    Jun 29 2026
    Welcome back to Paula's Run Club! In week nine of "Here Comes The Run", Paula & Thommo explore the fascinating intersections between elite running and Formula 1. They are joined by Alan Permane, the Team Principal of Racing Bulls and an avid runner who has completed the London Marathon. The conversation with Alan delves into the technical parallels between F1 and athletics. He talks about driver preparation, covering everything from core and neck strength to the use of ice baths for recovery in hot climates like Singapore. He also shares his personal race-day routine, which involves a morning run to manage stress and clear his head before heading to the track. In this hot summer, Paula and Thommo offer essential advice for summer running safety, highlighting the importance of hydration and electrolytes in the heat, noting that children often struggle to communicate when they are thirsty or hungry during activity. There's also announcement for a special live podcast recording and shakeout run in Durham on July 15th and a look at the British Championships PLUS Wild Nutrition are giving Paula’s Run Club listeners an exclusive 50% off for three months and a free personal consultation with a nutritional therapist.

    Bonus Paula's Run Club Episode Alert! London Marathon Race Director Hugh Brasher sits down with Paula and Thommo to talk about The Double: the 2027 London Marathon which is now being run over 2 days. We all had lots of questions and a LOT of excitement when the announcement was made, but how exactly is this going to work? Who will run on which day? Will there be a special Saturday medal? How will London be affected by the marathon taking over for a whole weekend - with the kids' races now on Friday as well? How will those young runners cope with having to take a day off school?! And... is this REALLY a one-off? We try to get Hugh to answer all of these questions in this special bonus Q&A. Massive thanks to Hugh for his time to come on to the pod.

  • There's No Secret Sauce... with Danny Mills

    There's No Secret Sauce... with Danny Mills
    Jun 22 2026
    Welcome to Week Eight of "Here Comes The Run" and we've got World Cup fever too! Former England footballer Danny Mills chats to Paula & Thommo about his many roles as athlete, dad and of course, marathon runner! We're not sure how many hats that is, but probably not as many as his caps for England. Danny talks to us about how the power of the mind helps him to go further than he expects and about the joy in the individualism in running. He reminisces on his career as a footballer calling it the best career on the planet but admits it took it's toll on his body. These days he's relishing the lack of competition in his sport whilst simultaneously helping his children to be competitive and resilient in their new sporting careers. This is not one to miss if you're juggling parenting ambitious children! We're also talking rollercoasters again... hands up if you've been on The Big one in Blackpool!
