Podcast Goals

Holidays are coming people and we all know there’s two types of people in the world - the ones who do their Christmas shopping in July, then smugly sip mulled wine while fellow humans panic buy on Christmas Eve, and then there’s, well, the panickers. That’s right, this episode is all about #GiftGoals. Amy and Sophie discuss the best and worst gifts they have ever received (or given), they chat about doing secret Santa with work colleagues and why it’s the least fun ever and they also share some of the lovely ways we can all spread a little cheer through charity gifting to some very cool causes. As ever, they also laugh hysterically. Listen, laugh and join the fun by sharing your #GiftGoals with @podcastgoals on social media.

In this week’s episode of Podcast Goals Amy and Sophie meet the Founder of TrackMafia, lead coach of Nike+ Run Club and all round legend Cory (AKA Bit Beefy) to discuss all things #FitnessGoals.
