  • 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 721 | Bringing Storytelling to Athletics - Lloyd Kempson
Q: What makes in-person coaching special compared to online content?
In-person coaching allows true human connection, real-time feedback, and understanding an athlete's emotional journey, which translates into more sustainable progress than what could be conveyed through videos alone.
Ep 721 | Bringing Storytelling to Athletics - Lloyd Kempson
Q: Why did you pivot from storytelling complaints to becoming a storyteller for European Athletics?
I wanted to shift from just critiquing storytelling to actively shaping it, using my on-ground experiences with athletes and events to capture authentic human stories that extend beyond race results.
Ep 719 | How Safe Is Running For Women - Here's the Data - Prof Rosemary Broad and Dr Caroline Miles
Q: Did you find that more exposure to negative experiences correlated with higher fear among the participants?
The researchers suggested there wasn't strong statistical correlation due to small sample sizes, but they stressed that fear was widespread and influenced by both everyday incidents and high-profile cases, indicating that even those with less direct experience often felt unsafe.
Ep 702 | 'Hardest Thing I’ve Ever Done’ - Shaving 10 Minutes Off Francois D'Haene Nolan’s 14s FKT - David Hedges
Q: How do you cope with altitude during long races?
Hedges mentioned he is good at altitude but recognizes that hydration and acclimatization are key factors.
Ep 704 | 'I've been unable to defend myself publicly due to the legal case' - Multiple World Record Holder Camille Herron
Q: What will you do differently if you were to take on a new sponsor?
I want protected communication for whistleblowing in my contract, as well as better protections against termination.
