Thoughts on a Run

New Marathon PB, who dis? Tears were shed, high fives were had, and burps were yelled. Get the full debrief on the Kirikiriroa Marathon 2026. Hannah cracks open some crisp chat on the aid station hero that is the 35km Coca-Cola. It’s an absolute game changer! Missy keeps it classy with some flush, lush, lavatory locution. Sit down but saddle up, because this is the toilet episode. Just like an airplane toilet it sucks!

Mahalo Hawaii, thanks so much for having us! Hannah doesn’t want to run on sand but she sure does want to run the imminent Kirikiriroa Marathon! Missy keeps her undies on while she posters, plasters, and presents some towering billboard chat. Hannah takes off full tilt on the treadmill with some touchdown talk. That’s right, it’s time for American football “hut!” Yeehaw, let's do it.Warning: Missy absolutely let’s it rip with a class A scream-sneeze (dare you to reply it - it’s truly monstrous).

Hi from Hawaii! This episode may not be tropical, but certainly is topical ;) Hannah spins some plas-tastic chat on the body’s liquid gold as she donates some fast and fun blood plasma facts to the pod. Flowing on from last week’s thought, you can count on Missy to spill the secrets and the seemingly magical memory skills needed to card count in Blackjack. Please go and donate some plasma or blood if you’re able. Failing that, donate some time to bangin’ our podcast in ya ear holes.

THE HUNTLY HALF MARATHON CURSE HAS BEEN BROKEN!!! Some incredible twin magic on this week’s ep. Hannah looks really solid and hits a Huntly PB (yeeeehaaaaw), Missy absolutely hoofs a post-run pie, and Teacup (the neighbours cat) is on the fence. Missy doesn’t do a toot but does let it rip as she (tries) to encode some memorable discussion of memory, ft., some metaphors (because they can be helpful). Hannah rolls through some quick, steely yet creamy, oat-fuelled chat. Shout out to the pace runners and all the weekend half-mara heroes, spurtle this in ya ear holes.

It’s not written in the stars, but breaking the Huntly Half-Marathon curse is certainly on the cards! Hannah is a recycling champion (twice) and Missy overexplains how we manage our yellow bin. Han (symbolically) crosses a line, breaks the tape, and raises high some victorious finishing ribbon chat - get excited. Missy keeps it local as she brews some fizzy facts on the NZ icon that is L&P. Is spectated a word? Regardless, this episode is something worthy of being gazed upon.

Mere weeks out from the Kirikiriroa Marathon, the running is going down as we head into taper town. History was made at the 2026 TCS London Marathon and Thoughts on a Run wants a slice of that sub-2 barrier breaking pie. Missy’s been witching since way back and winds her way around the Thames, giving the goss on the worlds most popular marathon. Hannah tries to get her bearings and invites you “come with me for some compass chat” - it’s magnitising. Feat a haunting sing song or two, a shameless plug for Pic’s peanut butter, and a shout out to all the Mum’s.

Hannah is swell and quite spiffy as a person, Missy is resplendent, and this podcast is an embarrassment in a podsitive way ;) GOATs are on the menu this week as Hannah gets some epic Black Ferns chat over the line. Women’s rugby isn’t ‘the girls version of the sport’, it is rugby and Han gets really in her feelings about it - as she should!. Missy then does a stand up job on the SAT (yapping about it not taking the test). Ultimately, we could keep waffling on but better we just put this episode to the test - go on, try, tackle and scrum this in your ear holes.

Hannah has her hand up and gives side eye while Missy doesn’t cut it out and stands corrected. This week is swish and is the equivalent of disco ball, because thoughts on a run turns any room into a party. Missy prattles on about processions pounding, prancing, and perambulating the pavement as she marches through some parade chat. Hannah moves and grooves and as praises the magic of the mirror ball. We live in a world where sometimes we need a parade - this podcast will have to do…you know what to do - pop your bangerz on!

This week’s episode starts out gross but fun (you’ve been warned). There’s nothing sadder than a half deflated bouncy castle, but worry not! You’ll be jumping for joy after Hannah’s bouncing babble on the nostalgic joys and dangers of the birthday party GOAT that is the inflatable bouncy house. Buckle up, strap in, lights out, and let’s go racing! After sitting on the toilet for a while, Missy’s revved up and ready to zoom through some pole position Formula One chat (shout out to Netflix series Drive to Survive). Don’t DIY a bouncy castle but DO get excited about rainbows - they’re just cool!

Guess what? We’re super intense. It’s fancy running shocks and shout-outs galore this week because it takes a village to raise a podcast fam. Space travel, it’s not a walk in the park and Missy tells you all about it with some out of this world chat about the the Apollo 11 moon landing. Hannah is a passenger princess and you didn’t ask, but she's fizzing to tell you about the soft and slightly messy cake of nostalgic renown either side of the Tasman. That’s right, it’s time for some desiccated and dedicated lamington yaps. You can’t get nasties from the moon, but you bet these Mooney’s are nasty (winky face). Tune in for the yap and stay for the thoughts (you know the drill).
