    About

    Paula Radcliffe and Chris 'Thommo' Thompson are back with their Road to London Marathon - join our club as we help you to navigate your journey to one of the greatest marathons in the world. 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. On a Thursday we have The Shakeout where we answer audience questions. 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 Jill Scott will also be joined by some of the stars from sport and entertainment who will tell you why they run and what motivates them whether it be for fun, health or mental wellbeing.

    Our road to London continues with some brilliant advice from Georgie Bruinvels who's an expert in sports physiology. She's got plenty of tips on nutrition, supplements, boosting our immune systems and how to know we're doing the right things. There's also a good discussion about using creatine. She talks to Paula and Thommo about gut health and probiotics and there's a discussion about pelvic floor exercises for women and men...something new for Thommo! And then there's HRV. Heart Rate Variability - what is it and what does it mean? We welcome to the podcast BBC Newsreader Sophie Raworth to talk about her preparation for London - she'll be logging her journey with us for the next 3 months. Her pedigree is top notch having run the leading marathons all over the world. We're also excited to announce we'll be working with Wild Nutrition over the build-up to the London Marathon with some great nutrition advice.  Wild Nutrition are giving Paula’s Run Club listeners an exclusive 50% off for three months and a free personal consultation with a nutritional therapist.
