    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 back to Paula's Run Club! In week nine of "Here Comes The Run", Paula & Thommo explore the fascinating intersections between elite running and Formula 1. They are joined by Alan Permane, the Team Principal of Racing Bulls and an avid runner who has completed the London Marathon. The conversation with Alan delves into the technical parallels between F1 and athletics. He talks about driver preparation, covering everything from core and neck strength to the use of ice baths for recovery in hot climates like Singapore. He also shares his personal race-day routine, which involves a morning run to manage stress and clear his head before heading to the track. In this hot summer, Paula and Thommo offer essential advice for summer running safety, highlighting the importance of hydration and electrolytes in the heat, noting that children often struggle to communicate when they are thirsty or hungry during activity. There's also announcement for a special live podcast recording and shakeout run in Durham on July 15th and a look at the British Championships PLUS 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.
