Portsmouth Running Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Welcome to this episode of the show, which is a mash up of three segments, kicking off with a long awaited catch-up with Daniel and Dave, chatting through recent races, events, training, and cooking! We are then treated to a discussion and event catch up with Daniel and Helen Newman who both took part in a 100km treadmill challenge at the Portsmouth University last weekend. Find out all about it in this segment.

And last but not least, our featured guest Ollie Biddle who will be taking part in an extreme running challenge on the seafront next Saturday, the 26th April near the Brinny. Ollie will be taking on an extreme distance run between two cones for a great charitable cause. Listeners and runners may want to know what's going on, so they can support, cheer and join Ollie for a couple of laps even.

Once again, thank you for listening to the show. We love running. We love our city. We love what running gives to people within the city. Take care and enjoy those miles x

What does it take to finish a non-stop 200 mile race? What if that race was in a one mile long tunnel? What if the lights went out over night making it completely dark? Well, on this show we hear from a 2025 finisher, winner and incredible new course record holder, Alex Marshall.

Alex joins Daniel on the show to discuss how she approached this years event, and discusses how the race went down on the day. Or rather, days! Running an event like the Tunnel presents some very unique challenges in what is really a one of a kind race. Alex has a very impressive list of event wins and has a solid training routine she shares, that prepare her and keep her in great shape for lots of long distance races through the year.

I thoroughly enjoyed recording this episode and the only downer was that Dave could not join us on this show, but will be back on the next episode for a full recap of Daniel's race too. Enjoy the content! x

Portsmouth is fast becomming a most excellent running hub, with so many running options for people. On this episode we welcome Max Eacott who started RunSouthRun - one of the many wonderful running options we have here in Portsmouth. It was really great speaking with Max about his own running and training, starting RunSouthRun and also about his own Personal Training business too. Max is a motivated chap and a lovely human being, putting other people first as a passion. If you've not been along to RunSouthRun yet, do give it a go. They meet outside of Hunter Gatherer each Sunday morning at 08:30.

And as always, Daniel and Dave warm us up with some halloween themed running antics and chat. Thank you for listening as always x

We are delighted on this show to bring two of Portsmouths junior runners, Romilly and Oliver, to discuss their training and racing. After visiting the track a few times, we have noticed that there are some fantastic sessions being run by coaches from various clubs and it is truly a wonderfuly sight. To see so many children outside, enjoying the training together. There's always a lot of laughter and joy being had on the track, but also an incredible about of concentration and hard work too. A beautiful balance!

And as always, we bring you 20 minutes of warm up with hosts Daniel and Dave. Dave talks about his recent North Downs Way 100 finish, along with some chat about the recent Olympics. Including, the breakdancing!

As always, thank you for listening and supporting. Happy running everyone! x

On this episode of the podcast we welcome two guests, Loisa Hayward and Jen Stoneham who are both co-event directors at Eastney junior parkrun here in Portsmouth! For those who don't know the event, it is for 4 - 14 year olds and covers a 2km course each Sunday. It runs in the same format as the 5km parkruns do, but has a whole load of other special things on top, making it one of the best events ever!

A nice short introduction today, with just Daniel introducing the show, and also letting runners know about the upcoming BIG RUN in Portsmouth, happening on the 21st of July. All details inside this episode. As always, happy running everyone! x

Welcome to our latest episode of the podcast where we welcome Hoka Elite runner, Louise Small! Louise is no stranger to Portsmouth, having recently come to Portsmouth to take on the new Southsea parkrun route. She did so in style, taking overall first finisher token from the volunteers.

Louise and I had such a lovely chat about all things running, and it was great to hear her story about starting out as a runner in her teens and being scouted as a running talent. Along with that, Daniel and Louise had a great load to talk about when it comes to Hoka and we enjoyed listing some our favourite shoes to run in.

Thank you for supporting the show by listening. We hope you have a great week of running ahead x

What a treat for this weeks listeners! That's right - you get both Dave and Daniel having a run and a race catch-up, as Daniel returns back from a couple of weeks having done both Brighton to London 100k, and one of the Ultra Trail Snowdonia races in Wales.

Dave is also soon off to race along the border between Wales and England as he takes on the Bridge 200 Miler. That's right, 200 miles across a bridge. How is he feeling for that race? How are Daniel's legs feeling after a couple of weeks races? Any lessons or insightful information? All in this weeks episode.

As always, thank you for listening and happy running! x

On this episode of the podcast we welcome Dr Bart Olechowski on to speak with us about running and the heart. Dr Olechowski is a Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, specialising in all aspects of general cardiology and interventional cardiology. He is also a runner and keen fitness enthisast. This really was such an insightful episode to research and record and I again want to thank Dr Olechowski for agreeing to take time out of a busy schedule and answer running related questions that tied in nicely with heart health.

If you run, listen to this show. There's plenty to take away from it and so much to learn about the heart and running. And as always too, Dave and Daniel get us warmed up before hand with some running chit chat. Have you ever tried Shaki mats?

As always everyone - happy miles and stay well x

Dan and Dave were delighted to have both founders of Running Late Southsea, Alice White and Molly McMaster, on the show! Alice and Molly both agreed to come and chat all about how Running Late Southsea started, the motivation behind it, and a lot more about running in Portsmouth. With all the different run groups that have started popping up in the city, it was fabulous to get Alice and Molly on to showcase a fine example. One of many great groups and opportunities that now exist for people to start running.

Dave and Dan, your absolutely dedicated running show hosts kick start this episode with a warm up chat, all about warm ups and various running related things. And Dan discovered stretching for the first time ever!

As always, happy running everyone X

On this episode of the show we welcome back the one and only Steve Bullock, founder of Grasshopper Coaching here in Portsmouth. If you haven't yet heard about Steve and his great run, swim and S&C sessions, then where have you been? Steve has become a go to coach for a lot of new and experienced runners in Portsmouth. His 'Track Tuesdays' have become legendary with many, many people attending on even the coldest and wettest of days. Steve comes on to give us an update as to how the group has grown over the past year or so, and an insight into his newly revamped coaching model and subscription. Always a pleasure to speak with the Grasshopper himself.

Any on top of that, listeners get the lovely treat of hearing Dave and I bang on for the first twenty minutes. It's like a warm up - everyone wants to get to the juicy stuff right away, but have a listen to two of the most clueless runners ever. We just LOVE RUNNING!!!

We wish you well and as always, happy running everyone X
