Ever heard yourself or someone else saying 'I can't run'? Well this week's guest is here to tell you that you can. Amy Lane has written a book described as 'the must have running book for anyone who's experienced a moment of defeatism' and made that very excuse - I can't run. It's called 'I can run'. And not only has she written a book on the matter, she hosts her own running podcast Well Far. She's also the digital editor of Women's Health Magazine, and has an exciting addition to her family joining her on her runs at the moment. Yes, Amy's pregnant.

Amy talks all about fitness through pregnancy, when she became a runner, her change in mentality around running, gives up some top tips to engage the right muscles pre-run and of course takes on the Run Pod Quick fire Questions.

This week on RunPod in Lockdown, Jenni is joined by possibly one of the most hardcore, fittest people to have joined the RunPod run club, ex-Special Forces, SAS Who Dares Wins DS and 2 x Everest summiteer Jay Morton!

In this episode, he reveals what SAS training is really like, talks us through some hardcore endurance challenges he's had to face and continues to set himself, what it was like climbing Everest, and of course how running has been a common theme throughout his life, whilst in the forces and having left.

In this edition of RunPod, Jenni is joined by model, mental health advocate and this month's face of Women's Running Magazine, Shareefa J!

Shareefa joined another lockdown edition of RunPod from the comfort of her own home to chat to Jenni all about how running is helping her at this time, how running affects her mental health, how her marathon training was (and is) going, running the Vitality 10k in her pants, and she lets us in on what cryotherapy is really like. Listen in to find out!

Every April since 1981, the London Marathon has seen people pound the streets of the capital. However this year, on account of Coronavirus, the marathon has been postponed till the Autumn.

In this episode of RunPod, Jenni speaks with Race Director, Hugh Brasher about the task of changing dates, the challenges of an October London Marathon and what we can do on April 26th instead.

They talk about the new 2.6 Challenge which has been set up to help save the nation's charities. They also discuss the incredible sub-2 hour marathon achievement of Eliud Kipchoge and whether it might be possible to match that time in London.

A great, insightful listen that will absolutely encourage you to get your trainers on and do something active!

This week on another special episode of ‘RunPod in Lockdown’ we hear from someone who spends all day in self-isolation either running or cooking. Not a bad way to spend the time.

Chef Chris Baber is THE man when it comes to inspiring you with a nice post-run meal...he is best known for being that fella on the TV ads, as he is the chef and face of M&S, and in this episode he will whet your appetite for some seriously tasty grub.

So we will be talking running and eating - it’s like a dream combo for many of us…..perfect to listen to on your one run or walk of the day, or whilst at home to get some great ideas for what to cook up in the kitchen!

This week on RunPod, Jenni is joined by a man who has quite a tale to tell. Derek Redmond is an athlete who has excelled at many sports, one of which was sprinting. He went to the Olympics, twice, representing GB but alas both experiences did not go to plan. In this episode, we discuss how in sport, anything can happen and how you deal with the consequences.

As a motivational speaker, Derek also shares some great tips and food for thought if you want to run but you’re struggling to get yourself up and out the house....

An inspiring listen with a man who always gets back up again. Enjoy.

This week on RunPod, it’s all about staying active throughout this period of self-isolation and who better to turn to for guidance at this unsettling time than Olympic gold medal winner, Sally Gunnell OBE!

Now Sally might not compete on the track any more but she still loves running and the way it makes her feel. Whilst we are limited to going outside to exercise once a day, in this episode of RunPod, both Sally and Jenni champion running as your activity of choice and discuss the impact of the strict new regulations on exercising.

Sally also introduces the new ‘Sally Gunnell Run Club’, which she’s launched to help anyone get started out running at this time, to encourage everyone off the sofa and get out there, so that we can all benefit from fresh air, vitamin D, a healthier outlook and a fresh mindset.

Enjoy. Happy running

Disclaimer: This episode was recorded before the announcement that the London Marathon had been postponed.

We all know it's hard to run while you're laughing, so you'll have to forgive us for this episode. Helen and Ellie, a.k.a fellow podcasters, comedians, authors, mothers and runners, The Scummy Mummies join Jenni to chat all about their running journeys. They started running not too long ago, but have definitely been hooked, now boasting a full wardrobe of lycra and a running team to boot. The ladies chat about their scummiest running experiences, training for the marathon, the joys of getting out the house for a run, training on tour and grabbing a sneaky Gregg's Steak Bake mid-run. Enjoy!

This week Dick and Dom are in Da Studio. The TV double act have left the bungalow and joined the RunPod Run Club to chat all things running.

Their approach to running couldn’t be more different. One follows a programme and has all the gear, the other just runs and has no idea....

With this in mind, in this episode you’ll get tips of what to do...and perhaps some idea of what NOT to do when prepping for a race.

The boys are currently in marathon training mode-it’s the first time in 10 years they’ve entered the London Marathon and you can hear how they’re feeling ahead of the big day.

A truly fun, relatable episode that will have you laughing whilst you run. (just don’t mention BOGIES....) Enjoy.

RunPod is the run club of the podcast world. And, in this episode, Jenni catches up with someone who helped set up the run club of the YouTube world.

2 years ago Anna Harding quit her role as a radio journalist to turn her passion for pounding the pavement into her job. The most incredible thing of all, she’d only just started running the previous year.

This is a story of how running can truly change your life, for the better. Anna’s world has changed in the last 2 years and is now full of adventure, excitement, trainers and lycra. This is an inspiring listen about how someone decided to make a brave change to do what they love most and it has paid off.
