Episode Synopsis

Guide runner Simon Elliott has helped visually-impaired runners complete everything from 5km parkruns to marathons, and even cross-country ultras.It was something he only took up after his wife volunteered him to help twin girls complete the Daventry parkrun course, but it's become a huge part of his life since then.As well as talking about what it takes to be a good guide runner and how people can get involved, I spoke to Simon about some of the things he's been doing during the coronavirus lockdown to help visually impaired people stay part of the running community.--------Visit Running Tales on Substack: ⁠https://runningtales.substack.com⁠Search for Running Tales wherever you listen to podcasts to find our audio version of episodes.
