How does Alcohol affect your running? Here to tell us how is co-founder of One Year No Beer, Podcaster and Author of the Best Seller '28 Day Alcohol Free Challenge' - Ruari Fairbairns.Ruari is a former oil broker from London, who listened to the whisper in his mind that said the amount of alcohol he was consuming was holding him back.In the UK many people still find it difficult to cut back on drinks because of the social aspect. We still live in a society that says "Alcohol is amazing!" "It's so much fun!" "Come to the pub!" despite us knowing the damaging effects on our health.The reality is, alcohol makes us feel anxious, tired and sluggish and stops us from being the optimal versions of ourselves.Ruari has the occasional glass, so he's not here to preach "never drink again", but he will leave you with things to think about...especially when it comes to feeling good enough to go for a run.

Today’s guest John McAvoy is a Nike Athlete and a motivational speaker who inspires young people to live a good, and honest life. However, John’s story is probably unlike anything you’ve heard before…When John was young, he grew up in an environment of organised crime, leading to a life of armed robbery, and 10 years behind bars at a high-security prison.His “role models” back in the day, led him to believe being behind bars was “just a way of life”. Everything was about money, the acquisition of wealth and disobeying authority. They told him that if he went to prison and started behaving, then the system had got him.However, whilst in his cell John decided he wanted to feel like a proper human being so he decided to spend his days educating himself by reading books from the prison librarian, and started exercising one push-up at a time…John’s new exercise regime led him to break both British and World records whilst in prison, and in turn he's found redemption through the power of sport.He now lives in the Alps and has forged a life as an endurance athlete and speaker who is committed to using his story of rehabilitation to help and inspire others to change their lives for the better.In his own words, John feels completely detached from who he was in the past, and that is in itself, is a very moving story."The important thing is not what one is born with but what use one makes of that equipment" - AdlerLooking to buy a RunPod t-shirt?: Go here: Linktr.ee/runpod

It’s the one time he really lives in the NOW, and if he could live his whole life how he feels when he’s running he certainly would want to. When he’s not smashing his running PB he’s smashing the stigma attached to HIV along with the amazing people behind Tackle HIV. In fact this episode is being recorded in New York, just a day before Gareth jumps on the microphone to do a TED Talk about Stigma and Shame - something Gareth has had to learn to navigate. You’re about to learn that imagination is key when it comes to running, and also there’s a lot of good in the running community! HIV is nothing to be ashamed of To show some love, and get more information about 'Tackle HIV’ go to: tacklehiv.org Why not support them at the Cardiff Half Marathon 2022?

When she’s not pulling off a stellar performance on Coronation Street, you can find Jenny Bradley aka Sally Ann Matthews pulling on her activewear and going for a run. Weeks before her 50th Birthday Sal decided that it was time to take fitness a bit more seriously and started doing couch to 5k. It started with a few walking breaks but then before she knew it she could run for 50 minutes without stopping! Sal loved running so much that she made it her goal to do 50 5ks in her 50th year – an impressive challenge her social media following has got behind. Since her love for running started, Sal’s discovered: park runs, a good routine (that factors in washing her hair) and some sage advice that will take you those next steps forwards: push on, relax your shoulders and use your legs! < you heard the lady!

Looking for a pep in your step? You’re in luck! Today's guest on RunPod is Geoff Wightman – a 2.13.17 marathon runner, commentator, and coach to his son Jake Wightman (who is the second fastest Briton EVER at 1500m)! Geoff has been running since he was in Cubs, it’s how he met his wife, what all his family does, and in his words is “the best, simplest, nicest and healthiest activity you can do”. So should you carry water when you’re running? When should you have some rest? What’s the optimum amount of sleep you need before a race? And are Energy Gels actually a good idea? These are the kind of questions we’re asking so you’re prepared for any Race Day or run you’re going on. As Geoff says, “98% of starters do make it to the finish” – so ignore your doubts, get out there, and just concentrate on having good form! You can do it!

In this episode, you’re going to be put through your paces, with special guest Akram Shalabi! Akram’s running story is a brilliant one, and the phrase “he’s a natural” definitely springs to mind. Akram hadn’t done much running since he was younger (maybe 100 and 400-metre sprints), but when a friend had to drop out of the Berlin Marathon he took their place and did the whole thing in 3 hrs 10 minutes with NO TRAINING WHATSOEVER. In the last 7 years Akram has gone on to do 100 marathons, and now sacrifices his race for other people because he is officially known as a ‘pacer’ - one of those lovely people who keep you motivated, and run beside you until you reach the finish line! So if you’re looking for the motivation to push yourself to the end of your run today, Akram is your guy.

Mark Heyes, Jenni’s long-time friend and the glue of ITV’s Lorraine is our amazing guest of the week. If anyone is going to bring you your daily dose of positive energy, and recommend you some nice athleisure, it’s him. Mark has come a long way since faking sick notes in PE, and now really enjoys running NAKED (not that kind of naked) at 6 am along the River Thames. He’s even into Marathons… but that may be because his inner Mariah Carey loves people screaming his name. If you’re looking to train your abs, as well as your legs - you’ll love this one. Mark is hilarious!

On RunPod we discuss the feelgood of running, why we do it, how it makes us feel and what it is that keeps bringing us back for more. We all have our own reasons to run and in this episode, Jenni is joined by someone who is quite simply incredible, inspiring and an absolute action man. Colour Sergeant Brian Wood MC is a former soldier in the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment. During his service in Iraq he led the first bayonet charge in 25 years and for his gallantry, he was awarded the Military Cross. Woody now has set himself a new mission, to help drive and motivate others, to encourage us all to step outside our comfort zone by running a bit further or faster and by pushing ourselves a little more than we’re used to. If you need a boost to get you out the door and on that run today, then this is absolutely the episode you need. Happy running.

Today’s guest is the well-loved Helen Thorn - comedian, author and fellow podcaster, widely known for her hilarious take on parenting and being single in mid-life. But is she hilarious when it comes to chatting about running? The fast answer is YES! Sometimes the catalyst for change is finding out your husband of 22 years has been having an affair behind your back… At the time it blows up your life, but then one day you wake up, put on your running shoes, and realise life feels better than before. Sure, your boobs may deflate (listen to the episode), but you have grit like no other, and the sudden body confidence to pull off shorter clothes on Instagram. That’s Helen’s story anyway, and she’s here to tell you that the mental and physical health benefits of running have positively changed her life. PS. If you need a formal excuse to eat more carbs you should listen now.

For runners, the basics are get up, get out, get running. If only every sport was as straightforward. Take golf for instance, it’s a tad more complex…If it’s left - it’s a hook, If it’s right - it’s a slice, and if it’s straight - it’s a miracle! This is probably the reason why the guest in this episode of RunPod is grateful to have running as his escapism….Today, Rick Shiels joins the RunPod Run Club. Rick is a former professional golfer, who has an impressive fan base of over 2.2M subscribers on YouTube, and his own successful podcast called ‘The Rick Shiels Golf Show’. Rick is also a runner and can’t deny how much the latter is a huge part of his life. It truly doesn’t matter whether or not golf is your passion, this episode is a discussion about the joy of running, the reasons to get out there and an appreciation of its simplicity with incredible benefits. Without doubt listening will make you want to get up, get out and get running. Enjoy.

We’re serving an ace episode of RunPod this week because Jenni has gone to Wimbledon - the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world to record with the legendary sports commentator Andrew Cotter. When Andrew isn’t commentating on a Centre Court match and enjoying overpriced bowls of strawberries, you can find him running through leafy SW London parks and climbing up hills with his gorgeous dogs Olive and Mabel. Running is Andrew’s saviour between work, and if anything is going to motivate you to run today, it’s probably the dulcet tones of a Scottish Broadcaster... NB: this is a LIVE recording, so please forgive the joyful crowds, occasional tennis ball, and the sound of sprinklers… that grass has got to stay green somehow!

Runners and… Horses? Unite! In today’s episode of Runpod we’ve got two very special guests Bob Greenough and Ricky Lightfoot who are going to talk to us about one of the most unique races you could ever sign up for…Man vs Horse. This internationally acclaimed event began in June 1980 following a chat over a pint, and has now galloped its way into the hearts of hundreds of runners looking to win a jackpot amount of money. If you one day fancy running over mountainous terrain, and trying to beat a horse’s PB…you won’t want to miss this one.

RunPod is the podcast where runners unite - all of them, the fast, the slow, the gazelles, the terminators, the short distance, the long distance, the sprinters, the ultra marathoners…. The motivated and the lazy! Yup, if you run, you are a runner…even if you struggle to get out the door from time to time. This week’s guest is perfect to chat about all thing motivational, she calls herself lazy girl running yet she is far from lazy. Laura Fountain is a running coach and personal trainer but more than that, she just loves running. A brilliant episode full of tips, dos, don’ts and plenty of reasons why you should get the trainers on and get out for a run. Enjoy.

In this episode, Dr. Hilary discusses the benefits of exercise as well as his own reasons to run and by doing so will only motivate you to get up and give it a go. There are excellent tips for new - and more experienced - runners, plenty of motivational chat to get you up and out there and finally, Hilary reveals why he has been banned from one of the greatest sporting events in the world!

This week RunPod goes on the road. Jenni thought it was about time to record an episode in front of a live audience and so took the opportunity to do so at the National Running Show. A great venue filled with a ton of running enthusiasts and also she is joined by a couple of truly wonderful superstar guests: Paula Radcliffe and Jo Pavey join Jenni on stage.

Your stories are all different, your running journeys have taken you on different paths and so let's continue in this series of bonus mid-week episodes, meeting another member of the ‘RunPod Run Club’. This week in the Run Club is Ashley Fraser. Ashley started running when she got a place in the London marathon in 2017 and it changed her life. She talks to Jenni about the wonderful running community, how she isn't a competitive runner but how running makes her a better person physically and mentally, the motivation of small wins, going from running 3k up to full marathons and how the day of the London marathon can be one of the best in your life.

The RunPod Run Club has grown so much since it first started and in that time, has become a wonderful, friendly and supportive community of runners. There are members of all running abilities, styles, speeds, shapes and sizes. Everyone is welcome.

Neil tells his tale and explains why running is now a little more challenging, yet something he’s determined to do. It’s a truly inspiring listen.

Today is Global Running Day and RunPod couldn’t claim to be the Run Club of the podcast world if we didn’t acknowledge such an event! So this is just a reminder why you run, or why you should run.
