In this episode of RunPod: The Extra Mile, Jenni unpacks why your pace might dip in autumn - and why that’s completely normal.

The Extra Mile! Why Your Pace Might Drop In Autumn, And By The Way, That's Ok!

This week on RunPod, Jenni is joined by the brilliant actress Sian Brooke - star of Trying on Apple TV+ and Blue Lights on the BBC.

Jenni and Sian first met years ago on ITV's This Morning, and now they’re reunited to chat about one of Sian’s quiet lifelong passions: running.

Although she’s been lacing up since she was 17, Sian never quite considered herself “a runner” - she jokingly calls herself a shuffler. But that steady shuffle has carried her through so many moments in life, becoming her solace, her moving meditation, and her way of finding calm amidst busy days.

In this episode, Jenni and Sian dive into the profound impact running has on their everyday lives, how to squeeze a run into even the busiest schedule, and the thrill (and challenge!) of half marathons.

Whether you’re a gazelle, a casual jogger, or a fellow shuffler, this conversation will remind you why running is about so much more than miles on the clock.

In this episode of RunPod, Jenni catches up with singer, model and radio presenter, Josh Cuthbert. Jenni and Josh discuss how they have sporting highs and lows. The low was their major sporting fail on national television - their high is their love of running. They also discuss the etiquette of running on holiday and how Josh managed to fit training into his busy schedule when he was on the road with Union J. He also gives us a peak into his favourite treadmill workouts for improved fitness and burning the calories, as well as the secrets to good post-run food from the Masterchef kitchen AND how a run can be ruined by raccoons and pigeons! A fun episode that will keep you perfect company on your run, on your commute or whilst you try to find the motivation to get up off the sofa. Enjoy.

Josh Cuthbert
