This week, Jenni is joined by Scotland’s most decorated track and field athlete of all time. Yes, it’s Eilidh Doyle.

She’s seen the podium at European, World, Commonwealth and Olympic levels, and not only dominates in 400m, but 400m hurdles too.

Eilidh is one of the few thanking lockdown for an extra year in preparation for the Olympics after giving birth a year ago.

In this episode of RunPod, Eilidh and Jenni chat about how pregnancy and birth affected her running and training afterwards, her hopes to add the the medal collection in Tokyo, the very impressive just 3 second addition to her 400m time that hurdles adds, plus a ton of helpful tips for hill running and new runners alike.

A fantastic listen with another incredible athlete who we’ll all be cheering on in 2021.

This week RunPod recruits its first fighter pilot as we welcome Squadron Leader Martin Pert to the RunPod run club.

Martin has been in the RAF for over 20 years and has just finished his 3 year tour of duty leading the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, also known as the Red Arrows.

In this episide we get an insight into life as a Red Arrow pilot and why fitness is so crucial in this role.

Martin is a passionate runner and he shares stories of some of the incredible places he has been able to run and reveals which races he would love to tick off the bucket list.

It is a fascinating episode that truly is a must-listen and will absolutely urge you to get your trainers on and get out there.

This week on RunPod, Jenni is joined by Dr Zoe Williams, NHS GP, regular on ITV’s This Morning and of course, a runner.

They talk all things running and at this time of COVID-19, get the lowdown on the impact of Coronavirus on your fitness.

They also discuss running whilst pregnant as Zoe has recently revealed that she’s expecting her first baby. She explains what you can and can’t do when preparing for motherhood.

What’s more, did you know Zoe was a Gladiator? Yup, she was a regular on the show battling contestants as Amazon. She talks Gladiator fitness and reveals secrets about the show.

So, in my best voiceover voice RunPod run club ready?

Gladiator ready?

3, 2, 1, listen! Happy running. X

Joining the RunPod run club this week is someone who is having a great year so far. She’s just run her first ever sub 4 minute 1500m indoors and nabbed herself a British Record in the process. She’s one to watch for sure. Not only that, alongside her intense training she also managed to graduate from uni and qualify as a vet. There is no end to her talents! It is 1500m European and World medallist, Dr Laura Muir.

Laura talks all things running, training and shares her top tips on how you can run that first 5k, or how you might improve on it.

We discuss juggling studies with training, nerves at the start line and how it felt to break Dame Kelly Holmes’ Olympic gold winning record.

A truly great listen with a brilliant athlete who we’ll all be cheering on in 2021.

In the RunPod Run Club we know how good running makes us feel, but a bonus is feeling like we look good whilst we run. And this week joining Jenni on Runpod is a man who knows a thing or two about fashion. It’s fashion designer (and nifty runner), Henry Holland.

Henry and Jenni chat being overly competitive with himself, using running as a form of meditation, marathon faux pas, the spectrum of fitness throughout the various lockdowns, and of course fashion. It turns out not even designers get it right when going for that first run.

A hugely enjoyable listen, and you may get a bit of inspiration to jazz up your running gear too!

Joining the RunPod Run Club in this episode is someone who has been working relentlessly, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, since March 2020.

Olivia Tompkins is a nurse working for the NHS in intensive care, where her patients have, or are recovering from, Covid-19.

It’s a high pressure job which requires great strength of mind so after a long shift, you’d think it’s time to head home and relax.....not for this nurse: Livvy turns to running and CrossFit.

Jenni and Livvy discuss a day in the life of an NHS intensive care nurse, how challenging it is, how on earth she has the energy to work out and why actually it’s so important to her to go running and lift some weights.

It’s a fascinating, moving and emotional insight into life at the hospital and a deeply inspiring, motivating and humbling account of Livvy’s day to day experiences.

A must-listen which will make you realise you truly have no excuse to get out of that run yourself.

There have been a lot of new runners out pounding the pavement in the last year and the guest on this episode of RunPod is one of them. Out the blue she felt the urge to go for her very first run and quite frankly has never looked back.

Singer Lucy Spraggan now loves running. Along with cross fit and an incredibly committed workout regimen, she's lost weight, become incredibly fit (she even loves running up hills!) and has shared it all with her followers on social media.

Lucy and Jenni chat never wanting to run again after her first run, to running 10k after three weeks, her song 'Run', sharing her weight loss and boob job online, and her huge desire to do a marathon.

This week on RunPod, Jenni is joined by someone who wasn’t content with his multiple Ironman victories and world duathlon championship wins, he wanted to leave an even greater impression on the running world.

After retiring from competing on a professional level, Olivier Bernhard devoted himself to creating the ultimate running shoe. One that would give the perfect running sensation.

He began by cutting up garden hoses at home and gluing them to the soles of his shoes, this was the start of the On Running Revolution.

Together with his fellow co-founders, they officially founded On Running in 2010 and in the years which have followed, their game has picked up a pace.

You’ll see their shoes on athletes on the world stage, they’ve been on podiums, broken records and they’re worn by millions of regular runners round the globe.

In this episode, Olivier talks about the brand, its growth, which On trainers are right for you and their new sustainable initiative which will be the first in the trainer world.

It’s a thoroughly interesting conversation with someone who has turned their passion for running in the Swiss Alps into a business, which has become a major player in the fitness world.

This week joining the Runpod Run Club is a Lord. Yes, the first Lord of Runpod, and a man who needs no introduction. In 1980 he held all four middle distance World Records simultaneously and went on two be a two time Olympic Gold Medal Winner, part of the International Olympic Committee and President of World Athletics, it is of course, Seb Coe!

Seb chats to Jenni about his incredible career, starting out at the Hallamshire Harriers and working his way to Gold at not one but two very unique Olympic games, how his family will notice if he doesn't run, and what the odds are on Team GB getting more that 67 medals at the Olympics this year.

An incredible listen!

Jenni is joined by Hannah Beecham, the founder of RED January.

A brilliant initiative that has one mission - to get the nation active in the first month of the year.

It's been a challenging time for us all and perhaps RED January is exactly what you need to start 2021 with a purpose, with a positive attitude and feeling fantastic.

It's a thoroughly motivating listen... by the end of the episode, you will be desperate to sign up and get yourself out running.
