Sorry for missing last week, the boys catch up on the last few weeks of action and go through what they've been up to for the last 14 days.

A crazy busy weekend of racing to roundup this week with news from another super fast British women’s marathon time over in the States, there’s the Amsterdam marathon to talk about, alongside the Great South Run, Peterborough Half, Manchester Half, Bath Half and loads more!

 

Josh returns to racing with a solid outing at the Great South Run, his short choice is questionable though.

 

Shane goes to Peterborough half as he continues his build to Malaga, it's fair to say he finds the last three miles a bit of a struggle.

 

While Aaron is back to a 100 mile week, featuring a 25 mile long run, however his roundup 600m to get him above 100 for the week goes against his recent rant about rounding up.

 

Have a good week.

Welcome to episode 106, the small event of another marathon world record to discuss this week as we talk all things Chicago, plus there’s all the action for the National Road Relays to cover.

 

Kelvin Kiptum's two-hour run needs a debrief so we're here with all the facts you need to know (and many you don't).

 

Shane and Aaron managed to hook up for a midweek session of 8 x 1k on/off or if you prefer 16k in/out, or if you prefer 16k wave tempo.

 

Josh is back into the mileage and also playing games that are usually reserved for the playground, but I suppose that is the level to match his mental age.

 

Enjoy IJP

Episode 105 is here and there's plenty to cover with news from the inaugural world running road champs in Riga alongside the usual segments such as our training week recaps and a listener question or two.

This week we are joined live on the show by Dublin Half Marathon winner, Aoife Cleary. Aoife might not be a name you’re too familiar with, but in winning the Dublin half marathon the weekend before last wearing what looked like a floral yellow jacket, pink headband and beats style headphones, she certainly made an impression. 

We ask her all about her unique approach to running and even convinced her to come out to Malaga in December to run the half.

Enjoy

A crazy week in the world of running with an astonishing new women's marathon world record in Berlin.

 

We do our best to recap all the action from the week along with all the usual segments.

Episode 103 is here. Loads of action to recap with the final of the diamond league in Eugene, a fast half marathon in Copenhagen, 10k action from Swansea and a swift 5k in Battersea.

 

Josh ramped up his training again this week and despite an achilles scare managed his biggest week to date in his comeback.

 

Shane got locked out of his car after a wedding, so can only detail a solid Monday to Friday of training.

 

While Aaron returns to back to the top of the IJP hosts mileage leaderboard, which encouragingly showed some signs of fitness starting to take shape.

 

Thanks for listening.

Plenty to talk about this week with news from Mo Farah’s finale at the Great North Run, British wins at the Fifth Avenue mile in New York, and a roundup of some late-season track action.

 

Josh is back in action at the Welsh Relays and despite the heat, he battled his way to a respectable finishing team and helping his team to a podium finish.

 

Shane continues his build up to Malaga and despite the dew point being high he cracks through a decent enough week of training.

 

Aaron reverts to his old way and misses a couple of days of training, but despite the humidity he backloads his week without too many issues.

Have a good one.

Episode 101 is here and much like the 100 before it, we're back to chat some more nonsense about all things running.

Aaron is back up towards 90 miles of running this week. Much like every other week that means a session at the cricket pitch and a session on the tready.

Josh continues his build back towards his first race back. Much like every other week that means absolutely smashing a session and calling it "threshold" pace.

Shane gets some more base miles done in his build for Malaga marathon. Much like every other week that means running a bit hungover and getting to 90 mins of a long run and realising he doesn't have the mental capacity to cope with much more.

Have a good week.

A big week in the world of running to catch up on as the world champs kicked off in Budapest. Whilst we recorded, the men's 1500m final was on so we cut to that live mid-show!

 

Josh is increasing the volume and intensity with a couple of solid sessions, he also makes a flying visit home to attend a family BBQ.

 

Shane is increasing his aerobic volume with some lengthy sessions at around marathon intensity and a decent long run.

 

Aaron is increasing his time spent with Eliza racking up the mileage around the zoo. He at least runs every day to continue that streak.

Have a good one.

This week there's a roundup of the domestic action, including some fast 5k’s in Cardiff, Gateshead and Manchester. Plus, we look ahead to the upcoming World Champs which start on Saturday.

Josh is building his mileage slowly and even does an easy run this week where his first mile is slower than a 7:30, he quickly dismisses it though and finishes with a 5:30 mile.

Shane has had a terrible week, probably due to his crazy week of running the week before last. He decides to take a few days off and contemplate how he's going to cope as he progresses through his 30s.

Aaron is the king of the mileage again, but has a disrupted weekend and can't complete another 70-odd mile week. He does manage to run every day of the week again, so that's 18 days of continuous running now.

Enjoy
