Travels with my Toaster: Paula's Run Club meets Chef Paul Ainsworth

About

Paula Radcliffe and Chris 'Thommo' Thompson are back with their Road to London Marathon - join our club as we help you to navigate your journey to one of the greatest marathons in the world. 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.

We're on the road in this episode of Here Comes the Run as Paula and Thommo travel to Padstow to meet Michelin-starred chef and dedicated athlete Paul Ainsworth. After a scenic 8K run along the Camel Trail, the team heads into the kitchen at Number Six where Paul demonstrates how to prepare "Gypsy Eggs," a perfect high-protein post-run recovery dish featuring spicy chorizo, cannellini beans, and selenium-enriched super eggs. Paul shares his personal journey from professional chef to sub-four-hour marathon runner and aspiring Iron Man, offering unique insights into how he balances a high-pressure career and family life with intense athletic training. The discussion delves into the intersection of culinary excellence and sport, highlighting Paul's "extra mile" philosophy in both the kitchen and his training. From essential kitchen kit like high-quality wooden chopping boards to his specific race-day routines—including traveling with his own toaster—Paul provides a wealth of practical tips for listeners and viewers.
