Welcome to RunPod, the weekly run club you can join simply by listening. In this series Jenni Falconer welcomes special guests who share that passion for running. Together they’ll discuss the challenge, reward and sometimes obsession of pounding the pavement whilst asking what drives us to run, why some catch the bug more than others, and how it can transform the lives of those who do it. Along the way, you'll hear top training tips, monumental mistakes and some inspirational stories. So, whether you’re a seasoned marathoner, treadmill trainer, fitness guru or simply putting off that Sunday jog, RunPod is here for you.

As the days get shorter and the evenings draw in, many of us find ourselves running in the dark.

In this episode of The Extra Mile, Jenni breaks down the mindset shifts that make running in the dark not just manageable - but genuinely enjoyable. 

She talks headspace, confidence, calm, and the mental framing that helps those dark miles feel lighter.

SAFETY NOTE: always tell someone when you are heading out to run in the dark.
