  • 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.

I hope you weren’t too upset that someone wasn’t assassinated for your entertainment, presumably ... more

  • Episode 482 / 485

    What a missed opportunity - disappointed to say the least - skip these 2 episodes if you’re actually interested in running, all I could hear was laughter and pooh mentioned rather too often.
