A proper mixed bag this week - from trail running headlines to full-on orienteering chaos in Edinburgh, plus a look behind the curtain at brand-led running trips.

Gary and Ben chat through some of the latest stories, including a bizarre Strava incident involving a French aircraft carrier heading to Iran and a standout canicross 5K world record. There’s also a measured look at recent developments around Ourea Events and what it could mean for races like the Northern Traverse, with early signs of runners already heading back out on the route thanks to James Elson stepping in.

Then it’s onto the Old Town Showdown in Edinburgh, presented by SportsShoes' Quid Games and British Orienteering. Expect fast decisions, chaotic racing, clever course design from Edinburgh University Orienteering Club, and a rapid 30-minute winning run from Finley Todd.

There’s chat around local advantage, prize strategy, and the unique atmosphere these events create, plus a few hints about what might be coming next

Ben also shares his experience testing the Mizuno Neo Accera in Gran Canaria and gives his take on modern trail shoe tech and brand launch events.

Real talk, real running, no filter.
