    Jonny Brownlee: Iconic Team GB triathlete on incredible career after RETIREMENT

    08/10/2026 | 41 mins.
    Olympic medallist. Triathlon legend. One half of arguably the most iconic siblings in the sport. We're joined by Jonny Brownlee, just a matter of days after he's hung up his boots for good!
    Over a career that spanned more than a decade, Jonny won Olympic bronze at London 2012 and Olympic silver at Rio 2016, and he was part of Great Britain's gold-medal mixed relay team at Tokyo 2020. He's a multiple World Series podium finisher who stood beside his brother Alistair at the top of the sport for years.
    And of course, we have to talk about that moment. At the 2016 World Series Grand Final in Cozumel, Mexico, Jonny hit the wall in the closing stages, and Alistair stopped to haul him towards the finish line. It became one of the most replayed images in endurance sport.
    But what is retirement looking like for someone who has achieved so much? and how does fatherhood come into it?

    01/10/2026 | 42 mins.
    Hal Robson-Kanu had a long career playing at the very top of professional football. Promotions, the Premier League and scoring arguably the most important goal in the history of Welsh football! A Cruyff turn finish that saw 'minnows' Wales beat 'golden generation' Belgium 3-1 and make it to the Semi-Finals of the 2026 Euros.
    But was it all down to a perfected blend of natural remedies? After two career ending injuries early on in his career, he claims a health juice shot created by his Dad helped fight inflammation and make movement possible.
    He has since gone on to make it available to the public through The Turmeric Co. and continues to champion it's success.
    In an episode about recovery and doing what's best for our bodies with natural food sources, Hal gives us insight on how we can all access the right recovery with our running.

    24/09/2026 | 44 mins.
    Ultra-marathon runner Rob Pope, better known as "the real-life Forrest Gump" is back with more tales of incredible feats of human endurance... and even a near death experience.
    In this episode, Rob talks about his latest challenge: a 569-mile, 14-day coast-to-coast run across Britain for Nestlé's Taste Trail, which raised over 175,000 meals for The Felix Project. The man who ran Forrest Gump's famous USA journey, 5 times over - now tells us how running across the UK compares! KitKat factories, perils of Scottish roads, rural beauty and more.
    He also tells Jenni about running 2,000km across Australia alongside AC/DC's tour dates — where he met the band, who turned out to be huge supporters of his challenge, and had a terrifyingly close call with one of the world's deadliest snakes along the way.
    Expect blisters, near-death wildlife encounters and a run-in with rock royalty... all in a day's work for Rob.
