Newbie runner

I have absolutely loved listening to these podcasts. I am reasonably new to running and I have just finished my first training plan and race. Now that I'm not in an active training schedule I am enjoying listening to all this information and spending time focusing on my nutrition, basic training and planning my next half marathon training plan. I am learning so much.
