Oops Stu did it again, got lost in the woods, endangered his friends...

There's also plenty of running icks in this episode, Amy scales a mountain and wishes she hadn't, and we shit all over the Lisbon half, which by the sound of things is certainly not the first time.

Our 150th episode spectacular doesn't feature AMAZING guests, WILD stories, or HUGE competitions, it's just the same old nonsense.

Stu has been questioning his sanity, nearly drowning in mud, learnt how to do CPR, and actually went to the gym while Amy went for a run.

There's also another thrilling religious running update. 

We're joined by the Feminist Sociologist of Sport Bethan Taylor-Swaine who is right up our street doing research into all the awful things about running we love talking about.

Meanwhile, we discuss an alternative fuelling method, running with the Mafia, Stewart's ego, and Amy talks for a long time about shoe colours insisting she doesn't care about them.

We're sorry about the title of the episode, and yes the story is pretty bad, even by our standards.

Amy is being gaslit by social media, but in a very specific way, and Stu accidentally invents a new form of age grading at races.

Why is everyone doing shakeout runs all of a sudden,  and what happened to recovery runs? We don't answer these questions and more in this episode.

We talk about our own fairly reasonable plans for 2025 and many of your stupid plans for 2025, and look forward when we hear the tale of how they inevitably go wrong.

The world's premier "nearly shitting yourself while running" podcast returns for the last time this year, and we're here to tell you 2024 was bullshit.

We've got lots of your bullshit, lots of our own bullshit, and our favourite bullshit news of the year.

Stewart sings.

This weekend Stu succeeded putting on a race and Amy failed to finish it.

There's also toe nail cringe, polesplaining, Amy getting chased by a dog, more slagging off of influencers, and breaking topological news from Norfolk.

Amy has a tale to tell. It's not about running, but when has that ever stopped her?

We celebrate the return of the Man, the Myth, the Legend at the New York Marathon, complain even more about influencers, do some racing and have a generally lovely times out on the trails, even if some of the trails aren't really trails.

We can't believe we haven't talked about menopause before, so we're putting that right with the fantastic Jane Pangbourne who is all about the no bullshit approach.

There's also tales of a very sad race recce followed by the race itself, which was actually a lot of fun, some Australian things, "Ladies", and a very severe Code Brown, which led to Amy shaming herself (but not like that)...

Various illnesses might have delayed this one but don't worry, we give you all the fun details.

We switch funny run club names for funny Australian names, wonder if everyone in South Korea wear moon boots, run up and down hills a bit, and really get into Strava's latest and most bizarre feature update yet.
