Great North Run Special Part 1

About

Paula Radcliffe is regarded as one of the greatest female distance runners of our generation. The multiple medal winner and world record holder - including the women’s marathon record for 17 years - has continued her passion for running since retiring in 2015. Chris Thompson is one of the UK's most prolific distance runners for over 25 years. Every Monday, we will bring 45 mins of high energy entertainment with a community spirit. An inclusive, unintimidating experience where people will learn from each other, helping understand quirks and developing coping mechanisms for all levels. Each week Paula and Chris will discuss many different aspects of running from nutrition to hydration from motivation to training tips, all based around a running community. They will address the anxieties and uncertainties we all feel surrounding running. Paula and Chris will bring you some of the biggest names that also want to be part of their running community. Regular guests like Steve Peters, Harry Judd and Steve Cram will also be joined by some of the stars from sport and entertainment who will tell you why they run and what motives them whether it be for fun, health or mental wellbeing.

We have THREE special guests for you this week as Paula and Thommo catch up with Great North Run Founding members Brendan Foster and John Caine plus North East Mayor Kim McGuiness tells us about why it's so special running here. Listen for so many great stories from behind the scenes at the run and it's origins. We based ourselves up there so make sure to WATCH on YouTube to see our amazing view from Brendan's office! We LOVE hearing from you so comment, get in touch with the club to ask any questions on tips for running, marathons, half marathons, 5k, 10k, or just a jog.
