Summary
This week on RunPod, Jenni is joined by the brilliant actress Sian Brooke - star of Trying on Apple TV+ and Blue Lights on the BBC.
Jenni and Sian first met years ago on ITV's This Morning, and now they’re reunited to chat about one of Sian’s quiet lifelong passions: running.
Although she’s been lacing up since she was 17, Sian never quite considered herself “a runner” - she jokingly calls herself a shuffler. But that steady shuffle has carried her through so many moments in life, becoming her solace, her moving meditation, and her way of finding calm amidst busy days.
In this episode, Jenni and Sian dive into the profound impact running has on their everyday lives, how to squeeze a run into even the busiest schedule, and the thrill (and challenge!) of half marathons.
Whether you’re a gazelle, a casual jogger, or a fellow shuffler, this conversation will remind you why running is about so much more than miles on the clock.
