  • Like a long run with your funniest mate

    Incredibly easy listening, engaging and inspiring. Every episode never fails to make me wet myself laughing whilst running. All episodes feel like you are sat at the pub with your mates. A must listen. By far the best podcast, let alone running podcast

    There’s a total derth of the same interviews with the same people in trail and ultra and it’s very dull but Runcensored is not that, good craic with some guests you would never normally hear from because they haven’t won races but so much more interesting. Look forward to Tuesday releases. Some of the best pods have been the ones slim on running content. Top banana guys

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP85 - Altra Changed the Running World. Co-Founder Brian Beckstead Explains How
Q: What was the reason for adding shoes to the market that aren't zero drop?
Beckstead says Altra added four-millimeter-drop models as a complement to its zero-drop shoes, recognizing that some runners want an easier transition and that the shoe industry has evolved toward different performance designs.
EP85 - Altra Changed the Running World. Co-Founder Brian Beckstead Explains How
Q: If somebody has been wearing a six-millimeter or eight-millimeter drop shoe, what is the transition like to go to a zero drop?
Beckstead recommends alternating the new shoes with the old ones instead of switching abruptly. He says moving from a 12-millimeter drop may take longer, while many runners can adapt to other changes within a few weeks.
EP86 - Running Icks, Trail Communities & Working in the Industry
Q: How did that first role that you had in running come about?
She began helping Darren with community events, administration and event pages for The North Face. That work grew into more event responsibilities and eventually helped her move from engineering into a role at HOKA.
EP86 - Running Icks, Trail Communities & Working in the Industry
Q: How did you get into running, Hannah?
She started running during the COVID lockdown after meeting her partner Darren, who introduced her to a Manchester running community. She progressed from shorter runs to longer distances and became hooked.
EP87 - Kendal Mountain Festival: 20+ Years Behind the Scenes with Steve Scott
Q: Do you feel like it is embraced by the locals as well?
Scott says the festival brings millions of pounds into the local economy and is loved by many residents, while acknowledging that its crowds create pressure on parking, accommodation and town infrastructure.
