Welcome to The Extra Mile, a brand-new Monday Motivation series on RunPod with Jenni Falconer—designed to help you feel the feel-good even more!

Each week, Jenni will inspire you to go that little bit further, whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out. In this first episode, she’s tackling the biggest challenge of all: taking that crucial first step. How do you get started? What keeps you motivated? And why is lacing up your trainers the hardest but most rewarding part?

Join Jenni as she shares tips, stories, and motivation to help you push past your limits and discover the joy of running. So, are you ready to go The Extra Mile? Let’s do this!

Join Jenni on RunPod as she welcomes back comedian, podcaster, and self-proclaimed running nerd Helen Thorn!

Best known as one half of the hilarious Scummy Mummies, Helen isn’t just about the laughs—she’s also a seasoned marathon runner, having conquered eight marathons (with her sights set on ten!).

In this episode, Helen shares her passion for running, why she believes marathons are like childbirth ("you forget the pain!"), and why the Copenhagen Marathon holds a special place in her heart—mainly for the pastries.

She’s also living proof that life after a painful divorce can bring joy and a new lease on life. Expect plenty of laughs, motivation, and maybe even a few training tips along the way!

Lace up and hit play—this is one episode you won’t want to miss!

In this special RunPod LIVE episode, Jenni is joined by Spencer Matthews at The National Running Show in Birmingham!
