About this episode

This week on RunPod, Jenni is joined by none other than Michelin Star Chef Paul Ainsworth, who’s travelled all the way from beautiful Padstow to share his passion for running and how it fuels his life.

Paul, a big fan of RunPod (he even manifested being on the show!), believes that your health is your wealth. He shares how running helps him be the best version of himself—for his kids, his wife, and his thriving restaurant businesses.

With a career shaped by culinary legends like Gordon Ramsay, and Marcus Wareing, Paul knows all about discipline and determination, and values that translate seamlessly into his fitness journey.

Tune in for an inspiring chat about life, health, and the mindset that’s taken him from the kitchen to the running trail—and why he thinks running is the secret ingredient to success.
