The colds linger but the banter is strong – Fran pushes on through, Luke is bed-bound and Sam is going for a BIG win, enjoy!

Is it us or does EVERYONE have a cold!?

And not the kind you can run through!

Makes for some interesting running, but still the usual yapping - enjoy!

Fran runs Fulham and gets Tommy Fury'd at the finish.

Luke keeps building towards that down-week.

Sam might be injured.

It's all happening with 3 weeks to Malaga - enjoy!

This week we have a special guest stepping in while Matt's away. He's an adidas run captain, self-proclaimed Beer Mile Champion and all-round-great-guy - it's Ayo Dada! We chat about his running so far, the EPIC race he has coming up, as well as all the usuals.

This week, we bring you race reports from Neil and Sam at the Brighton Half. Was the wind slime green? Was the Hilltop honey any good? All will be revealed, along with the Neil or Real, a question that includes a LOT of beers.

We are back! After a week off to welcome Indy George Sutherland into the world, we return to your ears with a double running update. We also discuss training plans, spotting niggly injuries and running marathons barefoot.

Matt runs up some Yorkshire hills, Neil flies around the track and Sam runs another parkrun!

Have you ever had people stare at you like you're a looney for running up a hill, only to turn around and jog back down it? If so, then you may enjoy this rEp 🍊

Packed full of tangents – perfect for your long run... or getting off to sleep. Marathon training is in full swing, as is Neil or Real, so enjoy another instalment of RPCR.

What links the Fred Hughes 10 mile race, Buxton water bottles and London Marathon...?

Sam and Matt aren't sure either, but Neil will tell us all about it!

Plus another conversation-proving Matty's Marginal Gains and all the usual tosh.

Bevs, bullseyes and whole load of incredibly articulate, thought-provoking conversation - we're back for week 2 🍊

The looong awaited return of the UK's Top Running Podcast from NW London!

After months of silence and countless requests for more we are back, and each running a spring marathon.

There's the usual ramblings, plus a couple of new features – enjoy!

This week, we speak to the legend that is Bill O'Connor who has run every single London Marathon to date. He's one of only 7 remaining 'Ever-Presents' and talks us through his tales of running from the 70's to today. We try to stay on topic, but naturally veer all over the place, so this one is best listened to on a long run, lengthly commute or broken up over a few listens - enjoy!

We're back, and instead of facts Matt is running track. 25 laps to be precise. With a sub 32 mins PB for 10k, he qualified for the illustrious Night of the 10,000m PBs at the Highgate Harriers track at Parliament Hill, London.

We unpack his training since Manchester, as well as discuss what Neil and Sam have been up to.

We're back after a week away – Luke recounts a couple of races, Fran gives Sam some good advice and there's chat of some selfless behaviour in the Would You Rather...

Neils has gone and done it. 2 weeks, 2 marathons - both sub 3!

Mayhem.

If you enjoyed his Manchester debrief then this is definitely one for you!

We also discuss what's next for us, and more importantly, for the pod...

And just like that, it's race day! What feels like a long road has gone really quickly, and now we tackle the 26.2.

How do you think we all got on? Well, there's one way to find out!

Thanks for listening along, it's been fun. This is the end of season 1, but perhaps we'll be back...

Reply in the poll with what you'd like us to do for season 2!

We were baffled and amazed when Brady, the host of global phenomenon the Inside Running Podcast, agreed to come on and chat in our taper week. So in an attempt to inform our taper, boost our marathon performance and try to string together a half decent running podcast, we grilled him for all the running knowledge that 30 mins would allow.

We're almost there... we now enter the taper!

Along with mountains of pasta, putting our feet up and getting the usual mara-noia feels, we also had a guest on this week to speak about their running and marathon experience and tips. Thanks for your time and wisdom, Johnny!

It's another marathon episode and a P.L. (Personal Longest) but it's full of runs, tees, beers and facts – more than just the one!

We've also got some very BIG news from a certain double marathoner... can you guess what it might be?

Either way, you'll have to listen to find out!

This week, Sam's still in Malta and clearly enjoying the free booze, Neil's in Cornwall on the wine and Matt is showing off with some big sessions - same old then!

The race tees are full of stories - London Marathon 2021 from Sam, the Yorkshire 10 Miler win from Matt and some insane elevation for Neil at the Montée du Ventoux, a 14km race up a steepening hill in France!

Enjoy!

Bit of this, bit of that! Sam's in Malta, Matt's running some ultra work-outs and Neil's touring parkruns - well worth 2 hours of your life...

As we reach the half way stage in the build towards Manchester (and Brighton), we each tackle our tune-up race... The Wokingham Half.

Matt's adamant he's going to stick to marathon pace...

Neil is feeling fit but with a PB of 1:18 isn't sure whether setting off at 1:15 pace is a good idea...

And Sam is going for sub 1:15, but will he be able to pace it right this time?

Plus all the usual chat - Matt's Fact is taken to the next level with a pretty sweet intro!

Like all good marathon training, our episodes are increasing in volume each week. There ain't no junk miles here though, all chat is quality, to the point, some might even say professional - and there's not a tangent in sight...

Hope you've got a long run planned, we really rambled this week. All quality chat though, just a lot of tangents - but that's what you're here for, right? Right!?

After the dust has settled, Fran takes stock on her glute and gets it pummelled for an hour.

Sam visited Exeter Harriers and also gets pummelled for an hour.

And you guessed it, Luke's on a rest week, but pummels an hour (10 mins) of S&C.

We have another 'Would You Rather' and discuss the Treadmill World Champs 👀 enjoy!

We finally get to talking about some running, but not before going well off topic and discussing race t-shirts, beers and how we came up with our name.

The pilot, to see if we actually have anything to chat about. Turns out we do. Running.

In this first repisode (yep!), we share a bit of background about each of us and how we met, as well as plans for upcoming races and the end goal - Manchester Marathon... and Brighton Marathon, for Neil.

Finally, we outline the basic format we'll follow. Although judging by this chat, it'll go wherever it wants - and we're fine with that!

Yorkshire Marathon – where dreams are made!

We hear all about Fran's trip up north to the perfect marathon microclimate, where Sun God found their latest ambassador and it was a bad day to be a hill - enjoy!

This one is all about Fran...

And the weather...

And the maranioa...

Enjoy - and think of Fran on Sunday 🫶

It's autumn marathon season and we're into single figure weeks til Malaga.

Fran's into single weeks until York!

So all of the marathon feels are here.

Have a listen for all the usual, with a sprinkle of maranoia - enjoy!

The further the distance, the more you run with you head and heart than just your legs - but you need your legs too.

This episode is full of nuggets like that, so take it out for your long run and enjoy!

Like a busses, Would You Rathers make you question your life choices, smell a bit suspicious and often two come along at once!

As well as discussing these, we talk running, marathons and running marathons - enjoy!

With a busy week, we come to you straight from the track! Together for this unique episode means we get a 'Would You Rather' straight from Robbie trackside.

We also cover our weeks and speculate about the World Champs - enjoy!

This week we recount Bacchus, the wine half marathon from last weekend which is a unique event around the Denbies Vineyard and the North Downs Way.

We also discuss songs for running to, and the continued build towards the York and Malaga Marathons.

Enjoy!

If you like yapping, this episode is for you...

Ello, ello - yappin' is a happenin' this week - so hopefully you're out for a long run!

We're all getting into our training blocks - Fran's back on Runna, Sam's still running with a headcam and Dr. Luke is on a down-week - all is good in the world.

The Would-You-Rather is a tasty one, but asked by Dr. Luke, so we need more from all of you. Do send them in, anonymous or not.

Happy running!

And so it begins – marathon block number 3 as pod-chatters together.

Have we learnt anything – probably.

Will we implement it – maybe.

Will we have fun – definitely!

We also receive another convo-provoking Would-You-Rather – please keep them coming, love to hear from you guys!

Enjoy!

We often make light of things on here but this week we speak about some of the awful words and actions that women have to deal with* when simply going for a run, as well as the brilliant work Surrey Police are doing to help.

There's also a great account to follow on Instagram called @cheerupluv - check it out!

In the meantime, stay safe out there and let's all let people just enjoy their run!

* To report catcalling, call the police on 101 or report it online via the police.uk website or your local force's website

We ask the big questions on this show, and none come bigger, or scarier, than this... enjoy!

Fran climbs/scrambles an actual mountain* and joking aside, everything else in this series (and the previous two) pales in comparison...

This is an epic story, no more spoilers, have a listen and enjoy!

* Don't try this at home, or in Greece, or anywhere!

We're back for another instalment of random run chat on the road to the Yorkshire - and Malaga - marathons.

Not both.

Oh wait, yes, some of us ARE doing both.

Well, this will be fun!

This week, Dr. Luke brings the Would-You-Rather, Sam falls over and Fran takes a hike - enjoy!

This week's would you rather got us thinking about why we run.

Sam's 5,000m race did the same!

Luke starts thinking about running more.

And Fran, she's got Runna thinking about her running!

So stop thinking, go for that run and put this episode on - enjoy!

Yep, told you so - we are back.

With marathons on the (pretty distant) horizon, we thought it'd be nice to speak to each other again and take you along with us.

This week, we catch up since we last spoke and bring a new segment - enjoy!

Zoe, a friend from the Tracksmith Mile a few years ago, talks all about how she got into running and why she kept going, even when it got hard!

With the NYC Marathon on the horizon, she's been busy acclimatising to the city and course - although work may also be a factor here - but let's pretend.

Zoe is also Type 1 diabetic so kindly shares all about this and how it impacts her running.

Another great chat all about loving running - enjoy!

The usual ramblings but somehow for double the time, what a treat!

We talk about our running, other people's running and sadly some injuries.

We also announce the end of series two and also what we all have coming up this summer - happy listening!

Runners, such lovely people – until they're not.

There have been quite a few naughty runners this week, so we discuss that, along with the usual – enjoy!

Instead of leaving Sam and Luke to yap away on their own for ages we brought in a guest host to yap along with them, for ages!

The guest did bring some good stories, a detailed race recap and a very unpopular opinion, or is it? You decide...

Enjoy!

Having run for England in her school years, Sophie had a really unfortunate accident which set her back for 6 months at first, and then another year and a half!

This was only the start of it but she keeps coming back and our chat highlights her pure enjoyment for running and competing.

If you're looking for some inspiration for your run, here it is - enjoy!

Medal or no medal, that is the question... or the opinion, in this case.

We also talk injuries, racing and the biggest event on the calendar - Pednor 5.

Enjoy!

Emma Frank - Challenges, Curiosity and Competing

Currently in Melbourne, Emma talks about the running scene there and her journey to get there including triathlon, yoga and golf!

With a strong competitive streak, this chat veers off is so many different directions that it’s best just to say, have a listen and enjoy!

Big shout out to Inside Running Podcast for creating the love of Aussie run culture in me, it’s great to hear how big the running BOOM is there too!
