    About

    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.
