BITESIZE | Why We Were Born to Run | Vas...

Dr Rangan Chatterjee: GP & Author
About this episode

Do you think that running just isn’t for you? Or do you already enjoy running?


Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.


Today’s clip is from episode 31 of the podcast with sports reporter, author, and endurance runner, Vassos Alexander.


In this clip, he shares his inspirational journey - from being unfit and out of shape to running ultramarathons. He believes it doesn’t matter how far you run or how fast, just giving it a try could benefit your life in so many positive ways, and he gives some great tips on how to get started.
