Big week coming at you as we get a full race debrief from Josh Lunn after his little jog around the streets of London.

His 14th place finish at London means he has the highest place finish at a marathon major amongst the other hosts, so he is now officially king of the pod... well for a few months anyway.

Just before we went to record, the world has imploded, with WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram all going down. So we won't be able to promote this show much yet, other than pushing it out on iTunes, Spotify, and all other podcast platforms.

For now then, that'll do. I'll post more when the social networks return, and Josh can get back DM'ing.

Episode 19 is here, day later than usual as we let Matt come off his IV drip and recover a little before interrogating him.

 

As you might have seen, things didn’t go quite to plan for Matthew Clowes in Berlin, who like many others struggled in the humidity. Matt discusses his race in detail and despite being disappointed with the outcome is still thankfully in one piece. Look, he’s still our hero and that final 2.2k of his shows the depths he can go to when the going gets tough.

 

Josh Lunn manages to irritate Matt more than that 35-40k of his marathon did, as Josh tells us how he has been up late playing his silly games and wants to start doing yoga during his final week of the taper.

 

Aaron Scott is on the mend, and nearly hits 50 miles for the week. He’s seen the doc this week, who has given the green light to continue training at a low intensity, so is ready to start planning for Seville marathon in February.

 

Thanks for downloading people, and remember when the going gets tough, drink some Maurten.

Episode 18 is live, and we talk through all the important topics of the week, such as how you pronounce brands such as Bose and Ritter Sport (other electronic and confectionary brands are available). We also go deep into our milk preferences, so if you want to learn some valuable insights into Josh’s ‘intolerances’ then you won’t want to miss this show.

Matt’s fully into his taper now and wonders why the people of Wrexham are so keen on Fosters. We learn about his chocolate intake per week (basically a lot of Lindor balls), and we link his taper into listener questions this week, so go through all your race week taper queries.

Josh has been racing again in Swansea, he talks us through his hair dye colour of choice, his thoughts on full tracksuit runs and learn the revelation that he has never had a kebab before. Josh spends the show doing a range of weird stretches, much to the distraction of the others, so apologies for the bad radio it produces.

Aaron’s had a poorly daughter this week, so on Matt’s advice is considering reducing her alcohol intake to singles moving forwards. He’s been up to watch the Northern Road Relays in Redcar, done a little bit of running and is keen to kick start his running career again now he’s feeling a bit more normal.

Enjoy the show, people, and have a bang average week.

Episode 17 is here and it's a big one as we finally catch up with John Beattie and talk all things Great North Run.

Josh has been practicing his marathon effort in Newcastle, but got very distracted by the big boys lining up. He spent more time fangirling Stewy McSweyn than he did playing his silly games on the computer this weekend, which says it all.

Matt finished off his last big week of training with two quality sessions, but more importantly he fills us in on his review of a flat white in a can, in addition to updating us on his fruit harvest this week. Matt puts out an appeal for people to grow up and stop using acronymns in text and in life... FML he is hardwork.

Aaron has had a bit more discussion with the GP's on his health issues, but helps read out Josh's week of training, due to Josh being in the car whilst recording. He is not best pleased with Josh still wearing spikes on the track for his marathon sessions, but the question is, will Josh ever take note?

Thank you for all your 5 star reviews last week, feel free to comment a review too if you get two minutes spare and can think of anything useful. All of this will help us reach even more people, which should help us be able to bring you more great content ideas we have such as the tales of the farmers dog, or soiled pants weekly. 

On that note, we’d love it if you tag fellow runners when we post out this show on social, if you don’t that’s of course your choice, but what I will say is that i’ll think much less of you as a person. We haven’t quite come up with the right idea for thanking our listeners just yet, as Clowesy is too busy to provide home delivery of his fruit produce, so drop us a message if you have any ideas, maybe some merch or a spot in Josh’s computer game team.

The Juggernaut keeps rolling, as Matthew Clowes completes the "Grand Slam" of Wrexham with a win at the Village Bakery Half Marathon (Run Cheshire). Excellent talk from Matt this week, as he details why Costa Coffee makes such a bad flat white, and pushes for a sponsorship deal from Lindt in discussing his love for Lindors.

 

Josh Lunn has been trying to put his bad experience in Antrim behind him as he pushes out another 100 mile plus week in his build up to London Marathon. He discusses his ability to relieve himself effectively during sessions, and gets dropped by Dan Osborn-Nash on his weekend 24 miler. He might be off to Barcelona for a romantic weekend with his Bowerman Track Club boys, he's so big time...

 

While Aaron Scott is still struggling, maybe it's time to just put him down.

 

We answer a whole host of listener questions, giving poor insight into topics such as who is the @stravawanker, Dan your secret is safe with us, mate.

 

Have an average week, people. Keep that heart rate low, and give us a 5 star review on iTunes.

This week we talk through Josh’s trip over to Northern Ireland for Antrim half, Aaron’s update on his lack of running, and Matt as he goes big in his buildup for Berlin. 

Apologies for recording this show a couple of days late, at the end of the day we’re all blue collar boys on this pod, well Matt maybe is, and had some very busy bank holiday weekend.

Have a good rest of the week, people.

We're back again and we’ve got an action packed show this week, as Clowesy speeds around the streets of London and cements his status as the king of the podcast. 

Josh has been smashing the miles and he’s hit 200km in his last 7 days, which sounds a bit better than 124 miles in the last 7 days. 

We dial into Jake Smith fresh off his race victory at the Big Half and ask whether he needs a trip to Specsavers, as he resorted to asking strangers how far he had to go, instead of using any one of the massive markers by the side of the road.

We’ve got a listener question to tackle, round up some other results from the week, and then call our guest for the week, 28:32 10k man and 2010 commonwealth games representative, John Beattie.

Shorter week again, as Aaron has been very poorly and wasn't able to do the extensive prep that we always do. Interviews will commence again from next week, but for this week you'll have to do with just us.

Josh and Matt have had a romantic weekend away at the England Athletics marathon camp, and recap their training weeks.

There's been the announcement of elite fields at London, which feature our very own Josh Lunn, and we run throught the list of who Josh will be spending 2 hours studying the backside of.

Apologies for the delay in uploading, and please send your messages of love and encouragement to Aaron on social media. Man flu is a very real issue and should be discussed more openly.

Thanks for listening, share it please, and have a terrible week.

The Olympics has come and gone, and it’s been a hectic week trying to catch the action, whilst trying to get some sleep and still putting in the miles. We do the usual and talk through our weeks, catch up on the best of the Olympic action, take some listener questions and generally talk rubbish.

Josh has been busy moving house, although it's debateable he actually did anything, and assures us tiredness and a lack of energy are two separate things. Big session of 16 x 1 mile in the books this week for Josh with his new best friend "the Nasher".

Matt has been midweek long running, knocking out 20+ miles before most of us have even woken up. He's got a niggling achilles still, but at least he knows where his achilles is... unlike some people. He also discusses the farmers dog on the 2 mile Redwick loop, be sure to listen in to find out what he named it.

Aaron has finally managed a half decent week of training, thanks to two long runs on coaching duties. He tried out a new long run session on Saturday and is keen to get Matt's thoughts on it. Plus, he's still busy trying to work out which marathon he should run this Autumn.

Give it a listen, give us a review, send us your feedback, and share the pod!

Have a beautiful week, people.

Episode 11 is here, as the Olympics gets under way, so does the boys marathon prep. Download all good podcast providers, and some terrible ones too - https://linktr.ee/insidejoggingpodcast

 

Matt has been dropping some outrageous marathon sessions this week, completing a 12 mile session in under an hour. He wants to start a campaign to clear up the UK footpaths, and gives us his thoughts on finding soiled pants out in the middle of nowhere on his runs.

 

Josh thinks he's in 2:13 shape again and is bullish about his philosphies on training, despite pressure from Aaron to change his ways. He's nine weeks out from London and has hit his first 100 mile week of the training block.

 

Aaron has had another week of not doing much, but promises to get back into the swing of things next week. He's been busy betting on the Olympics, in the hope he wins big and can put Eliza through life. He lets Matt know why cereal was invented, and is want an IRP v IJP marathon smackdown.

 

 

Thanks for downloading people, keep sharing the pod, and as always have an average week!
