First FKC Podcast guest with Jorryn Kizo, a Melbourne based marathoner who is currently running 10KM a day. This was recorded a few days before Run Melbourne so the race day related information may not be AS relevant now but still worth a listen for future races. I really enjoyed the conversation and things got juicy after we all felt comfortable after the first hour and things get more personal.
Thank you again for being our first guest Jorryn! We appreciate your support as we continue to improve our podcast.
