Richard Whitehead MBE

Everyone can run. That is the message that this week's guest is spreading. 
Richard Whitehead is a Paralympic Champion, IPC World Champion and IPC European Champion and has run countless races across the globe. 
This week he chats to Jenni about his experience on Hunted with fellow member of the RunPod Run Club Iwan Thomas, how smiling when running can change your outlook, how he found running as a double amputee, the first day he wore prosthetics and ran 10 miles and his own run. Run with Rich is on the 25th June in Nottingham, raising money for the Richard Whitehead Foundation - helping people live a life without limits and enabling disabled people to believe and achieve.

Welcome to RunPod, the weekly run club you can join simply by listening. In this series Jenni Falconer welcomes special guests who share that passion for running. Together they’ll discuss the challenge, reward and sometimes obsession of pounding the pavement whilst asking what drives us to run, why some catch the bug more than others, and how it can transform the lives of those who do it. Along the way, you'll hear top training tips, monumental mistakes and some inspirational stories. So, whether you’re a seasoned marathoner, treadmill trainer, fitness guru or simply putting off that Sunday jog, RunPod is here for you.
