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.

In this bonus Extra Mile, we dive into why autumn might actually be the perfect season to run for your head as much as your heart. 

Autumn is transition. It’s shedding. It’s change. And reconnecting with the outdoors at this time of year can feel like literal therapy.

Carving out just 20–30 minutes for a run is a powerful mental reset - especially when you slow down, look up, breathe in the crisp air and tune into the colour, the sound, the sensation… and yes, nothing beats crunchy leaves underfoot.

Main Episodes of RunPod with guests are available every Friday - catch up with episodes now!

The Extra Mile! How Autumn Running Can Boost Your Mood

Today, Jenni sits down with a man who lives at the crossroads of elite performance + real life food.

Jonny Marsh is the private chef trusted by some of the biggest names in football - Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland, Kyle Walker, İlkay Gündoğan, Luke Shaw… the list goes on.

And Jonny is one of us - he’s a runner.

He genuinely believes nothing hits the dopamine switch like going for a run - and cooking for these world-class players has shown him first hand how food drives performance, mood, recovery and consistency.

Jonny’s first ever cookbook THE PRIVATE CHEF is out 14 November 2025 - and he’s made it for normal humans. 80 recipes. Adaptable. Realistic. Good for busy weeks. Good for training blocks. Good for fuelling a life that you actually enjoy.

Whether you’re marathon prepping, couch-to-5k-ing, or just running for headspace - this one is for you.
