Welcome to Week 14 of "Here Comes The Run" where we get to talk to Rugby league star turned fundraiser Sir Kevin Sinfield. Kevin tells us all about his life after rugby and why running for his friend and former teammate Rob Burrow, MND and Rob's legacy is so important to him.

Kevin is known for his epic challenges which raise money for the MND community and we dig into the mindset behind it all.. Including running without music, drinks or gels... getting lost in graveyards and don't mention the packs of wild dogs!

Kevin is truly an inspiration so you don't want to miss this episode. Subscribe now so they download automatically and do give them a WATCH on our YouTube channel.

Welcome to Week 11 of "Here Comes The Run" and we've got a refreshingly honest interview with World 1500m Silver Medallist Hannah England.

Hannah talks to us about life as a commentator after being an elite athlete and how she loves being able to still be involved in Athletics. Hannah opens up about the juggle of being a mum to a young baby and still needing to work - breastfeeding in any room available after commentating to the World! We hear about the joy that comes from running and not having the pressure to achieve any more because just chasing those endorphins is enough. 

She also reflects on some major changes in the sport and we get the inside scoop on the Diamond League in Monaco.
