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.

This week on RunPod, Jenni is joined by the brilliant actress Sian Brooke - star of Trying on Apple TV+ and Blue Lights on the BBC.

Jenni and Sian first met years ago on ITV's This Morning, and now they’re reunited to chat about one of Sian’s quiet lifelong passions: running.

Although she’s been lacing up since she was 17, Sian never quite considered herself “a runner” - she jokingly calls herself a shuffler. But that steady shuffle has carried her through so many moments in life, becoming her solace, her moving meditation, and her way of finding calm amidst busy days.

In this episode, Jenni and Sian dive into the profound impact running has on their everyday lives, how to squeeze a run into even the busiest schedule, and the thrill (and challenge!) of half marathons.

Whether you’re a gazelle, a casual jogger, or a fellow shuffler, this conversation will remind you why running is about so much more than miles on the clock.

The Extra Mile! Why Autumn Might Be The Best Time To Run

This week on RunPod, Jenni is joined by Jazz Saunders - best known for being part of the Made in Chelsea set, but now making a name in the running community.

Although she only took up running last November, running has completely transformed Jazz's life. She’s already conquered the London Marathon, discovered the unbeatable joy of runner’s high, and even launched her own run club on Instagram to inspire others.

In the studio, Jazz arrives wearing her signature 222 angel number necklace - a symbol she also has is her Instagram description. It's a number that represents balance, harmony, and trusting in your process - which perfectly mirrors what running teaches: finding your pace, staying positive when your run gets challenging, and believing every step brings strength, connection, and clarity. How perfect!

Not every run is about chasing a personal best. Sometimes it’s about slowing down, breathing deep, and letting your body recharge while still moving forward. 

In this episode of 'RunPod - The Extra Mile!' Jenni explores the art of the recovery run-those easy miles that give your mind and muscles a chance to reset. 

Think of it as running’s version of active rest: gentle, steady, and surprisingly powerful. 

Lace up, take it easy, and let’s enjoy the miles that remind us why we run.

The Extra Mile! What Is A Recovery Run? And When Should You Do It?

This week on RunPod, Jenni is live at the finish line of the Great North Run.

The world's biggest half marathon took place on Sunday in Newcastle and Jenni was on the start-line. She ran the race alongside this week's guest, former footballer, reality star, adventurer, world record holder and runner, Ashley Cain. Ashley sets himself challenges in memory of his beautiful daughter Azaylia, who heartbreakingly lost her battle with cancer at just 8 months old.

Ashley joins Jenni on the Brooks Live stage at the AJ Bell Great North Run finish line to discuss the highs, lows and hills of the half marathon! They also chat about why running is his therapy and how it helps him deal with his grief. Ashley is an inspiration to so many people and listening to this episode you will quickly realise why. He encourages all of us to be active and he explains how running has truly transformed his life.

This is an emotional yet inspirational episode with a man who is still raw after losing his baby girl, yet full of positivity knowing she is watching down on him. It also highlights the incredible power of something as simple as running.

Thank you so much to the team at Great Run events, and to Brooks for letting us record this episode on the Brooks Live Stage. Also if you would like to be at the start line of this amazing race next year, the ballot is open for the 2026 AJ Bell Great North Run....but be quick, it is only open until midnight on Sunday 14th September.

60,000 runners ran the race in 2025, you could be one of them in 2026 and it will be extra special as it will be the 45th staging of the event. Sign up now here:
