Paula's Run Club

Welcome to Week 13 of "Here Comes The Run" and we're thrilled to welcome reigning Olympic Triathlon Champion Cassandre Beaugrand to the club!

Cassandre has been on absolute fire on the track this season, shattering French national records in both the 5,000m (Nice) and the 3,000m (Monaco Diamond League).

In this episode she opens up about how she balances high-level triathlon volume with elite track speed; her time training out of her comfort zone in Loughborough; and dealing with hyper-nervousness and intense pressure on her way to winning Olympic gold on home soil in Paris.

Now it's about Cassandre rediscovering the pure joy of running.

This week, we're also bouncing back from a phenomenal weekend of athletics, starting with Josh Kerr's incredible world record performance in the mile at the London Diamond League

This weeks' Shakeout was recorded live before a lovely audience at the stunning Gala Theatre in Durham during the Durham City Run Festival

Straight off the back of a showing of Paula's film Chasing Stars, Paula & Thommo grilled local hero Steve Cram - and so did the audience!In this episode, Paula attempts to break down her infamous, grueling pre-marathon track workout - the Bondenko session - much to the confusion and amusement of Chris and Steve. The conversation takes a personal turn as they explore the unique realities of raising children around world-class athletics. Then in the Q&A how does a first-time marathoner re-establish a training routine after completing the New York Marathon?

Huge thanks to everyone who came along to see Paula's film and to stay beyond a World Cup semi-final kick off time to see and hear the podcast, and to ask such great questions!

No one tell them the score, okay? It's just best that way...

Welcome to Week 12 of "Here Comes The Run" and we've got a special pod from on stage at Durham's wonderful Gala Theatre.

Paula and Thommo welcome two incredible guests: North East England Mayor Kim McGuinness and Kate Macpherson, the founder of Durham Mums on the Run. The conversation celebrates the region's unmatched passion for sport, counting down to the Great North Run and hints at an ambitious idea for a future Olympic bid across the North.

Kate shares the inspiring 12-year journey of her running community, showcasing how the group provides essential camaraderie, support for postnatal safety, and an inclusive space for women of all ages and backgrounds to stay active.

From encouraging families to drop their phones and connect through sport to sharing a moving story of overcoming postnatal depression through the "power of the pack," this episode captures how running builds resilience and community.

Welcome to this week's shakeout where we open up the mailbox (well, emails, WhatsApp and socials!) and share all of our wonderful audience interaction with you.    

We hear from a listener who might be able to help us achieve our dream of running on a Formula 1 track - pinch us, is it real? It got us ruminating on the similarities between motor racing and running.. It's all about the fuel you put in!

We also discuss if and when to push on in a race if you're feeling a bit under the weather. As Thommo says, it's like when you're grumpy, you might not realise you're ill until you're not!

PLUS we have The Honours Board with lots of lovely pictures sent in so hop on to our YouTube channel so you can see them too!

Paula personally requests you to please keep sending videos and photos.. We think they're brilliant.

We'd love to hear more from you with your questions, comments and nominations for the Honour's Board and don't forget you can also WATCH and comment on the episode on YouTube.
