Paula's Run Club

Welcome along to week 10 of "Here Comes the Run" with our really special guest Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill. Jess had a spectacular career winnng gold in the Heptathlon on Super Saturday at the London 2012 Olympics.

She was a three time world champion and also won a silver medal in the Rio Olympics. Now she's a commentator, mum, business woman and a keen runner!

Jess tells us what she gets from running now she's away from the elite environment. She's also enjoying padel tennis, weights and even hill runs.

Thommo reflects on London 2012 and the pressure on Jess as the poster girl from the Games and how she dealt with it and how she's moved on from that.

She talks to Paula about being a mum, getting her two kids in to sport and encouraging them to have the biggest wildest dream

There's also a reminder of a special live podcast recording and shakeout run in Durham on July 15th, a look at the week in athletics and more advice on running in the heat as the summer continues to have some very hot days.

A dog walker gets in touch to find out how to combine training with a very physical job and we talk about transitioning from ultra run training to marathon training.

Welcome back to Paula's Run Club!

In week nine of "Here Comes The Run", Paula & Thommo explore the fascinating intersections between elite running and Formula 1.

They are joined by Alan Permane, the Team Principal of Racing Bulls and an avid runner who has completed the London Marathon.

The conversation with Alan delves into the technical parallels between F1 and athletics. He talks about driver preparation, covering everything from core and neck strength to the use of ice baths for recovery in hot climates like Singapore. He also shares his personal race-day routine, which involves a morning run to manage stress and clear his head before heading to the track.

In this hot summer, Paula and Thommo offer essential advice for summer running safety, highlighting the importance of hydration and electrolytes in the heat, noting that children often struggle to communicate when they are thirsty or hungry during activity.

There's also announcement for a special live podcast recording and shakeout run in Durham on July 15th and a look at the British Championships

Bonus Paula's Run Club Episode Alert!

London Marathon Race Director Hugh Brasher sits down with Paula and Thommo to talk about The Double: the 2027 London Marathon which is now being run over 2 days.

We all had lots of questions and a LOT of excitement when the announcement was made, but how exactly is this going to work?

Who will run on which day?

Will there be a special Saturday medal?

How will London be affected by the marathon taking over for a whole weekend - with the kids' races now on Friday as well?

How will those young runners cope with having to take a day off school?!

And... is this REALLY a one-off?

We try to get Hugh to answer all of these questions in this special bonus Q&A.

Massive thanks to Hugh for his time to come on to the pod.

We'll be back with a Shakeout on Thursday and another full podcast on Monday.
