This week we're talking about running and Women's health with expert and gynecologist Dr Nicola Tempest. She'll be dispelling myths about running during periods and talking about what's 'normal'.

We asked lots of questions including tips for young girls starting menstruation, changes to their bodies and what it means to have a 'regular' cycle. Lots of advice about supplements, running in pregnancy and will a period stop you getting a PB?!

This week we’re joined by javelin legend and Paula’s BBC TV Co-commentator Steve Backley. A medalist at World, Olympics, Commonwealth and European Championships, Steve comes from a family of runners and despite describing himself as a ‘failed runner’ he loves running and is a Park Run regular. 

He’s got loads of amazing stories from meeting Steve Ovett as a kid, taking on Matt Pinsent and Steve Redgrave at Golf, getting stung by a jellyfish while out running and how a run on a deserted beach led to an amazing - but very random -  family reunion. 

Plus we've got news of a Special Shakeout in New York and our first listener Guinness World Record.

This week's title sounds like a horror film but don't worry, it's not a spooky Halloween themed episode!

Laura talks about dealing with nerves and her tricks for entering the dark places of running pain! Plus, can she see herself ever fancying running a marathon? We talk about how there must be something in the Scottish water with all their athletics success, whether Femke Bol will succeed as she changes distances and running marathons with your dog!

What a guest we have this week as Jake Wightman joins Paula and Thommo.

After coming back from years of injury heartache to take a triumphant 1500m silver at the World Championships in Tokyo, Jake is on top form with Paula & Thommo. Jake is incredibly open about his career so far, from injury turmoil to his split with his Dad as his coach after more than 15 years together. Then there's him proposing to his girlfriend when she agreed to move with him to Manchester. She's a keeper! Jake's chat is funny, honest and incredibly insightful. We hope you'll enjoy it too.

We're excited to announce that we have a new sponsor for Paula’s Run Club Honours Board: HIGH5 – the sports nutrition specialists helping people get the most out of their training and races.
