Running is BS

We've both done a race, and they couldn't have been much more different! If you like it hard or you like it slow, you're in the right place.

We also deliver a lot of good advice to race organisers using our vast knowledge of how to put on a race, as well as chat on medals, squirrels both in the head and in the hand, Michael Flatley and how to steal a toilet.

There was a horse incident, but we lived to tell the tale.

Stu almost didn't live to tell the tale of his race, and Amy nearly got stuck in the Brecon Beacons. Just normal running stuff, right?

We're knackered but still manage to wang on for over an hour about running being stupid and hard and stupid.

Amy is appalled that her long run included so much running and Stewart got chased by bloodhounds. Standard weekend.

We get into what elements make the very best and very worst race websites. We've all seen them, used them, and for some reason entrusted our bank details to them.

Apologies for the audio quality for most of it, that was Amy's fault. The cover photo is entirely Stu's fault, but we're not sorry about that.

Otherwise we've got a Stu-heavy, fairly ranty episode including 'carpet-bag' race companies, European tea and running in snow. Don't worry, Amy's life of a series of random events continues with long run drama and instant karma.

Stu's feeling ill again so has asked for your stories of being ill to make himself feel better.

Amy wangs on about dog owners again, we warn against the perils of parkrun, and make cheap jokes about the UK economy. We also trail news of Amy's eventual podcast replacement...

Breaking the myths and stigmas of the world's most popular exercise - this episode's tagline written by an AI.

We turn over bits of the script to an AI to save us some time, and it almost works! Amy's brain also generates some running-adjacent anecdotes.

We speak to running coach Gary House about the Dragon's Back, online coaching, and why nobody cares about your running.

We're back with more bullshit than before! Or the same amount, or less, we don't have a metric for that.

Both ill over Christmas, but still out there doing things to keep you entertained. We run through our plans for the year ahead and cannot believe how optimistic we've been.

Also Raynaud's, arse gravy, bad human etiquette, big bans, and the strangest running related product we've seen

Don't you hate it when your favourite podcast does a live episode? Well, that's what we did!

This is a BUMPER edition of bullshit including guests Nicola Forwood, Matt Garner, Rhys Jenkins and Hannah Phillips.

We also get into cliché inspiration, running advent calendars, falling over, holiday flexing, birds, inline skating, teeth and death.

And we announce our free race place winners! Hope you've got a long run booked in... 

We've entered a race! Doesn't sound like a huge deal, but we're super looking forward to this one, despite it's very dubious premise.

There's a whole lot of cheating going on it seems, and we still really really don't get it.

Don't forget to email us for a chance to get a free race entry!

We did RACES. Stories from the back, stories from the... front? What's going on?

Announcement! Competition! Mental shoes! This episode has these things in.

Also results rage, strava rage and maggot rage. Gross.
