BONUS EPISODE | Tony Leonard

Apr 23, 2025 · 39 min · Ep 16

In this episode, we sit down with Tony Leonard, General Manager of VJ UK, to dive into the rich heritage of the brand and explore how the iconic iRock became a go-to choice for fell runners. We also touch on Tony’s own running journey, along with that of his wife Sharon and their son Rory Leonard — who currently holds the record for the fastest British 10K. It’s a mix of running passion, family dedication, and insight into one of the sport’s most respected footwear brands.
