Season 7 Teaser - Live from the Wellbeing Trail05 fĂŠvr. 202500:26:24
This episode was supposed to be called "a love letter to Jacob Tonkin" before someone got sidetracked and totally obsessed with 'the Wellbeing Trail' - it's lovely when you find a new route. Let this be a lovely new route into a glorious season of On The Back Foot. Love you all.x

Flower Scar Review - On The Bob Foot - Turning up the volume20 mars 202401:14:49

Following on from Flower Scar. We get the big name in first and hear from Bobby Gard-Storry. Myself and sub editor Quiz Alborough ponder if we've got enough to make an epsiode. Tonkin returns and so does his Majesty of Munching on the Moors, A very fast man gives his report in his indomitable style. We learn more about how to run like a Haggis. Training gets specific for the Bob Graham and Rob rounds-up the results!


Introduction courtesy of famous American Ultra Runner Davey Gobbins


Well done to all who raced at Flower Scar. Hope to see you at Lad's Leap

Flower Scar Preview - The Champs begins!12 mars 202401:49:59

It's a long one. So approach it like Munching On The Moors. You could eat it up in little bits or devour all your food in one go and be an absolute hero of your own lunchbox!


The Flower Scar preview features Doni Clarke, Nic Barber, Chris Alborough, Andy Blackett, Bobby Gard-Storry, Dr Rothery, John Kelly and Skip the dog 🐕

On The Bob Foot - The James Wynne Wine Win Method, Racing Tips with Andy Blackett, Munching On The Moors, Haggising and Learning Cumbrian05 mars 202401:06:02
Some critics have claimed that I impersonate top mountain runner's talking to me on my podcast! First of all I wouldn't do such a silly thing. Secondly I don't actually have the talent. All the guests featured on this episode took time out of their busy days to send me well rehearsed voice notes that probably took them hours to rehearse. The fact anyone would suggest some of them are phony is frankly insulting and if accusers want to listen to 'On The Back Foot' then I think they should be donating money to Jacob Tonkin's Benidorm trip!

After spending the week leading up to the UTMB making friends with the 1st Australian at UTMB, the 1st Canadian at CCC, her epic crew and premier ultra running podcasters it seemed silly not to make an episode!
