Running is BS

#77 - Falling Over is Bullshit

We're tired, oh so tired... Weirdly, it's because we've been running a lot recently.

We ignore your advice, talk about a bitch that ruined our walk, complain about fell races, talk about the best and worst format to start a race, and speculate on the Hollywood career Stu could have had.

#76 - Personal Trainers are Bullshit

Apologies to any personal trainers, but if you're telling us not to run, we're not going to listen...

Our first episode of 2022 is back in typical style with a discussion about shitting yourself, being injured by a dog and running too many races.

We've got more listener injuries, more bullshit marketing and Stu has even bought some race photos!

#75 - Race Photos are Bullshit

It seems race photos are a hot topic and everyone has an opinion! But are they bullshit or not. The answer is, inevitably, more complicated than that.

We speculate on better sponsors for the London marathon based purely on how fun they are to say, Amy doesn't run an ultra, we read our favourite email ever, mock some shoes and talk about poo.

Oh, and Stu ran a marathon.

#74 - Recording Live is Bullshit

Recorded in front of a live studio (cafe) audience in Cardiff!

We speak to Rhys Jenkins, Jimmy Watkins, and Dr Nicky Genders about running the length of the UK, running sober, and not running at all. There's the usual references to dogs and tea, and the audience were even kind enough to laugh occasionally. 

Amy apparently doesn't know the difference between any of our listeners and Stewart has done maths.

#73 - Prostate Cancer is Bullshit with Tim Beynon

Our guest Tim has written a book about his experience with prostate cancer, and we ask him weird questions that he didn't expect, but eventually find our way back to the subject at hand!

Recording on the day of the London marathon inspires us to half-watch it on TV and potentially reconsider the virtual race, but still not actually make us want to to enter it.

Stewart has done a stupid race and has a secret weapon up his sleeve, or in his shorts. Amy hurts and is seriously questioning her life decisions. There are dog interruptions, but not the ones we'd usually expect.

#72 - Toenails are Bullshit with Matt O‘Keefe

We speak to the man who finished third in the infamous Dragon's Back Race about how annoyingly good at running he is.

Amy literally can't stop entering races and Stewart just keeps writing stupid songs.

Don't forget our live show on October 15th 2021 in Cardiff, and tickets are free so please book now!

#71 - Feet are Bullshit

Amy did an ultra.

Stewart did an ultra.

We talk about those ultras.

ALSO we announce our live show on October 15th 2021 in Cardiff, and tickets are free so please book now!

Congratulations to Alan Burrell for being the worst looking listener who graces the cover photo for this episode.

#70 - Long Runs are Bullshit

We did another long run together, so there's plenty of standard long run and training chat.

Stu has an illness or an injury or both, and Amy uses the phrases "gym journey" with an entirely straight face. We also talk about periods again, Olympic marathon stuff and how to trick runners into being slow.  

#69 - Geese are Bullshit with Mark Atkinson

We speak to the author of Run Like Duck and Ducking Long Way Mark Atkinson about ultras, ducks and just how easily led he is.

Amy becomes a run leader and rescues a kitten, Stu did TWO races with extremely mixed results and we both fell over.

#68 - Harassing Runners is Bullshit feat. Kelly Roberts

Our guest is founder of the Badass Lady Gang, coach, and self-styled President of the 'I hate running club' Kelly Roberts.

Obviously we just bang on about it being too hot to run the same as everyone else in the UK who cannot handle anything over 20 degrees.

We talk about socks in the washing machine, sheep (again), running up hills, half chests, performance soap, and some running COVID news.
