Episode Notes

"My passion has always been in helping people achieve their active goals - which is how this all started."


After 5 years building Runna from an idea to the world's top-rated running coaching app, Coach Ben has made the decision to move on and take a well-earned break.

In this special farewell episode, Ben and Anya look back at over 100 weekly episodes together: the most inspiring conversations, the moments that had them in stitches, and the guests they'll never forget. And in true Ben style, he signs off with two coaching tips to help you keep running for life.


Ben's passion has always been helping people achieve their active goals - it's what started Runna, and it's what will shape whatever comes next for him. For now, he's stepping back to focus on his own training, spend more time with Jess and Scoobie, and work out the next chapter.


The Runna Podcast isn’t going anywhere. But this episode is our chance to say thank you - for the coaching, the laughs, and everything Ben has built. We hope to see you on the start line soon.
