What if running could be about more than pace, PBs and race medals?

In this episode, I sit down with Lucy Canham, founder of Run of a Kind Birmingham, a unique running community that combines running, local history, storytelling and exploration.

Lucy shares how her love of running, travel and meeting people through her career as airline cabin crew led her to discover running tours around the world—and ultimately inspired her to create something similar in Birmingham.

We discuss:

• How running became part of Lucy's life from a young age
 • The running tours that inspired Run of a Kind
 • Why Birmingham has more to offer than many people realise
 • The power of community in running
 • How running can combat loneliness and build confidence
 • Lessons from building a business from scratch
 • Why so many people underestimate what they're capable of
 • The difference between running for enjoyment and running for performance
 • How travel, fitness and connection can come together through running

Whether you're a runner, a business owner, a traveller, or simply someone looking to connect with others, this conversation is a reminder that running can open doors to experiences far beyond fitness.
