He Started a Run Club. Nobody Showed Up.

Cam wanted to create the kind of run club he'd once been too intimidated to join himself. So he announced the first session, picked a meeting place and turned up. Nobody else did. The following week, four friends quietly decided to show up and support him. Slowly, other runners followed. Today, Cam's Run Club is built around one simple rule: nobody runs alone. But Cam's own running journey has required plenty of persistence too. He started running in his late twenties, initially for weight loss and his mental health, before setting his sights on a sub-3:30 marathon. It took eight attempts. In this conversation, we explore why starting can be harder than running itself, creating a genuinely inclusive running community, chasing goals without comparing yourself to others... and why Cam still believes the runners at the back deserve the most support. 🎧 Prefer to listen?
