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.

Jenni is joined by the multi-talented Adil Ray OBE-actor, writer, broadcaster… and yes, DJ! Though when a young Adil first announced he wanted to be a “disc jockey,” his aunt was convinced he meant riding horses.

Adil shares how music shapes his runs, choosing tracks based on tempo, mood, and the kind of energy he’s chasing. From the soulful calm of Marvin Gaye and Bill Withers to some truly unexpected surprises, his running playlist is as original and brilliant as he is.

Whether you’re after inspiration, motivation, or just a great listen on your next run, tune in to discover Adil’s unique soundtrack to hitting the pavement. Lace up-and press play!

Adil's Main Episode of RunPod is available to listen to now!

The Extra Mile! Running Fun in December: What Kind of Challenges Could I Do?

This week on RunPod, Jenni is joined by broadcaster, actor, comedian and all-round national treasure Adil Ray OBE. You may know him as the creator and star of Citizen Khan, from his mornings on Good Morning Britain, or-most importantly-as Jenni’s friend and colleague over on Smooth Radio.

Adil is a passionate runner who fully embraces the physical and mental benefits of getting out for a jog… even if he insists he’s the Mini Metro of running while Jenni is more of a Lexus. From pace to mindset, they compare their running styles, training quirks and what keeps them going on the tougher days.

And of course, Adil has thoughts about Jenni earning her stripes as a true “14-ker”… but you’ll have to listen to hear exactly what he has to say.

This episode is warm, funny, relatable and also a gentle reminder to people everywhere: never forget a poo bag.

Lace up and enjoy!

The Extra Mile! What Is Best - Running With Friends Or Running Solo?

This week on RunPod, Jenni meets Sam King - an incredible man who swapped late-night gaming sessions for long-distance runs with a mission that goes far beyond the finish line.

In this conversation, Sam shares how he went from gaming chair to training shoes, what drives him through the toughest miles, and how running became both therapy and tribute. 

His journey is a raw, uplifting reminder of how determination and love can turn pain into purpose.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just someone searching for motivation to take the next step - Sam’s story will leave you inspired to run your own race, whatever that looks like.
