Paula's Run Club

Welcome to Week 4 of our Leaves, Laces & Long Runs series where we are looking ahead to Nairobi hosting the World Championships. Sitting at a lung-burning altitude, it begs the ultimate question: is Thommo a genetic 'Super Responder' to thin air, or just really good at gasping for breath? We dive deep into the real value of altitude training and serve up some crucial, last-minute marathon tips for your next big race.

Plus, we tackle the big debates from the Ultimate Championships. Was it weakened by missing events? Was the black grass a success or a weird miss? From Klaudia Kazimierska’s meteoric rise to Eilish McColgan battling brutal blisters at the Great North Run, we review the absolute best stories of the summer.

Oh, and the moment you’ve all been waiting for: has Thommo finally faced his fears and stepped into the ice bath?! 🥶

We're in the presence of greatness yet again on Paula's Run Club as we catch up with Double Olympic Triathlon Champion, Alistair Brownlee. Alistair was also individual world triathlon champion twice and won the European title four times. He competed alongside his brother Jonny, two years his junior, at elite level and talks to us about THAT famous race when he pulled Jonny over the line (and onto the podium!) only to be called a cheat. Alistair now has a slower pace of life and works in data research. He tells us all the juicy bits about what makes a successful marathon runner, how at a slow pace might help your speed and what affect heat has on running

AND.. WINE and MARATHONS.. Just what is The Medoc Marathon and why should you do it.
