Running with Jake - The PLODcast

Running with Jake - The PLODcast 014 (Premature ageing, Marathon Marcus & The Stairs of DEATH!)

Today's guest is Marathon Marcus.  Jake chats to him about breaking 3 hours (having narrowly missed it by 19-seconds in New York).  Marcus is a 6-star finisher and a big ambassador for mental health.

You'll also hear why Pete and Ian (the voiceover guy) are ageing prematurely due to social distancing, and why Jake and his girlfriend Marty nearly die everyday on The Stairs of DEATH!

And, as always; there's your chance to #AskJake - This week, it's all about when you should get new running shoes.

Running with Jake - The PLODcast 013 (Bladder control, time management & InstaGRAN!)

With so many Mother’s Day disruptions up and down the country, on this episode we put a call in to Jake’s super positive 84 year old Grandma to see how she’s doing. (...and to let her know that Jake's okay!)

With the growing number of people now working from home, Jake shares a time management tool that he actually uses himself - the Pomodoro Technique. This increases productivity, BUT with Jake’s little twist it also improves your physical wellbeing!

And, as always; there's your chance to #AskJake - This week, it's all about bladder control!

Running with Jake - The PLODcast 012 (Coronavirus - The impact)

With the delay of so many Marathons due to the coronavirus outbreak, Jake offers advice to you if your event has been postponed and you're feeling frustrated.  He talks about being in your "maintenance mode" and how this extra training time doesn't necessarily need to be seen as a bad thing. 

We've got Lindsy James on the show, who's a massively motivated record breaking runner.  Jake chats to her about her thoughts surrounding all of the marathon postponements and how it affects her training.

And, as always; there's your chance to #AskJake.

Running with Jake - The PLODcast 011 (A Random act of motivation and X-Factorcises!)

With Jake still on the injury bench he is determined to pick the brains of as many injury experts as possible, and on this episode we chat to Physiotherapist Rob Smith at RS Therapy in Derby. Rob is all about ‘bullet-proofing the body’ BEFORE an injury strikes.

We put a call in to an unsuspecting runner who has lost their mojo and Jake flexes his motivational muscles to get them back on track, in Random Act of Motivation!  Don’t forget, if you know of someone who is in desperate need of a little encouragement to help them find their mojo then drop us a message at plodcast@runningwithjake.com and tell us a little bit about them.

And, as always; there's your chance to #AskJake.

Running with Jake - The PLODcast 009 (The RATINGS RANT and an injured friend)

On this episode, you'll hear Jake's theory about the 18 mile point in a marathon being more challenging than the 20 mile point.  It (kind of) makes sense, when you think about it!

Jake finally catches up with injury prone Darren- a man desperate to see two things… the finish line of a marathon and "the penis under his belly”.  

And, as always; there's your chance to #AskJake.
