Welcome to the running podcast where three mates from Birmingham swap miles for mics and share more than just blisters! Ben Blakeman, Jake Ramsey & Mike Duffy, a trio at very different points on their running journeys, but all equally skilled at dodging training plans and telling a good story.

The lads are back…but apparently running took the week off too.

With zero parkrun chaos and no race-day disasters to report, the team decided to do the only sensible thing: invent completely unnecessary running-themed games to test each other’s so-called “knowledge.”

Expect questionable trivia, competitive nonsense, and at least one moment where someone says, “How did we end up here?”

And speaking of going off-track… there’s also a gloriously off-topic deep-dive where the lads get philosophical, emotional, and possibly even existential. We’re not sure why either — but it happened.

Grab a cuppa, settle in, and enjoy the most running podcast episode with the least actual running content ever recorded
