| How a 102kg Chef Ran a 2:52 Marathon... | 01 oct. 2026 | 01:17:50 | |
This week I'm joined by the one and only Oli aka El Burrito Monster. The food content creator who accidentally became an absolute running machine. We talk losing six stone by running 10K every day, going from a 30-minute 5K to 20min in five days, running a 2:52 London Marathon at 102 kilos, and his latest Berlin Marathon where he tried to go sub-three on basically no training (really unhinged bloke).

| The Training Trap That BROKE a 2:16 Marathoner… | 24 sept. 2026 | 01:26:05 | |
I'm joined by Cole Gibbens to break down his London Marathon debut, where he ran 2:16 as a first-timer! We get into the training mistakes that led to a stress responses, the reality of disordered eating and under fueling in the men's running scene, and a hands-on look at the newly released Adidas Pro 5 - how it compares to the Pro 4 and what it means for race day. Raw, honest conversation about the parts of running nobody talking about enough.

FINALLY! We find out what really happened... This week I sat down with ultra runner Ayyoub El Osrouti AKA Ello.

TommyRunPT is one of most best speakers in the running space & a man who have been central to so many people's running journey's over the past few years. I've found his videos to be such a source of inspiration and as a bloke he's been a big inspiration. Great to chat again with Tommy!

DOUBLE OLYMPIC CHAMPION🤯🥇Not only one of the most decorated triathletes of all time, he’s a hero for many and was part of the iconic Team GB in 2008, 2012 & 2016 👏🏼. Alistair gave us one of the most iconic, heartwarming & controversial moments on endurance sport when he dragged his brother Jonny at the world championships over the line. If you were to have told that young lad watching the 2012 Olympics that he’d be one day chatting with a man who won gold I would have laughed at you.

Emily Fairs is back on the pod! This week we catch up on her Saucony 10K race, break down whether an ultramarathon or a 10K is actually harder, and talk about drinking and training through the summer with no guilt. We also dig into the impossible standard female creators are held to. Emily reads out a comment accusing her of losing weight and we unpack why she "can't win" no matter what she posts. And if that wasn't enough, we touch on the Meta glasses consent controversy, London Marathon's new two-day format, and why delusion and optimism might be the secret to achieving anything.

Sam Griffiths (GlobeRunnerGriff) went from 125kg competitive Call of Duty gamer to a 2:22 marathoner — and honestly, his story is one of the wildest transformations we've had on the pod. We get into the Warzone grind, the one-way flight to Nepal that changed everything, why he's never touched alcohol or coffee, his (very) heavy race calendar, heart-rate based training, the London vs Copenhagen double, and a lot more.

| 48. Holly Archer on Why Hyrox Needs FIXING & Future of Content Creator ATHLETES | 25 juin 2026 | 01:20:12 | |
Holly Archer — European Silver Medalist and one of the most exciting voices in endurance sport — joins the podcast for an honest conversation about what it really takes to compete at the highest level. Holly opens up about her unlikely origin story: getting a double detention at age 12 for "cheating" in a school cross country race — an accusation lighting a fire that never went out. From a scholarship at an American university to training at altitude with Under Armour, missing Tokyo 2021 by 0.04 of a second, burning out as a pro, and rebuilding from scratch — Holly holds nothing back. She also gets into why Hyrox has a consistency problem, the controversial gel wrapper penalty that cost her a World Championship spot, why she ran a 2:33 marathon with zero long runs in the build-up, and why she believes brands and content creators need to take more responsibility for the running advice they're putting out.
