RunPod is the podcast where runners unite - all of them, the fast, the slow, the gazelles, the terminators, the short distance, the long distance, the sprinters, the ultra marathoners…. The motivated and the lazy!

Yup, if you run, you are a runner…even if you struggle to get out the door from time to time. This week’s guest is perfect to chat about all thing motivational, she calls herself lazy girl running yet she is far from lazy. Laura Fountain is a running coach and personal trainer but more than that, she just loves running.

A brilliant episode full of tips, dos, don’ts and plenty of reasons why you should get the trainers on and get out for a run. Enjoy.

In this episode, Dr. Hilary discusses the benefits of exercise as well as his own reasons to run and by doing so will only motivate you to get up and give it a go.

There are excellent tips for new - and more experienced - runners, plenty of motivational chat to get you up and out there and finally, Hilary reveals why he has been banned from one of the greatest sporting events in the world!

Sophie Power joins the Run Pod Run Club this week and she and Jenni discuss running an ultra only three months post-partum, how integral running is for her mental health, prioritising her run, showing her children and especially her daughter that women can lead fit, healthy active lifestyles, how we can work with races to entice more women to them, ultra running and finding power from motherhood to get through the toughest challenges.

Now if you thought running one marathon was a big achievement…what about running 106 marathons is 106 days? Well that is the challenge today’s guests have set themselves. Fay Cunningham and Emma Petrie from Match My Workout join Jenni on Runpod.

They chat all about the challenge, the highs, the lows, the feet, the food, the landscape, the wildlife, what they’ve loved, what they’ve been listening to (we’ll give you a hint, they’ll be listening to this!), and why they love to run.

This week joining the Runpod Run Club is actress, broadcaster and tv presenter Caroline Quentin.

Caroline recently fell ill with Covid and is slowly returning to the joys of running, and loving it.

Jenni and Caroline chat about discovering running in her late 50s, the Couch 2 5K process, the realisation that running isn’t just for fitness, it can play a big part in your headspace and mental health, the joy of being able to take running with you no matter where you are, her changing perceptions of runners and running, what her first ever run was like and that runners nod we all use when we spot one another.

This week RunPod goes on the road. Jenni thought it was about time to record an episode in front of a live audience and so took the opportunity to do so at the National Running Show.

A great venue filled with a ton of running enthusiasts and also she is joined by a couple of truly wonderful superstar guests: Paula Radcliffe and Jo Pavey join Jenni on stage.

A great episode filled with top tips and answering many of your questions. Enjoy. Happy running. X
