Running is BS

#136 - Running on Holiday is Bullshit

The running world has been shaken to it's very core with a massive revelation on this episode, and no we don't mean dark mode on Strava.

We get into the peril of running on holiday, and dealing with wild animals, stubborn bowels, and horrible nice weather.

We reveal how running through injury can only have good outcomes and mock multiple people becoming unstuck for using Google maps to plan their runs.

#135 - Race Milk is Bullshit with Jemma Lewis

We speak to running coach Jemma Lewis on why she's only into coaching women, how she got onto a Marks and Spencer advert and how much she regrets camping in Wales.

We also have far too much fun talking about things that are probably extremely normal in American races, have less fun talking about gross illnesses that children get, and celebrate pour listeners who are out of action especially if their injury was caused by something funny.

Stu gives his review of Man vs Horse (tl;dr DO IT) and Amy delves deep as an investigative journalist to crack the mystery of running heels.

#134 - Virtual T-Shirts are Bullshit

Hold onto your hats because Amy has done TWO things to report back on, including a big first in her running history.

As she copes with a ton of raceday-related stress and staring into the abyss, Stu prepares for a very long race by running a very short race, and has a whole exciting new set of niggles and potential injuries to look forward to.

#133 - Men are Bullshit with Rachel Hewitt

A BIG episode with plenty going on. We speak to author of our new favourite book 'In Her Nature', Rachel Hewitt about the surprising history of women's sport, and the insane ways men ruined it.

We cover both sides of the same race, Amy slides her way away from some cows, and Stewart talks himself up and gets exactly what he deserves.

#132 - PMDD is Bullshit

So it turns out Amy isn't just lazy and flaky, and we talk about the reasons why one week out of four is a near complete write-off. Yes, Stu feels very bad about being a dick about it in previous episodes...   

Don't worry, we're only serious for a little bit, and then we get into massive Scottish bins, dangerous pina coladas, perilous hiking, supplement overdosing, and we still have to tell people not to cheat.

#131 - Not Getting a Banana is Bullshit

We uncover an extremely mild scandal at the heart of UK marathon running, which will almost certainly bring the entire sport to it's knees. GIVE US FOOD.

Some amazingly unexpected news has completely ruined Stu's summer already, and Amy found glory running down the Mall in London, but a week earlier than most others did.

#130 - Bragging About Things You Haven't Done Yet is Bullshit

Let us know once you've done the thing yeh?

We've plenty of top BS content from you lot this week, with falling over, seeing dragons, having a bad time in Scotland, and plenty of tangents from Amy's increasingly bizarre life.

#129 - Energy Gels are Bullshit with Puff the Dragon

Yes that's right, our guest is a dragon. That's how pioneering we are, going where other podcasts don't dare.

Amy may have had a dream about tadpoles, we advertise spotify for some reason, Stu runs fast, Amy reveals a remarkable first, and we suggest that you don't shit yourself in Japan.

Check out Puff's friend Dana Power for fundraising links!

#128 - February is Bullshit

We come in hot this week with some more takes on runfluencers and social media, as well as a few rants about running for charity. Which sounds a bit risky doesn't it? Oh well, we've had a good run, bye everyone...

Amy nearly dies in a river, and dodges the snow. Stu's whole life is just mud.

#127 - Runfluencers are Bullshit

There has been MUD this week. So much mud. We experience both sides of a race for the first time, and are both exhausted for different reasons.

We learn a bit more about where you listen to us, lobster horse roleplaying, a lot more about men pissing in places they shouldn't, and of course a shed load about runfluencers and how no one should give a shit about what a stranger eats in a day, because it's all just fucking smoothies anyway.
