The podcast that loves to hate running. While other podcasts will celebrate your journey, encourage you to go faster and further, and run free, we’d rather talk about bleeding nipples, getting chased by horses and getting horribly injured. Keep it real with Stewart and Amy.

Better than With Me Now podcast, the hosts are funner and more entertaining.
I love the way they look at the shit things about running in a loving way.
Amy and Stuart’s ramblings perfectly encapsulate the typical runner’s mindset, loving their sport but always moaning about it and wanting to do less of it. Nice mix of their personal struggles and nonsense from the world of running.
I applaud their commitment to inclusion in running. They do spoilt it though with their irrational prejudice against Hertfordshire towns (Bishop Stortford & Hitchin).
Good podcast! Ideal for people who don’t take running too seriously. Helpful if you like dogs and tea

This show is a blunt, humorous take on running culture, blending personal anecdotes with sharp takes on injuries, gear, AI coaching, sponsorships, and race logistics.
