Hello there, I'm Jenny Faulkner, back here, uniting runners on Run Pod.

You see, that's the thing as well.

So many people are runners, more than you realize.

And today's guest is known for many things.

She played Dorothy in Men Behaving Badly, Maggie and Jonathan Creek, DCI, Janine Lewis in Blue

Murder. We saw her dance across the ballroom in Strictly a couple of years ago. She's treaded

the board, presented telly shows. She's even once released a single that did actually go in

the charts as well. But here's the best bit. She is also a runner. Welcome to Run Pod. Caroline Quentin, hello there.

Hello, Jenny. Thank you so much for inviting me on. Oh, do you know, it's so lovely to have you on RunPod.

And I have to tell the story of how it came about because I walked past you while you were outside the

theatre where you were doing some rehearsals and I was about to run home and you waved over and you were like, I want to chat about running

and I was like, well I'd love to chat you about running and so here we go.

Finally, we've got it to happen.

How are you?

I'm well, thank you.

I'm well, I'm, I'm sort of getting used to life again. I got COVID and I got it quite badly.

So it has taken me a while to pick up actually. I've got to be honest. And I have just started running again after six months really really, of not being able to do very much.

So it's great actually to be talking to you today because I've only started again in the last few weeks.

And I was quite nervous about starting again.

But here to report, I think it might be the way forward to helping my,

my fitness back, really. I think running is going to be the thing that helps me.

I'm sorry to hear that you kind of were struggling with COVID. You know, you're not alone.
