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 is getting a makeover! Even more of the RunPod content you love, condensed down into a brand new episode.

This week we take a look at the upcoming iconic Great North Run on it's 45th birthday, as we speak to none other than it's founder, Sir Brendan Foster! He takes us on a journey from the race's visionary beginnings to becoming one of the worlds biggest half marathons. He even updates us on the plans to pay tribute to the late, great Kevin Keegan.

We also continue our Q&A with last weeks guest, Nike Running Global Head Coach Chris Bennett - with questions asked by you!

Plus all that and more, as we bring you up to date racing news and hear from you, the RunPod Run Club!

Don't forget, we want to hear your voice notes before, during or after your runs.

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!

The Extra Mile! Running through seasons...

Rose Harvey is one of British athletics' most extraordinary stories... a former corporate lawyer made redundant during Covid who took up marathon running seriously for the first time at 28. One decision made over a beer in the pub changed her life!

Within a year she had qualified for her first England team, became British Champion at the 2022 London Marathon, represented GB at the World Championships, and running 2:23:21 at Chicago in 2023 to put herself sixth on the British all-time list. 

She then competed at the Paris Olympics with a stress fracture in her femur, finishing the race before scans revealed she'd run on a broken thigh bone. 

Listen for an incredible story of transformation!
