March 18, 2026·31 min·2 clips
A community-first episode of Couch to Coached featuring Ed (Ready Eddie Run), a Wolverhampton-accented Birmingham runner who founded a 35-person informal run club and is known for dancing mid-run. Ed answers six fun listener questions — covering his run club origins, mid-run dancing habit, obsession with Loreen's 'Euphoria', and how running transformed his confidence. He challenges all three hosts to a post-run dance-off and nominates Kazza Runs for the next Five with the Listeners. The episode also covers the weekly Strive leaderboard (Nick Griggs topping with 98.1 miles), shout-outs including Stoke Fit's Couch to 5K graduates and Chloe's first-ever half marathon PB, and the Sexy Graph vote won by Ben Russell. Rob reflects on how coaching Couch to 5K runners has been the highlight of his year and made him feel the best he has in 12 months.
