Paula's Run Club

So that's the London Marathon DONE and now it's time for a whole new adventure with Paula & Thommo: "Here Comes The Run"!

This is all about Family Fitness, getting out there in the (hopefully) good weather and hearing from some great guests along the way.

We kick off with broadcaster and radio presenter Nemone. She'll be talking about how running keeps her going in a very busy schedule. While DJing on BBC Radio 1 & 6Music, she's also a fully trained psychotherapist as well.

Add to the mix how she tried to make it into the Greek Olympic Team for the Athens Olympics and which songs she thinks you should have in your ears in miles 1, 20 and 26 and it's a great start to our new season!

We are going to keep that marathon theme going over the next few
weeks. We want to hear your stories. Send us a video telling us about
your marathon journey and we will feature it in the podcast and on
socials and the YouTube Channel.

We're back with another BONUS episode on our Road to the London Marathon 2026.

Paula and Thommo took the stage at The Running Show at ExCel to take questions from the audience, most of whom had just registered and picked up their numbers for Sunday's big race.

So, it was all about last minute prep for Sunday, what to eat and drink, how to get ready if like some you'd just jetted back in from Boston, or like one person who had taken 5 days to cycle, walk and run to the capital from County Durham(?!)

Thommo and Paula talk about their personal marathon highs, tips for what to actually think about while running and of course how the London crowd will push you along with so much support, you might actually have to slow down to make sure you don't go off too fast!

All recorded live in front of an audience, who were very lovely indeed and even laughed at Thommo's jokes.
