Ricky Wilson of the Kaiser Chiefs - a love of running....his own way! | Paula's Run Club

About

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. 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 Steve Cram will also be joined by some of the stars from sport and entertainment who will tell you why they run and what motives them whether it be for fun, health or mental wellbeing.

Today's guest is Ricky Wilson, the front man of the Kaiser Chiefs. It's a lot of fun as he talks about his love of running and his disastrous marathon. Ricky tells Paula and Thommo about his London marathon experience - he finished the course in over 5 days...after collapsing at mile 24 on the day of the event. Now Ricky runs for himself, every day, to give himself headspace...but it's also inspired some lyrics. He reveals he likes to run before he performs on stage and he loves the feeling it gives him. Ricky also loves running whilst touring with the Kaiser Chiefs and happily wandering off track in foreign cities. We've got the Honours Board and our sponsor for it is HIGH5 – the sports nutrition specialists helping people get the most out of their training and races.
