Running is BS

#37 - Running in your Garden is Bullshit feat. Gareth Allen

Providing a mild distraction from your lockdown, Running is BS delves into the bizarre world of the garden marathon, running up Everest in your house and other weird things desperate runners are doing to stay occupied and get their distance in.

Has Amy been running? You may be pleasantly surprised. And Stu urges you to stop running up and down the same parks, canal paths, and streets and go and do a bit of exploring!

Our guest this week is Gareth Allen, an ultra runner who live streamed his garden marathon to a worldwide audience!

#36 - Q&As are Bullshit

What do you do when there's no running to talk about? Talk about yourself! Thanks to all our listeners who sent in questions for us, we had a great time going through them and offering our complete lack of expertise as answers.

We manage to squeeze in a bit of bullshit running news, and have now both adopted the Genders Studio™ method which is effective but doesn't half make your head a bit hot.

#35 - Showers are Bullshit

Amy massively overreacts to a single comment about her audio and has taken a drastic solution to improve the ‘studio’.

 

We inevitably drop the C-bomb as the world of running is now dominated by the reaction to COVID-19 and its impacts, as well as post-run showers, brambles, fancy teas, and fell races that haven’t been cancelled.

 

We also ask very important questions such as “Would you wear a manbra” and “Is it ok to just go and run a strava segment?”… See more

#34 - Coronavirus is Bullshit feat. Liz Ayres & Howard Owen

A last minute stand in for Amy sees SBC rock the mic with Stewart for this episode full of all kinds of running bullshit.

There's sweary banter galore with chafing, race cancellations, filthy puns, and making noises at gross out comments. 

We have bonus double guestage with London Marathon pacer Liz Ayres giving us a rundown of the changes being made to this year's race and Howard Owen's review of his, understandably, slowest ever marathon in Siberia.

#33 - High Jump is Bullshit feat. Sharon Heveran

Stewart and Amy (and a yappy Corgi) take on the biggest and most important topics in running (probably) in yet another episode of the podcast that loves to hate running.

We talk about being ill, boobs, race tshirts, and speak to a former international high jumper and coach who only bloody went to the Olympics, Sharon Heveran.

#32 - Nike is Bullshit

The podcast that loves to hate running delves into the murky world of shoes, and the whole Nike debacle. Watch out, Stu has read, like, two articles and now has Opinions.

We also talk about why you shouldn't use Eventbrite for races, how far breasts bounce, and the best way to kill time during a quarantine.

This episode is dedicated to Cactus. He was a very good boi.

#31 Cross Country is Bullshit feat. Maud Hodson

It's Cross Country time, so we've spoken to Maud Hodson about Run Equal, a fantastic campaign that wants men and women to run the same distance. It doesn't sound like a lot to ask does it? You'd be surprised at the bullshit they encounter...

This episode's Bullshit Running News theme is like nothing you've ever heard before (by which we mean good), and that's all thanks to our awesome Patreon subscribers. Why not give us a dollar? If you want a buff, this is the place to go.

#30 - Starting to Run is Bullshit

The running podcast with the worst running hosts is back, and who better to dish out the advice than someone who's been injured for 2 years and someone who doesn't run?

In this episode, we insult New Zealanders, talk about dog shit, and endlessly scream into the void about 'burning off those Christmas calories'.

‘Women have less ego. Men think: How hard can this be?’: the female ultra-athletes leading the field.

#29 - 2019 was Bullshit

Our yearly review of the year, and you guessed it, it was bullshit.

Naturally, we bring you more exciting tea updates, and talk about Amy's ludicrously cute puppy Finley and how much he shits and has ruined her life.

We talk about our new year's resolutions (don't hold your breath), and recap the Bullshit Running News that caught our eye during the year.

AND there's a new way to support Running is Bullshit - Patreon.

#28 - Fell Running is Bullshit feat. Gary Damer and Dean Smith

Well Amy hasn't been running, but that's no longer a big deal as Stu can't stop racing for some reason.

We have double guest action with Gary Damer and Dean Smith from Behind the Medal podcast, who definitely love running and swearing more than us! 

We give you top dogging tips, and all we ask in return is your opinion on what Bullshit Tea should taste like. It makes more sense if you listen rather than reading this tbh...
