The Extra Mile: John McAvoy's advice & RunPod run club messages!

We have a crammed Extra Mile for you... there’s a bonus chat with record-breaking athlete and author John McAvoy, whose full RunPod episode is also out now!

Then we have the running rundown, starting with World Athletics’ new Moment of the Year award. The finalists are Sebastian Sawe’s sub-two-hour marathon at the London Marathon, Josh Kerr’s mile world record of 3:42.66 at the London Diamond League, and Botswana’s men’s 4x400m relay team winning on home soil at the World Athletics Relays. Which one should win? There’s also big news for spring runners. A new half marathon, Run South London, launches on Sunday 14 March 2027, on a fully closed-road course in Merton.

And last but not least, the Run Pod Run Club shares messages from our wonderful listeners, including a tip about running in Naples and a footballing hamstring injury.

A brand new RunPod episode is out on Friday.
