September 17, 2019 Running and hallucinations
Ever run so hard and so far that you've seen weird things? It's a fairly common occurrence for those who race long distance so we thought we'd get two such people in for chat about running and hallucinations. Gracing us with their presence once more, James Poole and Susie Chan talk about the funny and down-right dangerous side of what happens when your brain starts playing tricks on you during ultra marathons.
WARNING: Rick mentions that he's done an ultra, again.

September 10, 2019 Social media and the rise of exercise addiction
The modern era of running is a complicated place to exist and the rise of social media has also led to an increase in people suffering from exercise addiction. We spoke to sports psychologist Dr Josie Perry about the positives and negatives that social media can have on your running and how best to approach your online existence when it comes to training and racing.
Andy and Ben discuss 'Why We Run' and share the reasons why they decided to start running (we want to hear your stories too) and as Kerry and Jane are both away, Andy and Ben deliver some record breaking running news that will also have you reaching for your toothbrush.
