The podcast that loves to hate running. While other podcasts will celebrate your journey, encourage you to go faster and further, and run free, we’d rather talk about bleeding nipples, getting chased by horses and getting horribly injured. Keep it real with Stewart and Amy.

We've saw some guy on instagram and we liked his posts so we thought we'd get him on the pod! Go check out @running.is.dumb
Meanwhile we get into corporate fanboying, the uncanny valley of Stu's singing ability, unconventional cross training, inadvertent inspiration, epic levels of cheating, and swearing profusely at theoretical passers-by.

Well, there's no race report as expected so it's over to you for some of your gripes, moans and outright petty bitchiness about other people's running.
Amy tells us all about what she's learnt from running nearly 5 ultras and Stu has once again gone to too much effort to record another song.

Finally it's Stu's turn to be suffering from a stupid long race, although Amy is feeling the long term effects too.
We also talk more places that feel wrong to run in, watch PBs, why American race organisers hate you, dingoes, and a surprisingly sensible discussion about running with large breasts.

Did Amy finish her mega-ultra? Spoiler alert: no. The title gives it away.
We ask the vital questions: Have you got a niche stat which makes you look good? Are there places you're not really supposed to run? Is your self-motivation super creepy? Can you spot a red flag? And most importantly, where do you keep your orange squash?

We prepare for our upcoming ultras by getting lost before the recce even began, and running track races. Can you guess who did which?
A strange animal warning, sports days, more dehydration, getting injured by a plant, and a dinosaur.

May the trail gods bless your run and may you find happiness in a petrol station.
This episode is a bit shorter so you're going to have to run quicker!

ANOTHER ultra. ANOTHER local race. MORE dog chat. The worst run Amy has EVER had.
Getting lost, meetings, gravel, crying, very worrying PBs and the best motivation to run a PB ever.

Martinus Evans joins us to talk all about the Slow AF Run Club, which we feel lots of you would like to join!
There's also tales of heat, hills, holiday, horses, Norfolk town names, potential penises, and the Natwest Fraud Team.
Martinus' book is out now in places that sell books so go get it and let him know who sent you!

Amy goes off-script, but staying on-script isn't exactly straightforward either.
Stu wangs on about moving house, and while we haven't won anything we've been near people who have.
Who wants a free race place? Email us and if you amuse us we might give you actual money to enter a race.
We also reaffirm our support for trans runners, and all our LGBT+ friends going about their lives hoping the Daily fucking Mail doesn't turn up and start harassing you.

What do you want before a race to really get you in the mood? A banging tune, an anthem... opera?
We talk about some very dodgy options as well as race reports which perfectly personify our individual styles. A chill ultra for Amy and two super intense 1 mile races for Stu.
Also some of the stupidest and worst bullshit running news we've had for a while.
