The Extra Mile! How Autumn Running Can Boost Your Mood
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!
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.
