Martin Pert

This week RunPod recruits its first fighter pilot as we welcome Squadron Leader Martin Pert to the RunPod run club. 
Martin has been in the RAF for over 20 years and has just finished his 3 year tour of duty leading the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, also known as the Red Arrows.  
In this episide we get an insight into life as a Red Arrow pilot and why fitness is so crucial in this role. 
Martin is a passionate runner and he shares stories of some of the incredible places he has been able to run and reveals which races he would love to tick off the bucket list. 
It is a fascinating episode that truly is a must-listen and will absolutely urge you to get your trainers on and get out there.

Welcome to RunPod, the weekly run club you can join simply by listening. In this series Jenni Falconer welcomes special guests who share that passion for running. Together they’ll discuss the challenge, reward and sometimes obsession of pounding the pavement whilst asking what drives us to run, why some catch the bug more than others, and how it can transform the lives of those who do it. Along the way, you'll hear top training tips, monumental mistakes and some inspirational stories. So, whether you’re a seasoned marathoner, treadmill trainer, fitness guru or simply putting off that Sunday jog, RunPod is here for you.
