Paula's Run Club

Strength and conditioning expert Rich Blagrove joins us this week with tips on how to build those exercises into your week.

He discusses the importance of S&C sessions in your marathon training with some invaluable advice about HOW to do it and WHEN to do it!

Meanwhile, Thommo has tweaked his calf but is relieved to discover that Paula is back having survived the Bermuda triangle..  it might be something to do with all those RUM stops in her 10k run (photo evidence on the YouTube episode!).

We also catch up with McFly's Harry Judd and his training partner Gab Stone after their mega training session by our resident coach Thommo. Good reviews all round (thankfully).

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. Just go to ⁠wildnutrition.com/paula⁠ to get started.

Our build up to the London Marathon continues with more of your questions in the weekly Shakeout.

This week the topics include advice on positioning yourself within a marathon and mental strategies for running in a pack. Paula and Thommo chat about how to train in the heat, especially if you're wanting to train outside rather than on a treadmill.

There's information about how to taper your distance training as you get closer to the big event. And a query about how to deal with long term rest due to injury - what can you do instead?

You can get in touch with us with a question or a comment or a nomination for the Honours Board by email or WhatsApp.

Our road to London continues with some brilliant advice from Georgie Bruinvels who's an expert in sports physiology. She's got plenty of tips on nutrition, supplements, boosting our immune systems and how to know we're doing the right things. There's also a good discussion about using creatine.

She talks to Paula and Thommo about gut health and probiotics and there's a discussion about pelvic floor exercises for women and men...something new for Thommo!

And then there's HRV. Heart Rate Variability - what is it and what does it mean?

We welcome to the podcast BBC Newsreader Sophie Raworth to talk about her preparation for London - she'll be logging her journey with us for the next 3 months. Her pedigree is top notch having run the leading marathons all over the world.

We're also excited to announce we'll be working with Wild Nutrition over the build-up to the London Marathon with some great nutrition advice.
