RunPod

Global

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.

John McAvoy
Today’s guest John McAvoy is a Nike Athlete and a motivational speaker who inspires young people to live a good, and honest life. However, John’s story is probably unlike anything you’ve heard before… When John was young, he grew up in an environment of organised crime, leading to a life of armed robbery, and 10 years behind bars at a high-security prison. His “role models” back in the day, led him to believe being behind bars was “just a way of life”. Everything was about money, the acquisition of wealth and disobeying authority. They told him that if he went to prison and started behaving, then the system had got him. However, whilst in his cell John decided he wanted to feel like a proper human being so he decided to spend his days educating himself by reading books from the prison librarian, and started exercising one push-up at a time… John’s new exercise regime led him to break both British and World records whilst in prison, and in turn he's found redemption through the power of sport. He now lives in the Alps and has forged a life as an endurance athlete and speaker who is committed to using his story of rehabilitation to help and inspire others to change their lives for the better. In his own words, John feels completely detached from who he was in the past, and that is in itself, is a very moving story.

Seann Walsh
Jenni is joined by British Stand Up Comedian, Seann Walsh. Like many of us, Seann runs to be a better version of himself. All he needs is a peanut bagel, and he's out the door - reaping the benefits and answering loads of emails! Since having his daughter Wilder, and being on tour, his running has been slacking, BUT coming on RunPod has worked its magic because it's reminded him how much he loves it for his anxiety and general wellbeing. If you're reading this, hold Seann accountable to his running regime on Instagram, and also make sure you check out his tour 'BACK FROM BED' which ends in Belfast on 31st May 2024.

Introducing: They Don't Teach This At School with Myleene Klass!
Hey RunPod fans, we have a new podcast we think you'd like from Myleene Klass, called They Don't Teach This In School... Be honest - how many times have you felt so under-equipped for what life has thrown your way? In school we learned about Pythagoras, but then we went out into the adult world and we were expected to know how to budget for a household, set up a bank account or know what to do when the boiler broke. Myleene says "There was so much I wish we were taught. So that’s how my book and this podcast was born. I’ll be speaking to some brilliant guests to share their tips on how they and their families survive life’s challenges" Listen to the latest episodes now and subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday.
