Ep7: Ben Parker - Finding balance & will an app replace running coaches?

This week we chat to Ben Parker - co-founder of Runna, the first fully automated running coaching app.

A PT by trade, Ben started Runna with his co-founder, Dom, during lockdown after becoming frustrating with the inefficiencies in the world of personal running coaching. Fast forward just a few years, and Runna now delivers training plans, strength programs, nutrition tips and much more to 40,000 members in 180 countries.

We find out about Runna's plans for the future, whether we might see Olympians coached by AI services and how Ben balances running a successful startup with is own impressive running and triathlon journey. We also discuss sacrificing areas of your life in order to be successful and how finding balance is different for everyone.

To get a 2 week free trial with Runna, just sign up on the Runna app and use the code '5MILES'.
