Big week coming at you as all three of us have been racing in some shape or form this weekend gone. In a week that saw Lewis Hamilton lose his F1 title on the final lap to Max Verstappen, Matt Clowes also saw victory slip away in the final few hundred metres of his 10k in Telford, thanks to his old wheels having too much degradation in them compared to his young rivals.

 

We’ve got the European XC champs to talk through, Josh and Matt have been racing in Telford, Aaron's ran a questionable half in Milton Keynes, and we’ve got all the usual segments, plus a new one which Clowesy unveils live on show.

 

Apologies that we recorded a day late, Josh is preparing for his flight across the pond and wasn’t back until late Sunday night, by which time Matt was already in bed and Aaron was on childcare duties.

 

If anyone did our session from social last week then please do let us know!

 

Have an average one,

 

Aaron, Matt & Josh

In a week where a mystery man arrived at A&E in Gloucester with a world war two shell stuck up his bottom, Josh also dropped a few bombs of his own, in the form of Jaeger during his Christmas party in Cardiff.

Josh had a solid week of training, but ruined his session on Saturday with a few too many Rose flavoured Tequila shots on Friday evening. He's late to the pod again, thanks to being stuck on another train back from Cardiff, all because he's sold his car to fund his new pro lifestyle.

Matt has been feeling the fatigue after his 28:58 10k and has a few things to say about the great British weather. He has a live whatsapp from Dan Weston who lets us all know why the sun appears to look the same size as the Sun when looking at them both from Earth.

Aaron doesn't start his training week until the Tuesday evening after a few busy days in the office, but recaps another couple of grass sessions ahead of his half in MK next week. He also details a trip to a brothel after his Frankfurt marathon PB in 2018.

We've tagged on the most recent episode of training talk with Jake Smith, which gets released every Tuesday on Patreon, so enjoy!

Thanks for the support.

Aaron, Matt & Josh

Welcome to Episode 28 of Inside Jogging Podcast, it's a big one!

 

Plenty to crack through, we discuss plenty of miles in our training weeks, we thank our patreons, go to some listener questions and cover the latest news including results at the European XC trials in Liverpool, and some moaning about the lack of coverage.

 

Matt has been casually dropping a 28 minute 10k on the roads in Wilmslow. He talks through his interest in bitcoin and stumbles over some tricky names. Josh is boarding a train back to Peterborough but whilst sheltering from the public in the toilet, he admits to watching Ariana Grande videos in his spare time. Aaron is back nearly hitting 100 miles for the week, but like Matt has been struggling with his general athleticism. He's not sure if his thick tash and speedos was the correct choice for swimming with Eliza and the other mums on Thursday.

 

We’ve also got an interview with 2:29 marathoner and 15th place finisher at London Marathon Rose Harvey!

 

Have a good week,

Aaron, Matt and Josh xoxo

In a week that’s seen parts of Europe heading back into lockdown, Matt has also had Josh locked down on an enforced rest week. 

Matt's been feeling the dreaded winter fatigue and is struggling a bit for motivation, but still manages to knock out a swift little session on the weekend. Aaron's been running more this week than he has for a long time, although his Sunday is hampered somewhat by childcare issues. While Josh is adamant that he feels worse off an 80 mile week than he does a 120 mile week, be sure to stay tuned for scientific insights into his training...

We’ll do the usual and talk through our weeks and see whether Josh has obeyed the draconian measures. We’ll also thank some patrons, answer some listener questions, discuss what’s been happening in the world of running in the past 7 days, and then we’ve got an interview with the 3rd fastest British female marathon runner of all time, Charlotte Purdue.

Have an average week,

Aaron, Matt and Josh xoxo

Big week to crack through on our 6 month birthday, as we go through our weeks, look at the Strava leaderboard, there’s a big announcement on how you can support the show, we answer some listener questions, go into the latest running news and after all of that have a brilliant interview with the host of Inside Running Podcast, Brady Threlfall.

 

In a week that’s seen our leaders talk about reducing carbon emissions, Josh has upped his carbon footprint with a few fast laps in his Next %s around Battersea. He's been smashing a couple of sessions out the park, stay tuned to see if Clowesy is pleased with this, or whether he's concerned that he's pushing too soon.

 

Matt’s been knocking out some super quick reps around the Wrexham industrial estate loops, and also been getting lost in London. He gets so lost this week that he has to get a cable car over the Thames to get him back to his original destination.

 

Aaron's had a ticking off by a man who paints the lines at the cricket pitch, but his training is back on the up. Eliza still isn't sleeping through the night, but thanks to some advice from Matt, he might start mixing the milk bottle with a bit of Bailey's to keep her going through the night.

 

Have a great week legends,

Aaron, Matt and Josh

Another quicker show this week, as Josh has been racing in Reading, Aaron is a busy man trying to look after his daughter and Matt is selling something somewhere.

We do our usual weekly recaps, talk through New York and Barcelona marathons and recap some domestic results.

Quiet one for once this week, as not much running news to go off. We discuss our training weeks, answer some listener questions, and Aaron gets regularly interrupted by trick or treaters.

Another big week coming at you, as there’s been a marathon in Rotterdam, a big 10k in Leeds and a world record over the half in Valencia. We answer some listener questions, discuss our training weeks and then we’ve got an excellent interview with Becky Briggs, who posted the second fastest u23 UK marathon of all time at London a couple of weeks ago.

Matt just about makes the podcast this week as he's a busy guy. His image is put to good use on the front of the Newport 10k t-shirts and he's been busy battling the drizzle of Wales. He's not entirely sure what a stiff breeze is, maybe he should come to the fens to experience it.

Josh is up and at it, now he's put his computer controller away he's even more unbearable than before. He talks us through tempo runs in the dark and why everyone should run hard on easy runs. His calves are looking in good shape, and he talks Clowesy through how to do isometric holds.

Aaron is back and finally hit a 100km week, he's even been hitting the gym with Josh. If ever you want to see a pathetic sight then it's well worth watching some content of Aaron and Josh lifting. He's gearing up for a big weekend ahead of Eliza's 1st birthday, when he won't be giving her a bottle of JD despite Clowesy's recommendation.

Have a middle of the road week, listeners xoxo

Big week coming at you as we talk to the new King of London and 2:12 man, Phil Sesemann. We chat about his build up, what it was like on race day, plus get the scoop on his big new sponsorship deal with dog food brand Skinners.

Matt has been getting stuck into some sewing this week, trying to repair a coat or something along those lines. He's already back knocking out sub 5 minute pace tempos, that's despite consuming a Lindor ball or two a day.

Josh is back in Peterborough and completed his first week of running post marathon. He's on a mission to get hench this winter, so has been frequenting a friends local gym, but worrying has been doing his exercises in just a pair of lycra shorts and a pair of Invicibles.

Aaron is also on the road to recovery and completed a week of over 50 miles at an average of sub 7s! He's delighted to have Josh back in town, but is worried that Josh is in fact the mystery fly tipper of Wrexham and brought his dirty habit across the country with him.

There's the usual listener questions and news roundups, where the boys divert onto many tangents, such as how long to moths coccoon for?

Have a terrible week, people. IJP 😉 (Matt's emoji of choice)

Back again, with a shorter show for once as all three of us are still in recovery mode for one reason or another. I think this is the lowest ever combined mileage training week, so instead we recap the marathon in Manchester, Chicago and Boston and answer some listener questions.

Josh Lunn must have the sorest thumbs in Britain from all the DM’ing he’s been doing since the great social media blackout, and after his many London marathon posts. He once again got locked out of his flat this week and now thinks he's a master in breaking and entering. He also discusses his diet this week and gets into trouble with Matt for his unscheduled gym work.

Matt Clowes is adjusting back to the running life after 9 days off running, he ponders why there's so much toilet roll in lay-by's and has been busy blagging himself a new job. He also delights Aaron by admitting he does love cats after all, with a particular shining to little Suzie.

Aaron Scott has been on a stag do in Newcastle and once again failed to complete a week of running. He performed poorly in the beer mile, but thinks maybe the alcohol related events might have helped kickstart is Seville marathon training block. 

Right, that's what we've got, we will be doing some guest interviews this week, so stay tuned for some more interesting content soon.

Love you lots, IJP.
