Various illnesses might have delayed this one but don't worry, we give you all the fun details. We switch funny run club names for funny Australian names, wonder if everyone in South Korea wear moon boots, run up and down hills a bit, and really get into Strava's latest and most bizarre feature update yet.…

So apparently Amy isn't the only one keeping track of her wild toilet stops while Stewart is still really into run club names combined with the inherent silliness of English place names. We also write a smash hit 90s teen film, break some amazing gossip from 2015, and just laugh at the idea of editing wikipedia to make yourself look good.…

Amy has another fairly normal running story that she manages to make into a whole drama, which explains the tree on the episode cover. We get into some weird club names, weird places to run and race, and just plain fucking weird reasons anyone would pay someone else to run their Strava activities for them.…

The road to selling out is almost complete as Stu officially becomes one of the fast bois, and Amy talks up how much fun she had doing hill reps and nailing her progression run. It's the twist no one saw coming... We get back to our core principles of insulting vast swathes of our listeners, laughing at your injuries and questioning all of your lif…

GB Olympian Stewart Harding shares his story of running at the Olympics and completing the Olympic marathon unlike the so-called 'greatest marathon runner ever'. Amy heads back to the middle boring bit of England, which has apparently got a lot nicer recently even if she inadvertently chased away all the local wildlife. There is also a long story a…

Huge BS merch news if you like your neck tubes to be multi-functional! We've had medals, we now have coasters, we ask what's next? We've got a complex story from Race to the Stones, mourn the passing of some trail running companies and add loads of great entries onto the injury list, as well as the 'definitely not injured' list.…

The running world has been shaken to it's very core with a massive revelation on this episode, and no we don't mean dark mode on Strava. We get into the peril of running on holiday, and dealing with wild animals, stubborn bowels, and horrible nice weather. We reveal how running through injury can only have good outcomes and mock multiple people bec…

We speak to running coach Jemma Lewis on why she's only into coaching women, how she got onto a Marks and Spencer advert and how much she regrets camping in Wales. We also have far too much fun talking about things that are probably extremely normal in American races, have less fun talking about gross illnesses that children get, and celebrate pour…

Hold onto your hats because Amy has done TWO things to report back on, including a big first in her running history. As she copes with a ton of raceday-related stress and staring into the abyss, Stu prepares for a very long race by running a very short race, and has a whole exciting new set of niggles and potential injuries to look forward to.…

A BIG episode with plenty going on. We speak to author of our new favourite book 'In Her Nature', Rachel Hewitt about the surprising history of women's sport, and the insane ways men ruined it. We cover both sides of the same race, Amy slides her way away from some cows, and Stewart talks himself up and gets exactly what he deserves.…

So it turns out Amy isn't just lazy and flaky, and we talk about the reasons why one week out of four is a near complete write-off. Yes, Stu feels very bad about being a dick about it in previous episodes... Don't worry, we're only serious for a little bit, and then we get into massive Scottish bins, dangerous pina coladas, perilous hiking, supplem…

We uncover an extremely mild scandal at the heart of UK marathon running, which will almost certainly bring the entire sport to it's knees. GIVE US FOOD. Some amazingly unexpected news has completely ruined Stu's summer already, and Amy found glory running down the Mall in London, but a week earlier than most others did.…

Let us know once you've done the thing yeh? We've plenty of top BS content from you lot this week, with falling over, seeing dragons, having a bad time in Scotland, and plenty of tangents from Amy's increasingly bizarre life.Par Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders

Yes that's right, our guest is a dragon. That's how pioneering we are, going where other podcasts don't dare. Amy may have had a dream about tadpoles, we advertise spotify for some reason, Stu runs fast, Amy reveals a remarkable first, and we suggest that you don't shit yourself in Japan. Check out Puff's friend Dana Power for fundraising links!…

We come in hot this week with some more takes on runfluencers and social media, as well as a few rants about running for charity. Which sounds a bit risky doesn't it? Oh well, we've had a good run, bye everyone... Amy nearly dies in a river, and dodges the snow. Stu's whole life is just mud.Par Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders

There has been MUD this week. So much mud. We experience both sides of a race for the first time, and are both exhausted for different reasons. We learn a bit more about where you listen to us, lobster horse roleplaying, a lot more about men pissing in places they shouldn't, and of course a shed load about runfluencers and how no one should give a …

Don't mention Strava! I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it. We talk to Ian Williams who created Fetch Everyone, a massive website full of fantastic numbers for you to log your runs. There's also a surprising amount of piss related discourse, a fair bit of sweating, and a fantastic bit of cheating.…

Amy has been on an exclusive hot weather training camp and Stewart is continuing to dominate local races. These things are partly true, which is good enough for podcast purposes. Also includes talk of absolute zero, flattering seams, dogging and the most adorable running shoes.Par Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders

We've got mixed reports of races from the end of last year and mixed luck with getting into some big name races this year! Amy got confused by an aid station, Stewart gets annoyed at Strava, and you all have set some really stupid running targets and we can't wait to hear how they go wrong.Par Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders

What a bullshit year. At least for most of you, we actually had quite a nice time. We're cancelling race organisers, tricking you into buying tea, cursing cyclists yet again, and talking about all the horribly actually sad reasons why you can't run. What's the weirdest thing you've got from a race goody bag?…

Stewart escaped Meriden! We can finally hear all about this race that has been over a year in the making. Good news, it was miserable. Amy's been taking advantage of her car-based freedom by going to one single new place over and over again, and still can't pronounce names.Par Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders

Just one more episode until Meriden so we're getting into the best bits of any race, the map, the plan and the admin! We've also got some great ultra food ideas from our listeners which are uncharacteristically helpful. Amy also has the least scariest running story you'll ever hear, just in time to have missed Halloween.…

We're on a roll with guests and this is a really good one! Louise Butcher had a double mastectomy but instead of shying away from her scars, she's running topless every day not just to raise awareness, but because it feels bloody brilliant! We also talk about running smells because we're 120 episodes in and have run out of things to complain about.…

Seriously? FIVE years? Of this? Weird. We go back to our roots for this episode by interviewing a couple of people that we know, but one of them did the Dragon's Back Race, so that's pretty cool. There's also some nostalgia for how shit we were at the beginning, stories about actual shit, shit singing, and someone at a race who was a shit (allegedl…

We've saw some guy on instagram and we liked his posts so we thought we'd get him on the pod! Go check out @running.is.dumb Meanwhile we get into corporate fanboying, the uncanny valley of Stu's singing ability, unconventional cross training, inadvertent inspiration, epic levels of cheating, and swearing profusely at theoretical passers-by.…

Well, there's no race report as expected so it's over to you for some of your gripes, moans and outright petty bitchiness about other people's running. Amy tells us all about what she's learnt from running nearly 5 ultras and Stu has once again gone to too much effort to record another song.Par Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders

Finally it's Stu's turn to be suffering from a stupid long race, although Amy is feeling the long term effects too. We also talk more places that feel wrong to run in, watch PBs, why American race organisers hate you, dingoes, and a surprisingly sensible discussion about running with large breasts.Par Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders

Did Amy finish her mega-ultra? Spoiler alert: no. The title gives it away. We ask the vital questions: Have you got a niche stat which makes you look good? Are there places you're not really supposed to run? Is your self-motivation super creepy? Can you spot a red flag? And most importantly, where do you keep your orange squash?…

We prepare for our upcoming ultras by getting lost before the recce even began, and running track races. Can you guess who did which? A strange animal warning, sports days, more dehydration, getting injured by a plant, and a dinosaur.Par Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders

May the trail gods bless your run and may you find happiness in a petrol station. This episode is a bit shorter so you're going to have to run quicker!Par Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders

ANOTHER ultra. ANOTHER local race. MORE dog chat. The worst run Amy has EVER had. Getting lost, meetings, gravel, crying, very worrying PBs and the best motivation to run a PB ever.Par Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders

Martinus Evans joins us to talk all about the Slow AF Run Club, which we feel lots of you would like to join! There's also tales of heat, hills, holiday, horses, Norfolk town names, potential penises, and the Natwest Fraud Team. Martinus' book is out now in places that sell books so go get it and let him know who sent you!…

Amy goes off-script, but staying on-script isn't exactly straightforward either. Stu wangs on about moving house, and while we haven't won anything we've been near people who have. Who wants a free race place? Email us and if you amuse us we might give you actual money to enter a race. We also reaffirm our support for trans runners, and all our LGB…

What do you want before a race to really get you in the mood? A banging tune, an anthem... opera? We talk about some very dodgy options as well as race reports which perfectly personify our individual styles. A chill ultra for Amy and two super intense 1 mile races for Stu. Also some of the stupidest and worst bullshit running news we've had for a …

What a load of bollocks! A strong start for this episode as we finally break the taboo on talking balls. Should your dog's instagram be first person? Is Garmin trying to cancel us? Should Stu blow his money on a coach? All of these questions and more left vague and unanswered as you might expect. Please look after your nipples though lads.…

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…

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.Par Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders

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 dra…

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...Par Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders

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 c…

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 stran…

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…

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!Par Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders

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.Par Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders

We're joined by Wild Ginger Running's very own Claire Maxted about being a running media mogul! There is also chat of thick puddles, corgi training regimes, pretend dog injuries, long kit names, and shoe whales. Also, if you're a race organiser or shoe manufacturer, we've got demands about things that we want. Please make it happen.…

"I don't like it" is a strong theme for this episode as we get annoyed about things that no one else cares about. Amy went on holiday, Pippin went on an adventure, Stu ran in circles. Costumes, lady lube, Sergey Bubka, more naked runners, pick up trucks, and the most bizarre shoe concept ever are also mentioned.…

Amy is all about the shocking reveals in this episode. She's done a thing, and is planning to do more things! There are some unexpectedly passionate rants about bovril, giving up, and not understanding other languages.Par Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders

Running is the rain is obviously fun, but sometimes it just goes too far. We also talk about the devil's bargain, a pumpkin revelation, a mental health crisis masquerading as a race, and ask if you've started a race at a weird time? All this and (a bit) more in this episode.Par Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders

We start this episode too hard for Amy, who is under the weather yet again. Our guest is the fabulous Jake Fedorowski, who has written The Guide to Non-Binary Inclusion in Running, an awesome resource for race directors. We also get into some incredible chafing, barefoot running, half-compliments, a surprisingly accepted naked runner, and a whole l…
