Taking a Run Class at Peloton Live Studios, London

I’ve had my Peloton bike for nearly two years and whilst I don’t use it as often as I did due to marathon training, I still love it. As well as the bike classes, I’ve also taken a number of running classes either outside or on my (non-Peloton) tread at home.  My...
