Running is BS

We're tired, so tired. Stewart is because he can't stop racing and Amy is because it's 3pm and she hasn't had a nap.

Our guest Clare tells us all about orienteering and why you should give it a bash.

We also discuss many bodily fluids, injuries, Neher's Law, more infuriating research, and the Fyre Festival of trail runs. 

Apologies to all the horsey people, but horsey people we are not.

Stu is still doing ALL the races and Amy is still doing NONE of the races as we discuss 'oh shit pace', running dates, an utter lack of sympathy for our fellow runners, and why did it have to be snakes?

Sigh, another ultra, whatever, no one cares anymore.

Saturday races may or may not be terrible, failed runs definitely are, mansplaining also is. We hear a chilling anxiety dream come to life, bruised souls, and we finish on a story that will make you run a bit slower due to nausea. Not sorry.

We return to the world of Hollywood, or rather the world of Christian straight-to-Youtube and Indian cinema for more spoiler filled reviews of running films: Remember the Goal and Budhia Singh - Born to Run.

Some classic early ranting, dog chat, banana fury, awkward running, mansplaining, and the absolute worst food to be given at an ultra.

And poo.

The podcast that loves to hate running!

Huge thank you to our guest for talking us through the surprisingly secretive world of naked running!

We open up with the rant you deserve, not the rant you needed, work through some gym revelations, see some more arses, and finish with veiled threats to wildlife.

Stu has been racing and has a LOT to get off his chest and complain about.

Amy, less so.

Gym wankers, sports bra propositions, delayed starts, bad pacing, inappropriate Instagram messages, tiny balls, and no news.

We get hit with more of Amy's Irrational Anger on this episode as other people dare to exist in her vicinity.

We play a bit of 'would you rather', read out praise about ourselves, talk about mad race kits, and, inevitably, poo.

Does anyone read these episode descriptions?

In this episode we tell women not to tell women what to do and Amy tells us why her luxurious lifestyle means this episode is four days late.

Stu did some running, but then decided chocolate was better. There's also a strong animal theme with discussion of dogs at parkrun, dogs in airbnbs, gnats, and the best funny-not-funny news stories we've ever had.

CW: We discuss women's safety including mentions of assault and violence.

Amy and Stewart are at the age where they're complaining to the council about lampposts and bins. It happens to us all.

Loosely running related topics also include shit gyms, calf freshness, which part of someone would you eat first, grotesquely drawn running tribes and dog shit. Also, uh, can we have you liver?

We have an actual announcement to make about our favourite tea brewers, Bird & Blend Tea! Check out runningisBS.com/tea
