The Two Men on the Run are back again and they've finally got to the digital era. With Jon-Jo now living in Ireland, he's been talked into opening a Zoom account and getting some podcasts recorded. So the Two Men on the Run should be joining you, hopefully more often going forward, but they've been promising that for two years so who knows.

Joining the Two Men on the Run this week is special guest Anton Hutton of Foyle Valley Athletics Club. Born in Dublin and living in Derry for the last 20 years, Anton a national level swimmer in his youth, found running through parkrun later in life, and now competes as a top masters athlete.

The wait is over! After a few months' hiatus, Jon-Jo and Matt are back with Episode 66 of Two Men on the Run. A lot has changed since the last episode: Jon-Jo has relocated to Ireland, where he's been tearing up the racing scene, representing his home country and trying to defend his Merseyside XC Title. Meanwhile, Matt has been busy on and off the track, celebrating the arrival of his second son while setting his sights on breaking his marathon PB at next year’s London Marathon.

In this episode, the lads catch up on their whirlwind personal lives and delve into the world of athletics. They break down recent major marathon performances, discuss the current state of the sport, and outline their ambitions for 2025. Whether you're a runner, a fan of athletics, or just along for the ride, this is a comeback episode you won’t want to miss!

Tune in for plenty of running banter, big goals, and a healthy dose of inspiration. Let’s get back on track! 🎙️👟

The Two Men on the Run are joined by Tom 'Crofty' Croft, Liverpool Harrier, sprinter and coach.

Tom talks to the men about his sprinting training and goals for the coming year, his coaching and personal training business and the Olympics.

Matt Cochrane of Newburgh Nomads joins the Two Men on the Run to celebrate 40 years of the Newburgh Nomads, talk about fell running and if it should be in the Olympics, and his recovery from his recent TIA and quick return to training and racing.

Two Men on the Run are joined by Mark Rogerson, a local athlete who has been across the world breaking records and becoming the first-ever European visually impaired athlete to complete all Six Abbott World Marathon Majors.

The Men hear how Mark lost his sight and got started on his running journey, supported by family, friends and the RNIB. How he met his guide for most of his Marathon Majors, Katie Garrity, and the story of how they have travelled from the UK to Asia, and Europe, while finally taking his final Majors Star over in the States at the historic Boston Marathon back in April.

It's been months but the Two Men on the Run are back (and hoping to keep to some level of release schedule).

Jon-Jo has been building epic fitness, Matt's now a dad but training just as hard, and the Two Men on the Run have battled it out in fairly herculean fashion (they're not modest at all) at the Steve Prescott GPW St. Helens 10km.

This week the Two Men on the Run are joined by their good friend Hughie Killbane. After an exciting morning which nearly saw Made to Run flooded due to someone leaving a water tap running in the flats above, luckily guest Hughie Kilbane was on hand to do a bit of plumbing work and save the shop. There followed a great sit down and an interesting discussion with Hughie all about his running and how it fits into his life from a mental destresser to a training tool for his boxing and MMA fights and more.

This week only a couple hours after racing the Helena Tipping Wrexham 10km the Two Men on the Run are joined by Welsh International and the compare of the race Bernie Jones and Irish International, 1996 British Cross Country Champion and Athletics Activist John Downes.

Bernie and John highlight some of their illustrious athletic careers before diving deep into a discussion on the current shape of Athletics in the UK and the World and what, if anything can be done to try to save the sport they love.

This week the Two Men on the Run are joined by a host of Tour of Merseyside participants and Tour Organiser and BTR leader Alan Rotherwell.

After a round-up of this year's Tour from Matt, and a chance to hear from a number of the participants on their experience of the Tour was like.

The boxing gloves were then allowed off and Jon-Jo and Alan were set on each other.

An excellent discussion on running, business, prizes, and why we run followed, hope everyone enjoys it.

It's been a month since the last show and The Two Men on the Run are now well into their race seasons. We catch up with Matt's Copenhagen Marathon, and Jon-Jo discusses taking on the mountains and jumping down onto the flat and fast of the track.
