What's your race strategy? Well, unless it includes gleeful abandon and playful profanity then you're in for a lesson.

The main theme running through this episode was distraction, which can be so important in running. It can also mean you forget what you're doing and disappear down a rabbit hole, but don't worry as Sam, Fran and Dr. Luke will be there already to greet you!

A previous guest returns to give his run replay of the Chester Marathon where he took 10 mins off his Personal Best!

We go through the build up, the planning, the kit and, of course, the race.

The marathon can be a daunting distance but the energy and positivity that Ayo exudes in his approach to this race only makes me excited for the next marathon start line, I hope it does the same for you!

Does AI makes Athlete Incredible? Can losing weight help your running? Find out all this, and more, in this week's episode!

Inspiring, infectious and individual! I chatted to Tasha Thompson, founder of Black Girls Do Run UK, about what, why and how she started running which led to starting BGDRUK in 2019.

This chat epitomises why I do this podcast - runners running out of the pure love for it 💚

Have a listen and brighten up your day, and let's all 'Be More Tasha!'

This week, Dr. Luke offers solid insight by answering Fran's question about the menstrual cycle and how it affects running, shedding some light on the balancing act women face when training for events.

We also report on the latest potential running fad - CBD roll-on - and realise we're half way through the series and the marathons are actually quite soon...

Luke recounts his ultra, Fran likes the idea of an ultra, Sam enjoys hearing about Luke's ultra and imagining Fran running the hills of an ultra.

Double Threshold sessions were on the Fad Menu this week... Fad, Foe, Friend or Fun? Find out all about it, plus the usual chinwagging, in episode 9.

If you've run at an event in London in the last few years then there's a very good chance you've been snapped by Jerry.

His style combines movement, colour and good vibes - and he always manages to catch you on the up-step!

As well as photographing many of the run crews and events across the UK, he's now doing the same at the Diamond League and even in Paris at the time of the Olympics.

In this chat, we discuss how he's developed his own style, what he loves about taking photos and how it all began - as well as some tips for other content creators.

The fads keep on giving, and sometimes taking, but we're dedicated to the cause and bring you more on-the-ground analysis of what to do and what to avoid.

Fran frolics on Italian freeways...

Sam succumbs to compression soreness...

Luke laughs and sets something very topical and with serious injury potential.

But all for the cause - fad, foe, friend or fun...
