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 PLUS Wild Nutrition are giving Paula’s Run Club listeners an exclusive 50% off for three months and a free personal consultation with a nutritional therapist.

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.

Welcome to Week Eight of "Here Comes The Run" and we've got World Cup fever too! Former England footballer Danny Mills chats to Paula & Thommo about his many roles as athlete, dad and of course, marathon runner! We're not sure how many hats that is, but probably not as many as his caps for England. Danny talks to us about how the power of the mind helps him to go further than he expects and about the joy in the individualism in running. He reminisces on his career as a footballer calling it the best career on the planet but admits it took it's toll on his body. These days he's relishing the lack of competition in his sport whilst simultaneously helping his children to be competitive and resilient in their new sporting careers. This is not one to miss if you're juggling parenting ambitious children! We're also talking rollercoasters again... hands up if you've been on The Big one in Blackpool!

Welcome to Week Seven of our "Here Comes The Run" series where we sit down with CBeebies presenter Evie Pickerill. Evie ran her first London Marathon this year in her role as a Children with Cancer Ambassador and she's got a secret... she was a swimmer, not a runner, so we find out if the experience has made her change lanes. We talk about jeffing, how she got through those long - sometimes wet - runs and how to fit training around her busy job at the BBC. Evie also tells us about how when she needed to dig deep in the hard marathon moments, she took solace in remembering why she was doing it in the first place, to raise awareness for children who are battling with cancer. There's school sports day chat and also a Banksy quote that Thommo still can't quite remember!

It's Week 6 of our "Here Comes The Run" series and this episode is a very special and emotional one. Paula and Thommo talk to the running inspiration Jordan Adams who is one half of The FTD Brothers - the one that carries a fridge around his marathons! Jordan and his brother Cian run in memory of their mum who was diagnosed with ‘Early-Onset’ Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) before she sadly passed away on 14th March 2016 at the age of 52. However, their story doesn't end there, and Jordan tells us how when he and his brother were also diagnosed with this disease, Jordan decided to use the power of knowing what lies ahead to take action in the form of raising awareness as a community speaker and fundraising through his running - he's done marathons, ultras and even attempted 982 laps of an athletics track in the depths of winter! We learn about Jordan's incredible story and how he sacrificed his career as an amateur footballer and painting & decorating to advocate for FTD.  Have a listen to this episode to hear so much more from this incredible person.If you would like to donate and get them to the £2 million mark then head to their websitehttps://theftdbrothers.com/pages/donate We are going to keep that marathon theme going over the next few weeks.

We're still basking in the buzz from the London Marathon and we're not the only ones as you'll hear in this episode. We catch up with BBC's Sophie Raworth, McFly's Harry Judd and our 'Fresher' Charlotte as we find out how they got on in the London Marathon... SPOILER they're ALL smiling!

We also catch up with the new British Record holder for Women over 50 in the marathon, Alice Braham.

With ONE DAY left to go until the London Marathon 2026, Paula & Thommo took to the stage at London's Apple Brompton Road Store in front of another fantastic live audience. We're joined by co-founder of Track Mafia, Cory Wharton- Malcolm, who’s been a prominent figure in London’s running community for a long time. In Track Mafia, he’s built something truly special known for its inclusive, energetic, and community-driven approach to running. His book "All You Need is Rhythm & Grit" was released in 2024 and many of you will also know him as a coach on Apple Fitness+, where he brings that same spirit to runners everywhere.

We're back with another BONUS episode on our Road to the London Marathon 2026. Paula and Thommo took the stage at The Running Show at ExCel to take questions from the audience, most of whom had just registered and picked up their numbers for Sunday's big race. So, it was all about last minute prep for Sunday, what to eat and drink, how to get ready if like some you'd just jetted back in from Boston, or like one person who had taken 5 days to cycle, walk and run to the capital from County Durham(?!) Thommo and Paula talk about their personal marathon highs, tips for what to actually think about while running and of course how the London crowd will push you along with so much support, you might actually have to slow down to make sure you don't go off too fast! All recorded live in front of an audience, who were very lovely indeed and even laughed at Thommo's jokes.
