Rolling, Not Scrolling: Community, Camaraderie and Durham Mums on the Run

About

Paula Radcliffe and Chris 'Thommo' Thompson are here for the summer inviting you to join our club as part of our 'Here comes The Run' series. No matter what you're training for, we are here to support you every step of the way! 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.

Welcome to Week 12 of "Here Comes The Run" and we've got a special pod from on stage at Durham's wonderful Gala Theatre. Paula and Thommo welcome two incredible guests: North East England Mayor Kim McGuinness and Kate Macpherson, the founder of Durham Mums on the Run. The conversation celebrates the region's unmatched passion for sport, counting down to the Great North Run and hints at an ambitious idea for a future Olympic bid across the North. Kate shares the inspiring 12-year journey of her running community, showcasing how the group provides essential camaraderie, support for postnatal safety, and an inclusive space for women of all ages and backgrounds to stay active. From encouraging families to drop their phones and connect through sport to sharing a moving story of overcoming postnatal depression through the "power of the pack," this episode captures how running builds resilience and community. There's also chat about a thrilling Monaco Diamond League predictions for the upcoming London Diamond League - see if they got them right! They certainly didn't get the football right!
