in this epic event have left Craig with many tales to tell. Tales that will appeal to anyone who knows how it feels to push their body and their mind to the absolute limit! Joining Craig as co-presenter for the pod is Anna Tyler (aka Tyles). Anna has more than 15 year’s broadcasting experience as a News Editor, journalist and presenter. Having been part of the Capital East Midlands breakfast team Dino, Pete and Tyles, Anna is now freelancing for media giant Global Radio.
