For years she thought she couldn't run - now Alison Jones has run every day for nearly three and a half years. 'Streaking' is the technical term for running every day and Alison began her running streak on her 49th birthday aiming to complete a thousand days in a row. 

She's now exceeed that goal and doesn't intend to stop. Alison fits this in between running her business 'Practical Inspiration Publishing', hosting the 'Extraordinary Business Book Club, being head judge  of the Business Book Awards, raising money for the National Literacy Trust from her running streak AND being a mum.

Over the course of the 1,000 days, Alison also acquired a puppy, who now runs with her, been through  lockdowns,  home-schooling, and two house moves, but has always managed to carve out the time for at least a daily run.

She says running has kept her sane and her energy and spirits up through the craziness of the pandemic and beyond. And although she can't go on mad cap adventures around the world, she sees her runs as micro adventures discovering the landscape around her.

Listen to this warm and engaging conversation with Alison who's got some great insights into how to get going on achieving your own daily endorphine rush.
