Running is BS
We’re not huge fans of Halloween, but hey, an angle is an angle and so we lean into it by reading out your SPOOKY running stories.
Amy also pisses off a Facebook group, and to add to the obligatory tea update, we also have a truffle update!

Our 50th episode and there is yet more chat about tea and dog interruptions. Amy ponders alfresco testicles, we cringe over sexism in cross country AGAIN, and discuss blisters and whether there really is a worst place to get one.
We speak to Peter Gillibrand, Liz Rees, and Sam Wright who each completed their own virtual London marathons, and endured wind, rain and chafing.
Oh, and Amy did a marathon.
Send us your SPOOKY running stories for our next episode! We want you to write us a 100 word scary story about running, and the best will be read out and win a Running is BS buff. Email it to us IF YOU DARE.

Because we all know listening to podcasts is best, right?
Being laughably unqualified to talk about something has never stopped us before, so this time we delve into music and what you’re all listening to. Head to Spotify and search Running is Bullshit to find our amazing playlist as compiled by our listeners.
We also grudgingly admit (again) how useful going to the gym actually is, Stu reveals his surprising degree, and we discuss email inbox scum. And for some reason, someone mentions a human centipede…

If you’re a runner with a Welsh accent, we’ll pretty much have you on as a guest, but when you’re a World 800m finalist and rock star, that definitely helps too! We talk to Jimmy about his unique “journey” through sport and music and how he’s now combined the two.
We also tell Garmin to back off, wonder what races we’ve entered, and want to know if you’ve sent Stu a ladies toepad?

We try to start by talking about running, but Amy’s dog throws up just before we start recording so there’s dog action straight from the beginning. Stu’s also drinking cider, so we’re bound to have a slightly fraught recording.
We reveal the winner of last week’s competition, and hear the tale of the Great Fall of 2020, a classic Amy Story.
We also mock our listeners, give cow advice, and talk about Chariots of Fire and Personal Best, or as we know them: “the Brideshead Revisited of running” and “female Top Gun”. We watch shit running films so you don’t have to.
