Another Chat GBT episode - where the listeners ask the questions and Gary and Ben take it wherever it goes.

From early chat about weather, Covid and Gary’s obsession with sniffing freshly made wooden gates, things eventually get into running - including a proper discussion around the TCS London Marathon potentially moving to a two-day format and what that means for the sport.

Listener questions cover the Leeds United running kit, thoughts on brand collaborations, whether RUNcensored would ever do one, and a push to get Hannah Cox from Project Salt Run on the podcast.

Gary also gives an update on his Fellsman training, and the lads share which running Instagram accounts they actually enjoy following.

The episode finishes with the TOP 5 feature - this week focusing on the best running and ultra-related YouTube videos and documentaries (with a few curveballs thrown in).

Looking ahead, RUNcensored Live heads to Oswestry on 17th April, and both Gary and Ben will be at She Ultra on 11th April, organised by Huw Williams - with Gary on socials and Ben bringing the Barnsley Briefcase.

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.

How dirty is too dirty after a race? And would you really go straight from a fell run to a wedding without showering?

In this Chat GBT episode (Gary Ben Trails), we answer your questions - from whether performance nasal strips actually work, to wearing new shoes straight out of the box, and what it really takes to train for VKs (Vertical Kilometre races).

It quickly descends into some properly grim stories from the trail and fell running world - including fell runner James Logue’s infamous towel that’s somehow survived decades without seeing a wash.

We also get into running icks, Ben’s chaotic messaging habits across every platform going, apps beyond Strava like MapRun and Navi Tabi, and finish with a Top 5 guilty pleasures in running list that gets weird fast.

Unfiltered, honest, and exactly what you’ve come to expect from RUNcensored.

Ever wondered who’s responsible for all those little moving dots during races like The Spine Race?

In this episode of RUNcensored we’re joined by James Thurlow from OpenTracking – the company behind the GPS tracking used at many of the UK’s biggest trail and ultrarunning events including The Spine Race, Northern Traverse, The Fellsman and Arc of Attrition.

James explains how OpenTracking grew from tracking small cycling events to managing thousands of devices across major endurance races. We talk about the evolution of dot watching, why reliable tracking matters for safety and race management, and how the technology has changed the way races operate.

We also get into some of the stories behind the system: runners accidentally taking trackers home, devices running out of battery in the early days, messages that convinced runners not to quit, and the moment OpenTracking had to shut down messaging during The Spine Race after abuse was directed at runner Sarah Porter.

It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the infrastructure that now underpins modern ultrarunning.

If you’ve ever refreshed a tracker map at 3am during The Spine Race, this one’s for you.

Ben’s just landed back from Transgrancanaria and there’s plenty to unpack.

In this episode of RUNcensored, Gary House and Ben Mounsey talk about two of Europe’s biggest trail running events - The North Face Transgrancanaria and Ultra Trail Snowdonia by UTMB.

We also dive into the bigger conversation currently happening in the UK trail scene: the newly released routes for Ultra Trail Snowdonia. Gary explains the history of the event, why the routes have changed, and the frustration and debate that’s followed.

Expect race stories, behind-the-scenes insights from major events, brand activations, podium performances, and the usual RUNcensored mix of honesty and running chat.

We go behind the scenes at the Montane Winter Spine Race.

This week we’re joined by Mel Sykes from the media team at The Spine Race to talk about the reality of running and working on one of the toughest ultras in the world. From long days in brutal conditions to the pressure of turning content around quickly, this is the side of races most people never see.

We chat about the runners, media and support crews, the growing demand for race content, strange things runners do in ultras, and whether being on camera changes the experience.

Plus: audience questions, checkpoint food debates, death threats, and whether Mel would ever run and work on the Spine again at the same event.

We also chat about upcoming races like The Fellsman and future Spine plans, including an entry for next year from previous podcast guest Ellis Bland.

Raw, honest, and very RUNcensored.

Winter trail running is fun… until it isn’t.

Gary House and Ben Mounsey share gripping, funny, and sometimes terrifying stories from the UK trails and fells. From hypothermia in races to rescuing lost hikers and strangers in the Lake District, this episode is packed with essential lessons in kit, preparation, and accountability.

The lads break down the gear you actually need for winter runs - like waterproofs, hand warmers, bivy bags, and microspikes - while sharing personal tales of dehydration, navigation mishaps, and racing extremes. And one of them (guess who!) also recounts the unforgettable moment of waking up in an emergency tent full of semi-naked men.

If you want real-life trail running advice, survival tips, and laughs along the way, this one’s for you.
