  • Paula is unreal

    You forget what Paula has achieved and how great she was. She really relates to all runners and makes this podcast brilliant. The guy tends to go off on a tangent and waffle quite a lot but overall one of the best podcasts around

  • Sugarless gels

    Hi Paula and Tomo - Great podcast, I listen to it all the time on my runs! Regarding the listener who was for advice on sugarless nutrition for marathons, there is a brand of gel quite popular now called UCAN that does not contain sugar. Its whole premise is that it uses a slow release super starch that fuels you for longer without the blood sugar spikes that accompanies traditional gels. Elite athletes like Dakotah Popehn, Sara Hall, and Meb Keflezighi use it. You should check it out! Happy run... more

  • Fabulous running podcast!

    Solid five stars running podcast, full of brilliant tips and camaraderie. (Please get rid / significantly reduce the volume of the TradeCentreUK adverts: so loud and piercing - so unnecessary - and has made me want to avoid TCUK at all costs).

    Thank you so much, Paula and Thommo. It is a privilege to tune into your show! X

  • Way too many ads

    I was really excited to find this podcast, but gave up after 14 minutes when I got tired of listening to ads. Will try again in a few months to see if they change the format.
