Paula's Run Club

Paula and Thommo bring you a special Christmas Edition. They talk about running on Christmas Day - when do they run and why? And they share how they spend Christmas and how much they eat! Thommo insists on doing Christmas cracker jokes...which he loves. There's a reflection on 2025 and some of the people that have been on the podcast...like Chelsea Clinton, Dr Steve Peters, Jake Wightman, Brendan Foster and Julia Paternain live from Tokyo. There's excitement as Paula and Thommo exchange presents during the podcast. And we want to thank you for all your support and encouragement with a shout out to those who came and ran with Paula on the shakeouts. Happy Christmas! We love to hear from you!

Paula and Thommo's pre-Christmas shakeout answers your running questions and reveals a quirky injury Paula picked up just before a world record breaking run. There's a fair amount of marathon talk, including dealing with the mental aspect of setbacks and decline. One of the community is pondering running the Manchester and London marathons, which are within a week of each other. Family and friends are telling him not to do it, but Paula and Thommo put an alternative view. There's also a question about breathing exercises and using a chest heart rate monitor.

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.

It's been great to have Innes FitzGerald chat with us ahead of the European Cross Country Championships.

Innes talks about her rise from finishing way back in the pack(176th) in the English Schools Championships to where she is now. Her career has moved quickly under the guidance of Jo and Gavin Pavey. She's had a breakthrough season posting a qualifying time in the London Diamond League to make the GB team for the World championships in Tokyo.
