Cheshire athlete Paula Radcliffe, regarded as one of the greatest female distance runners of her generation, has brought her podcast Paula’s Run Club to Sport Social Podcast Network.
Alongside Chris Thompson, one of the UK’s most prolific distance runners for over 25 years,
Radcliffe delivers high-energy entertainment with a strong community spirit. The multiple medal winner and world record holder – including holding the women’s marathon record for an astonishing 17 years – has continued her passion for running since retiring in 2015, and running fans can now get unrivalled access through her weekly podcast.
Paula’s Run Club is a hub for runners of all ages and abilities. From parkruns to major city marathons, listeners can share experiences, learn from world-class athletes, and hear uplifting stories that inspire. While the show occasionally touches on elite sport, it’s mainly about the wider running world: the joy, health, and connection it brings. Regular guests from sport and entertainment, including Chelsea Clinton, Chris Evans and Charley Hull, reveal what motivates them to run, whether for fun, fitness, or mental wellbeing.

Radcliffe said: “I am delighted that Sport Social are supporting and promoting Paula’s Run Club. They are the ideal partner to help grow our community, we really have a vision to provide a community hub for all runners to come to and share advice, concerns and a love of running.”
Stefan Doyle, head of Sport Social, added: “Running has a unique power to connect people, no matter their background or ability – and nobody embodies that spirit better than Paula. With Paula’s Run Club, she’s building a space where the whole running community can come together, share their journeys, and inspire each other. We’re proud to welcome her to the Sport Social Podcast Network.”
Paula’s Run Club is available on all major podcast platforms, with new episodes twice a week and a “Shakeout” edition every Thursday dedicated to listener and audience Q&As.
Manchester-based Sport Social is Europe’s largest dedicated sports podcast network, featuring top titles like “Undr The Cosh”, “The Anfield Wrap”, and Joe Marler’s “Things People Do”.
