Welcome to RunPod, the weekly run club you can join simply by listening. In this series Jenni Falconer welcomes special guests who share that passion for running. Together they’ll discuss the challenge, reward and sometimes obsession of pounding the pavement whilst asking what drives us to run, why some catch the bug more than others, and how it can transform the lives of those who do it. Along the way, you'll hear top training tips, monumental mistakes and some inspirational stories. So, whether you’re a seasoned marathoner, treadmill trainer, fitness guru or simply putting off that Sunday jog, RunPod is here for you.

The Extra Mile REVAMP: GNR's Sir Brendan & more!

Chris Bennett is Nike Running's global head coach and one of the most recognisable voices in the sport... the man who has talked countless runners through first miles, hard miles and the miles they nearly didn't start.

This week he joins Jenni Falconer to talk about the history of one of the worlds largest sports brands, his own running story, the coaching philosophy behind it, and his book 'This Is About Running. This Is Not About Running.'

Expect real, usable coaching from someone who does it for a living: how to build a running habit that survives real life, what actually matters in training, how to think differently about the runs that don't go to plan, and why the benefits of lacing up so often have very little to do with running at all.

Whether you're chasing a PB, a first 5K or just a bit of headspace, this one will change how you approach your next run!
