Time now to thank one of the partners of this episode of Run Pod, Cooper, the Run Coaching App.

Now it's January, it's time to set those training goals for 2025.

And this is where Cooper, the Run Coaching app, comes in very handy indeed.

So whether you're a season veteran or a

first timer training for a race, or perhaps you just fancy some structure to your running,

well, Cooper training plans are built for you by expert coaches and they adjust as you improve.

So you say how often you run each week and from today to race day,

you'll have every short run, long run, tempo run and workout session tailored to you.

Cupa is the running app that helps you beat your running goals, guaranteed or your money back.

I'm actually using Cupa to help me prepare for the TCS London Marathon this year,

and you could too. They're offering all RunPod listeners a two-week free trial of their app,

and then 20% off their standard annual subscription price. That's a whole year of dedicated run coaching

for just £67.99. Just download the Cupa app and use the code RunPod on sign up.

hello there and welcome to the ultimate episode of rum podod for 2024. This is the Rumpod Christmas Gift Guide. Now, this has been an annual occurrence for some time. And so it's only right that I bribe my two amazing running experts back into the Rumpod studio for another Rumpod guide. Yeah, so see me as Santa. They're

going to kill me when I say this. I'm Jenny Faulkner and my two elves are Esther Newman and Mike

saw. I do feel that that's wrong. So do I apologize. You are the gurus in this room. Just to run

through, by the way, running credibility here. Esther is the editor of Women's Running magazine, the host of Women's Running Podcast. It's also a brilliant runner and has a gazillion medals. Meanwhile, Mike is a pro when it comes to testing all the running kit and tech. He's one of YouTube's run testers. He also writes about kit and tech for GQ, men's health, men's fitness, tons of others.
