If you can tempt yourself out from under the duvet, there’s something surprisingly magical about winter morning runs.

In this mini episode of RunPod 'The Extra Mile', Jenni shares the unexpected joys, hidden boosts, and quiet beauty of heading out early when the world is cold, calm, and still.

Lace up and discover why braving the chill might just become your new favourite habit.

Today on RunPod, Jenni is joined by fellow Scot and Great British Bake Off royalty, Peter Sawkins.

Peter won GBBO in 2020 - and remains the youngest champion the show has ever had. Famous for his shortbread, flapjacks and all kinds of sponge-y, buttery, delicious creations… turns out, he’s also a genuinely brilliant runner.

Jenni and Peter chat about their love of running, the joy of sport (badminton included!), and why lacing up your trainers is the perfect excuse to enjoy more cake.

Because honestly… that’s what we’re all thinking: if you run, you get to eat more treats.

Peter just proves it.

If you love baking OR running - or the sweet spot right in between - this episode is an absolute joy. Tune in! 🍰🧁🏃‍♂️

This week on RunPod, Jenni meets Sam King - an incredible man who swapped late-night gaming sessions for long-distance runs with a mission that goes far beyond the finish line.

When Sam’s mum suffered a severe brain injury, his world changed overnight. Out of that heartbreak came an incredible goal: to take on an ultramarathon challenge in her honour and raise funds for Headway UK, the charity supporting people affected by brain injury. 74 Ultra Marathons in 74 Days!

In this conversation, Sam shares how he went from gaming chair to training shoes, what drives him through the toughest miles, and how running became both therapy and tribute.

His journey is a raw, uplifting reminder of how determination and love can turn pain into purpose.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just someone searching for motivation to take the next step - Sam’s story will leave you inspired to run your own race, whatever that looks like.

In this bonus Extra Mile, we dive into why autumn might actually be the perfect season to run for your head as much as your heart.

Autumn is transition. It’s shedding. It’s change. And reconnecting with the outdoors at this time of year can feel like literal therapy.

Carving out just 20–30 minutes for a run is a powerful mental reset - especially when you slow down, look up, breathe in the crisp air and tune into the colour, the sound, the sensation… and yes, nothing beats crunchy leaves underfoot.

Today, Jenni sits down with a man who lives at the crossroads of elite performance + real life food.

He genuinely believes nothing hits the dopamine switch like going for a run - and cooking for these world-class players has shown him first hand how food drives performance, mood, recovery and consistency.
