In this heartfelt episode of RunPod, Jenni is joined by Emmerdale’s Tony Audenshaw- actor, passionate runner, and proud marathoner with more than a few fancy-dress records to his name.

Tony shares the story of how running transformed his life- from struggling through his first marathon to chasing sub-three-hour times, tackling ultramarathons, and finding joy on the trails. He opens up about his late wife Ruth, their shared love of running, and how he honoured her memory at this year’s London Marathon while raising vital funds for pancreatic cancer research.

From the camaraderie of running clubs to the quiet strength found on Peak District trails, Tony reflects on resilience, ageing, injury, and the simple magic of putting one foot in front of the other.

Whether you’re chasing PBs, starting Couch to 5K, or just need a reminder of the joy running can bring, this is an uplifting conversation about community, perseverance, and the miles that shape us.

Jenni loves ice baths - but is plunging into freezing water just a shivery fad, or could it actually help your running recovery? In this episode of The RunPod Extra Mile, Jenni explores whether ice baths are worth the chill, and if you should take them before or after a run.

Disclaimer: This episode reflects Jenni’s personal opinion and experience. Always consult a doctor or qualified professional before trying an ice bath or making changes to your health and running routine.

Each week on RunPod Jenni meets someone remarkable, inspiring, and fascinating - and this episode is no exception.

Joining us in the studio wearing his signature crown is Iain Liam Ward, better known as The King of Chemo.

Diagnosed with brain cancer in 2019, Iain made a bold decision: instead of slowing down, he launched a mission to break the world record for the most money ever raised for charity through running.

Since then, he’s completed marathon after marathon-often while undergoing treatment-proving that cancer might change your life, but it doesn’t have to stop it.

Iain’s story is one of defiance, purpose, and unbelievable grit. With raw honesty, humour, and a crown firmly on his head, he’s rewriting what it means to live with terminal illness - and running every step of the way for a cause bigger than himself.

If you’re looking for motivation, hope, and a reminder that life begins where comfort ends - this episode will stay with you long after the final mile
