Welcome to the weekly Shakeout where we respond to all of our lovely listener's questions. This week we discuss Swiss ball, medicine ball or both for strength training, we talk 'Shuffling' and whether you should try to improve or change your running form and we also get a bit medical with questions about illness affecting running and whether or not giving blood has an impact.

PLUS we have The Honours Board which is secretly one of our favourite parts of the pod - celebrating YOU or someone you think deserves to be given a bit shout out.

Also, please keep sending videos and photos.

We put them all on our video versions of the episodes which you can find on YouTube.

We'd love to hear more from you with your questions, comments and nominations for the Honour's Board and don't forget you can also WATCH and comment on the episode on YouTube.

Bonus Paula's Run Club Episode Alert!

London Marathon Race Director Hugh Brasher sits down with Paula and Thommo to talk about The Double: the 2027 London Marathon which is now being run over 2 days.

We all had lots of questions and a LOT of excitement when the announcement was made, but how exactly is this going to work?

Who will run on which day?

Will there be a special Saturday medal?

How will London be affected by the marathon taking over for a whole weekend - with the kids' races now on Friday as well?

How will those young runners cope with having to take a day off school?!

And... is this REALLY a one-off?

We try to get Hugh to answer all of these questions in this special bonus Q&A.

Massive thanks to Hugh for his time to come on to the pod.

We'll be back with a Shakeout on Thursday and another full podcast on Monday.

We'd love to hear from you with your questions, comments and nominations for the Honour's Board which has now moved to The Shakeout episode on a Thursday. Don't forget you can also comment on the episode on YouTube.

Welcome to Week Eight of "Here Comes The Run" and we've got World Cup fever too! Former England footballer Danny Mills chats to Paula & Thommo about his many roles as athlete, dad and of course, marathon runner! We're not sure how many hats that is, but probably not as many as his caps for England.

Danny talks to us about how the power of the mind helps him to go further than he expects and about the joy in the individualism in running. He reminisces on his career as a footballer calling it the best career on the planet but admits it took it's toll on his body. These days he's relishing the lack of competition in his sport whilst simultaneously helping his children to be competitive and resilient in their new sporting careers. This is not one to miss if you're juggling parenting ambitious children!

We're also talking rollercoasters again... hands up if you've been on The Big one in Blackpool!

Welcome to Week Seven of our "Here Comes The Run" series where we sit down with CBeebies presenter Evie Pickerill.

Evie ran her first London Marathon this year in her role as a Children with Cancer Ambassador and she's got a secret... she was a swimmer, not a runner, so we find out if the experience has made her change lanes.

We talk about jeffing, how she got through those long - sometimes wet - runs and how to fit training around her busy job at the BBC. Evie also tells us about how when she needed to dig deep in the hard marathon moments, she took solace in remembering why she was doing it in the first place, to raise awareness for children who are battling with cancer.

There's school sports day chat and also a Banksy quote that Thommo still can't quite remember!

It's Week 6 of our "Here Comes The Run" series and this episode is a very special and emotional one.

Paula and Thommo talk to the running inspiration Jordan Adams who is one half of The FTD Brothers - the one that carries a fridge around his marathons!

Jordan and his brother Cian run in memory of their mum who was diagnosed with ‘Early-Onset’ Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) before she sadly passed away on 14th March 2016 at the age of 52.

However, their story doesn't end there, and Jordan tells us how when he and his brother were also diagnosed with this disease, Jordan decided to use the power of knowing what lies ahead to take action in the form of raising awareness as a community speaker and fundraising through his running - he's done marathons, ultras and even attempted 982 laps of an athletics track in the depths of winter! We learn about Jordan's incredible story and how he sacrificed his career as an amateur footballer and painting & decorating to advocate for FTD.

Welcome to this week's Shakeout where we're catching up on our mailbox from you lovely listeners (admittedly a few are a little late!)

In this episode we explain just what a NEGATIVE SPLIT is and Thommo has a wonderful electric car metaphor for you - you'll have to listen to find out!

We hear from a listener who has used the pod to help them tick off the boxes to marathon success, we give advice for an over-60 runner who wants to increase their speed, WE get advice on some new trails to try out and there's advice for a runner doing a high altitude marathon.

If you're looking for running inspiration either because you've reached the 40 milestone, are perimenopausal or because you also quite fancy running up volcanoes then don't miss this episode with Jo & Gav Pavey.

We talk to five-time Olympian Jo about being an inspiration to many after winning the 10,000m gold medal at the European Championships in Zürich, just ten months after giving birth to her second child becoming the oldest female European champion in history at the age of 40 years and 325 days.

We dig into the world of Gav, Jo's husband and long-term coach who has been instrumental in many of Jo's achievements and who now has a successful training squad of youngsters including cross country champion Innes Fitzgerald.

We dare you to not put on your running shoes after listening to this legendary pair!
