Welcome to Week 12 of "Here Comes The Run" and we've got a special pod from on stage at Durham's wonderful Gala Theatre.

Paula and Thommo welcome two incredible guests: North East England Mayor Kim McGuinness and Kate Macpherson, the founder of Durham Mums on the Run. The conversation celebrates the region's unmatched passion for sport, counting down to the Great North Run and hints at an ambitious idea for a future Olympic bid across the North.

Kate shares the inspiring 12-year journey of her running community, showcasing how the group provides essential camaraderie, support for postnatal safety, and an inclusive space for women of all ages and backgrounds to stay active.

From encouraging families to drop their phones and connect through sport to sharing a moving story of overcoming postnatal depression through the "power of the pack," this episode captures how running builds resilience and community.

There's also chat about a thrilling Monaco Diamond League predictions for the upcoming London Diamond League - see if they got them right!

They certainly didn't get the football right!

Welcome to this week's shakeout where we open up the mailbox (well, emails, WhatsApp and socials!) and share all of our wonderful audience interaction with you.    

We hear from a listener who might be able to help us achieve our dream of running on a Formula 1 track - pinch us, is it real? It got us ruminating on the similarities between motor racing and running.. It's all about the fuel you put in!

We also discuss if and when to push on in a race if you're feeling a bit under the weather. As Thommo says, it's like when you're grumpy, you might not realise you're ill until you're not!

PLUS we have The Honours Board with lots of lovely pictures sent in so hop on to our YouTube channel so you can see them too!

Welcome to Week 11 of "Here Comes The Run" and we've got a refreshingly honest interview with World 1500m Silver Medallist Hannah England.

Hannah talks to us about life as a commentator after being an elite athlete and how she loves being able to still be involved in Athletics. Hannah opens up about the juggle of being a mum to a young baby and still needing to work - breastfeeding in any room available after commentating to the World! We hear about the joy that comes from running and not having the pressure to achieve any more because just chasing those endorphins is enough.

She also reflects on some major changes in the sport and we get the inside scoop on the Diamond League in Monaco.

Welcome along to this week's Shakeout with answers to more of your questions.

This week we're looking at having runs around motor racing circuits inspired by our F1 episode. Thommo is hoping he still holds the record around Silverstone along with a 10k at Donington Park. And listener Scott from Leicester has let us know about Silverstone Runfest in November. Details at runfestsilverstone.com

We consider motivation for kids in sport and finding the balance between opportunity and burning out. There's also a double helping of IT band advice with some top tips from Paula and Thommo.

The Honour's Board features a lovely story of a run club at a special needs school and well deserved recipients.

Hope you enjoy it!

Also, please keep sending videos and photos.. We put them all on our video versions of the episodes which you can find on YouTube.
