Welcome to this week's shakeout where we open up the mailbox (well, emails, WhatsApp and socials!) and share all of our wonderful audience interaction with you.    

We hear from a listener who might be able to help us achieve our dream of running on a Formula 1 track - pinch us, is it real? It got us ruminating on the similarities between motor racing and running.. It's all about the fuel you put in!

We also discuss if and when to push on in a race if you're feeling a bit under the weather. As Thommo says, it's like when you're grumpy, you might not realise you're ill until you're not!

PLUS we have The Honours Board with lots of lovely pictures sent in so hop on to our YouTube channel so you can see them too! 

Paula personally requests you to please keep sending videos and photos.. We think they're brilliant. 

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.

Welcome to Week 11 of "Here Comes The Run" and we've got a refreshingly honest interview with World 1500m Silver Medallist Hannah England.

Hannah talks to us about life as a commentator after being an elite athlete and how she loves being able to still be involved in Athletics. Hannah opens up about the juggle of being a mum to a young baby and still needing to work - breastfeeding in any room available after commentating to the World! We hear about the joy that comes from running and not having the pressure to achieve any more because just chasing those endorphins is enough. 

She also reflects on some major changes in the sport and we get the inside scoop on the Diamond League in Monaco.

PLUS we have a listener offer...Wild Nutrition are giving Paula’s Run Club listeners an exclusive 50% off for three months and a free personal consultation with a nutritional therapist.

Welcome along to this week's Shakeout with answers to more of your questions.

This week we're looking at having runs around motor racing circuits inspired by our F1 episode. Thommo is hoping he still holds the record around Silverstone along with a 10k at Donington Park. And listener Scott from Leicester has let us know about Silverstone Runfest in November. Details at runfestsilverstone.com

We consider motivation for kids in sport and finding the balance between opportunity and burning out. There's also a double helping of IT band advice with some top tips from Paula and Thommo.

The Honour's Board features a lovely story of a run club at a special needs school and well deserved recipients.

Hope you enjoy it!

Also, please keep sending videos and photos.. We put them all on our video versions of the episodes which you can find on YouTube.

Welcome along to week 10 of "Here Comes the Run" with our really special guest Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill. Jess had a spectacular career winnng gold in the Heptathlon on Super Saturday at the London 2012 Olympics.

She was a three time world champion and also won a silver medal in the Rio Olympics. Now she's a commentator, mum, business woman and a keen runner!

Jess tells us what she gets from running now she's away from the elite environment. She's also enjoying padel tennis, weights and even hill runs.

Thommo reflects on London 2012 and the pressure on Jess as the poster girl from the Games and how she dealt with it and how she's moved on from that.

She talks to Paula about being a mum, getting her two kids in to sport and encouraging them to have the biggest wildest dream

There's also a reminder of a special live podcast recording and shakeout run in Durham on July 15th, a look at the week in athletics and more advice on running in the heat as the summer continues to have some very hot days.

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!
