#137 - The Power of Honest Storytelling & How Emily Crane Ran 12 Marathons at 22 | The RunThrough Podcast
Tuesday, 25 November, 2025
In this episode of the RunThrough Podcast, writer and storyteller Emily Crane joins host Ben Sheppard for her first ever podcast conversation.Emily has built a refreshingly honest corner of the internet with writing-first videos, thoughtful narrations laid over completely ordinary moments. Instead of oversharing her own life, she writes for “everyone”, tapping into that comforting truth that none of us really know what we’re doing in our twenties (or beyond).Ben and Emily dive into why social media clings to extremes while most of life happens quietly in the middle; how mundane moments with people matter more than we realise; and how long-distance running can completely shift what feels stressful. Emily talks about running 12 marathons in her 22nd year, the boredom and structure of training, saving “special” songs for the darkest kilometres, and using race trips to explore places she’d never otherwise visit.They also discuss why it’s so hard to say how we really feel, the relief of getting a thought out of your head and into the world, and Emily’s new book club, built around reading things that actually challenge you rather than choosing the easy option.If you’ve ever felt a bit lost, a bit overwhelmed, or unsure what you’re meant to be doing, this conversation will sit with you.Ben Sheppard - https://www.instagram.com/bensheppard93/Emily Crane - https://www.instagram.com/emilyrosecharlotte/
