This first episode of the “live beyond” podcast is an introduction to the theme of the podcast and a little bit about the podcast host, Viv Joynes, and her story. Summary: After heartbreak and divorce following a 12 year relationship, Viv needed to go on a journey. Inspired by others out there doing seemingly crazy things, running what appeared to be impossible distances, she thought to herself, “why not me?”. In reality, there were many reasons including the fact that when she came up with the idea, she had never even run a marathon. But over time, the idea of Viv Runs Europe grew organically, running from Poland to Spain, a distance of 3,850 kilometers. She would follow the path her gran took as a refugee at the end of the war and then continue towards the southern point of mainland Europe. It took six months from July 2014 to January 2015 with many highs and some lows too. A true adventure, one of the most life affirming experiences of her life so far.
