Episode 82 is here and it's our final ever episode - I know - how will you ever cope?!

We love you all very much but sometimes it's best to end on a high. Both Anna and Allie will be back doing their own thing before you know it, and we will do a smooshy post this week. We really appreciate all your support and hope you've enjoyed the ride! ANYWAY, this week Allie and Damo are chatting about green guilt, how brilliant Sarah Perry is, and Damo launches his new totally made-up venture He Races. Isn't it about time men got the special treatment they deserve? Lucky for him its launched during the final episode because it is, frankly, career ending. We would ask you to send in your questions, thoughts, and feelings but we're shutting the shop doors so please don't.

We love you - thank you for listening and see you on the flipside!

Episode 81 is here and it features an in-depth investigation into why the media is telling us we either DO hate running or we SHOULD hate running in order to be good at it. Why is it only running that's being discriminated against and not other sports? Do YOU hate running but do it anyway? Bailey and Reade showcase the piss-boiling evidence and discuss the possible reasons around this utter nonsense. There's also some correspondence from you lovely people and a saucy chat about womens sexy running underwear (it's not saucy, we just put that in for the search hits)

Episode 80 is here and it's a belter with Allie and Paul chatting about rain (very British) builders (very British) and health and safety (very boring) BUT FEAR NOT there's some good chat too, including how to work out if your race company is a good race company, and a note from our former podcast pet Dean who is NOT happy about his latest race experience. Do you think it is fair to allow some runners/walkers certain food and not others? Have you had an experience with a race company you would like to chat to us about? Send over your voice notes or emails - we would love to hear from you! Just a warning, this podcast does contain chat about wrapping children and aid stations in cling film.

In this Legends episode Allie chats to Darren Evans, a man who went from being a butcher to a being a founding member of The Green Runners, as well as being the dude who invented Pair Ups.

Allie and Darren discuss how he got into the running world and what it was that made him so aware of the need for changing the way we treat our environment and consumption around running. Darren also crewed Dan Lawson on his successful Three Peaks world record run in August and talks about how that went, and what he gets out of helping other people.

Episode 77 is here with our good friend Mr Damian Hall who has been out and about waving his special flag in the Aosta valley whilst also over performing, undereating and making big race companies feel uncomfortable about their high carbon sponsors.

There's the usual Hall of Fame/Hall of Shame plus the return of the best feature ever, "Know It Hall" featuring the Pennine Way. In addition, like a cherry on a lightly disappointing cake, we've also got some correspondence in the corner from you lovely people.

Episode 76 is a bit of a special one, as we welcome back our very own Queen of the Mountain Kirsty Reade, fresh off the finish line of the 330km beast that is the Tor Des Geantes.

We talk about the race of a lifetime, how she trained, what it was really like, the highs and lows, hallucinations and aid stations and everything in between - plus is there something that happened that needs to be investigated? WE THINK SO.

Episide 74 coming atcha, with a full statement from guest host Paul Albon on WHY HE WAS WRONG about not having time to train because of his twins.

OK maybe the statements not about that, but this week we dive into the language debate and what makes the language used around male and female roles when it comes to training so divisive. There's also chat about dynamic pricing (STILL) and make sure you check out Paul's events for the rest of the year before he decides to start upping the prices.

Episode 74 finds Holly in the French Pyrenees training for Amsterdam Marathon, and Allie back at home prepping for Tor des Géants crewing and trying not to cry.

This week's episode has some very useful nuggets in it, including understanding why people train at altitude, our opinions on why the male elite DNF rate was so high at UTMB and we answer the questions when is training too much training. There's also a great conversation about how to find a decent running coach - we're not trying to sell ourselves, but we are both FANTASTIC.T
