The Pace Invader
The Pace Invader is a podcast about the miles that shape us. In each episode, I chat with everyday runners about why they run, what they’ve learned along the way, and the stories behind their strides.
From first 5Ks to marathon memories, mental health to mid-run music choices, we talk honestly about the highs, lows, and everything in between. Whether you’re training hard, running slow, or just thinking about lacing up—these are real voices from real runners, usually recorded just after Parkrun while the sweat (and endorphins) are still fresh.
Because everyone’s running story is worth telling.

Jillian - Running to heal
It was one of the windiest interviews I’ve ever recorded — but Jillian wasn’t fazed. She’s the kind of runner who keeps showing up, whatever the weather.
In this episode, we talk about running when she was younger, taking a long break and returning in her 50's. We discuss motivation, some tragedy and why not every run needs to be a race.
It’s an honest, grounded chat with someone who runs for all the right reasons — no ego, no drama, just love of the sport.
