Running is BS

Our yearly review of the year, and you guessed it, it was bullshit.

Naturally, we bring you more exciting tea updates, and talk about Amy's ludicrously cute puppy Finley and how much he shits and has ruined her life.

We talk about our new year's resolutions (don't hold your breath), and recap the Bullshit Running News that caught our eye during the year.

AND there's a new way to support Running is Bullshit - Patreon.

Well Amy hasn't been running, but that's no longer a big deal as Stu can't stop racing for some reason.

We have double guest action with Gary Damer and Dean Smith from Behind the Medal podcast, who definitely love running and swearing more than us! 

We give you top dogging tips, and all we ask in return is your opinion on what Bullshit Tea should taste like. It makes more sense if you listen rather than reading this tbh...

Another episode, another week where Amy hasn't run, but don't worry you won't be disappointed by the reason.

Our guest is Kerrie Aldridge, one of the pack of the back runners at the 2019 London Marathon who were so mistreated. We find how she got started and why she's going back to London. You can also find out more about her amazing charity work here: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram

The best three weekly podcast that loves to hate running is back.

There's the usual amount of bullshit, and somewhat inevitably, actual shit to discuss. We talk about American race fees, the 'Great' Runs and arbitrary scoring systems.

Stu had so much to complain about he forgot to mention the extremely minor barbwire injury he got while trail running, but hopefully now you've read this and know about it.

Amy's lack of planning really comes into its own this week as she describes the trail run from hell and Stewart has a lot to get off his chest. We talk about why watching running might not actually be bullshit, but how the World Championships really were, the new way to enter Tough Mudder, and a discussion on what is your price on for shitting yourself at the end of a race.

The only thing worse than running is watching other people running. You know it, we know it, so here it all is.

Episode also features Amy's animal adventures, trollunteering, and Stewart ruining the accessibility of the podcast by not being completely shit.

We want to hear about your rookie running errors, and if you've ever seen non-runners tucking into the post-race food or aid stations! Drop us a line on twitter, facebook or email!

Hear the sad voices of Amy and Stewart as we once again delve into the bullshit world of running. Includes, amongst other things, Theresa May, the legend of Pin Skin Man, Ed Balls and our lovely guest Ella Dove who has the ULTIMATE running injury story.

"There's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes"

BULLSHIT.

Obviously we think that, it's our thing. We also discuss strava "art", pissing in the path, Eliud Kipchoge selling out, and Ed Milliband.

Can anyone beat Pin Skin Man? That's the vital question being asked in this episode. We also discuss sweating, Father Ted, Love island, how to poo and dead sheep. You know, all the important stuff.

Tom Fairbrother joins us for part 2 of his interview to talk about his experience of eating disorders and how we can support our fellow runners.

The #TRAINBRAVE campaign aims to inspire more athletes to share their stories and raise awareness of the risks of eating disorders and RED-s.

We speak to Tom Fairbrother, the disqualified winner of Race to the Stones, about his experience and the most aggressive race strategy you've ever heard of.

Plenty of news, rants and complaint as per usual, and a surprisingly strong defence of Disney races, though not from either of us...

Tom co-founded Train Brave, a campaign to support runners with eating disorders and to raise awareness of this important issue: https://trainbrave.org/
