  • A bit boring now

    I’ve listened to a few episodes but have now given up. Loads of irrelevant boring chat and most of their discussions are just guessing facts (e.g. their last one on LA Marathon and UTS - nothing new or interesting, mostly just moaning. Do your homework guys!

    Call me old-fashioned but the constant swearing just does my head in.

  • Every episode

    A friend recommended this to me. I started 7 years behind. I caught up. I have endured every single episode. Being middle aged with gout and constant injuries these are my people.

  • Twatish blokes who occasionally talk about running.

    Listening to this podcasts reminds me of the times I sat in the back of a minibus with a bunch of immature wankers who forgot there was a mature woman amongst their midst. The only difference here is that occasionally they talk about running which can be quite interesting and informative.

  • Bad boys, bad pod.

    Awful pod. These guys don’t have a clue about running! One sounds like he’s doing a bad Martin Yelling impression the other like he’s never talked about running before.

  • “Unfortunately, erm, it appears someone missed”

    UK listener since Ep1, generally entertaining and often silly, but the interviews have gotten better and better as the show has matured and the majority are excellent. I don’t care for David and Jody’s extremely left wing views, but it’s normally something that can be ignored as they aren’t very intrusive. Ep #572 however hit a new low, with the quote “Unfortunately, erm, it appears someone missed”. I hope you weren’t too upset that someone wasn’t assassinated for your entertainment, presumably ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 755 | Inspiring Elite Track Running in High Schools - Diadora CMO - Ryan Eckel
Q: What were the logistical steps that helped you bring this campaign to life?
We collaborated with Marathon Sports for initial spark, then rolled out the spike and marketing materials, coordinated with FlowTrack for reach, and kept the process tightly linked to real-world athlete attempts and stories gathered from the field.
Ep 755 | Inspiring Elite Track Running in High Schools - Diadora CMO - Ryan Eckel
Q: How did you structure and justify the NIL-style contract campaign for high school athletes?
We proposed a contract for those who could break four minutes in the mile (and 435 for girls) during indoor season, with marketing obligations and some product support. It was designed to be a fresh, low-cost, high-visibility initiative that spotlighted the brand's performance edge without guaranteeing results, and we emphasized compliance with NIL rules.
Ep 755 | Inspiring Elite Track Running in High Schools - Diadora CMO - Ryan Eckel
Q: What do you think has been one of the most successful marketing campaigns you're running over the past year?
The campaign with high school athletes and NIL-style contracts around breaking sub-four for the mile created a lot of organic attention, helped by FlowTrack and social sharing, and it aligned with our focus on telling a powerful performance story tied to real athletes using our product.
Ep 744 | World Champion in 6 Sports - Tove Alexandersson
Q: How does she handle the mental aspect of racing and staying positive under pressure?
She emphasizes controlling thoughts to stay positive, using a mental coach from a young age, and maintaining a focused mindset especially in important races.
Ep 744 | World Champion in 6 Sports - Tove Alexandersson
Q: What drives her training intensity and motivation at the highest level?
Motivation comes from training to prepare for goals, loving the challenge of being on the limit, and the desire to continually improve.
