    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.

    Jenni explores his remarkable journey, from his Olympic experiences, to the mindset and running tips required to keep pushing the limits. Along the way, Chris shares his passion for running, reflects on the amazing things life can bring, and talks about his latest podcast venture with fellow running icon Paula Radcliffe.
