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.

In this empowering episode of RunPod, Jenni and Kate dive into what it really means to stay active through midlife.

Made in Chelsea’s Jazz Saunders knows the power of a great playlist - and a great run! 

Having only taken up running a year ago, she’s already ticked off a marathon and is gearing up for her next half.

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:

You’ll know him best as Ian Beale from EastEnders, but this week Adam Woodyatt trades Albert Square for Leicester Square with Jenni in the RunPod Studio!

Jenni has been begging Adam to come on the show for ages - and finally, she’s got him! From coming to her rescue at the London Marathon, to sharing his passion for putting one foot in front of the other, Adam proves that running is a true love of his life. As he says:

“It’s not about running a marathon, it’s about doing a marathon.”

In this episode, Adam chats about how running keeps him grounded, what keeps him motivated, and even imagines what it would be like if the EastEnders writers gave Ian Beale his very own marathon storyline - just don’t give him another wife!

Whether you’re an EastEnders fan, a seasoned runner, or just looking for a bit of inspiration to lace up your trainers, this episode will keep you smiling all the way around the block.

Today Jenni is joined by singer, actress and "running challenge guru" Suzanne Shaw! 

Suzi started running in a bid to improve her mental health and lifestyle, and now she considers this form of exercise to be her idea of luxury.

Next week Suzanne is doing 4 Ultra Marathons in 4 days to raise money for the amazing charity 'Mind'. The '4' in 4 days is to represent that 1 in 4 people suffer with their mental health in some kind of way, and we think what she's doing is amazing.
