Eilish McColgan, one of Britain’s most decorated middle and long-distance runners joins Paula Radcliffe & Chris Thompson to talk Great North Run, training at altitude, growing up with Athletics icons like Grete Waitz and the McColgan family name as her 'Normal' (thanks to mum Liz)!

Plus, how Eilish came back from injury with alternative training, sharing special career moments with her family and being carried to the most amazing Commonwealth Games victory by the crowd.
It’s not long to go to the GNR so who else is excited? 🙋 Thommo definitely is with his busy schedule!

Paula gives advice on how to run the terrain of the GNR, Thommo tells us about not quite being King of the Hill and of course, the Honours board.
Also, will YOU join Paula & Thommo for a real life Shakeout run in Gateshead?!
