    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.

    This week on RunPod, Jenni is joined by broadcaster, actor, comedian and all-round national treasure Adil Ray OBE. You may know him as the creator and star of Citizen Khan, from his mornings on Good Morning Britain, or-most importantly-as Jenni’s friend and colleague over on Smooth Radio.

    Adil is a passionate runner who fully embraces the physical and mental benefits of getting out for a jog… even if he insists he’s the Mini Metro of running while Jenni is more of a Lexus. From pace to mindset, they compare their running styles, training quirks and what keeps them going on the tougher days.

    And of course, Adil has thoughts about Jenni earning her stripes as a true “14-ker”… but you’ll have to listen to hear exactly what he has to say.

    This episode is warm, funny, relatable and also a gentle reminder to people everywhere: never forget a poo bag.

    Lace up and enjoy!
