Welcome to episode 62!

This week we are thrilled to be joined by journalist, book editor and commissioner and extremely incredibly good ultrarunner Kirsty Reade!

Kirsty has basically done every hard race ever including Dragons Back, Cape Wrath, every single European mountain race ever invented and she's funny and she hates all the same stuff as we do. This week we ask what the heck is going on in Madeira, rant about binfluencers (again) and we launch BAILEY AND READE INVESTIGATE - the investigations arm of the podcast. Have you got an ultra-mystery you would like solved? Then send it our way and we will do our best to rip it to shreds without getting sued!

If you have any questions for ANY of our guests, then please send them our way on the usual channels.

Welcome to The Debrief!

In this special episode Allie talks to (at) Damian about her 108 mile adventure on the Pennine Way - which although a lot shorter than his, is defo way more brutal. This ain't no one way conversation though as we get into what it takes to mentally get through those races and why the Pennine Way is just so hard to run on. There are some proper good nuggets in this one, so make sure you share it with all your friends and neighbours and let us know what you think in the comments!

Welcome to episode 60!

This week we meet our next guest host the wonderful Paul Albon!

Paul is the RD at Big Bear events and in our little intro pod we talk about how he ended up here via a zoology degree, working in some banks and having a dream - it's all pretty inspiring stuff this week. There are some feature ideas courtesy of Chat GPT, a half ironman admission and we also find out what happened when Paul tried his hand at a 100 mile race.

Keep your questions coming in for all out guests via the usual channels and let us know what you think of this one!

Welcome to episode 58 - the first of our maternity leave episodes with super host Damian Hall.

This week Allie gets to know Damian and all his weird secrets. Who else mentions they "helped" with a double Paddy Buckley at the weekend without mentioning that by help they meant "ran most of a Paddy Buckley"? Overachieving nonsense as always from his end. We also discuss ideas for features (Allie's are better than Damo's), oily race companies and naughty hikes. Don't forget to send in your questions for Damo for next month's LOL fest!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!

We are 57 episodes old and 52 weeks old and 1 year old!!!

This week we send Anna off on maternity leave with a big old trip down memory lane, reliving some of our fave moments from the last year, dropping some big stats and losing our shit over a picture sent in by a listener - you need to check Instagram to see this it is INCREDIBLE. We also introduce you to another two of our great pod cover stars and check in on the all-important playlist - oh and there's also a conversation about matted pubic hair. Honestly, we don't know how it happens either - ENJOY!

Welcome to The Debrief!

This week Allie talks to Dean Cox - otherwise known as the podcast pet - about his epic journey from half marathon runner to 100km finisher.

Back in 2023, Allie and Anna picked Dean from obscurity and have been training him in the dark arts for the last 30 weeks in order to get him to the start and hopefully the finish on the London to Brighton 100km race. Here Allie and Dean talk about the training plans he followed, his highs, lows and what he learnt on this 30-week journey, plus he chooses three songs for the playlist.

Proper inspiring stuff, this. Prepare to get teary.

In this Legends episode, Anna interviews Jimmy Watkins, co-founder of The Running Punks.

Jimmy is a former GB athlete - who, in his own words, quit for rock & roll. In 2006, our guest reached the 800m final at the World Indoor Championships in Moscow, having clocked a PB and Welsh indoor record of 1 minute 47.23 seconds in the semifinals but despite his incredible talents on the track, Jimmy ran his last full season in 2007 - before pursuing a career in music. He went on to have considerable success as the frontman of rock band Future of The Left and The Vega Bodegas. And got back into running in 2019 - documenting it with regular social media updates and through his own podcast, ‘Megabus To The Ritz’.

Here Jimmy talks to Anna about everything that got him where he is today, the importance of music on a run and why he's no longer allowed in altitude tents. Grab a cuppa and sit in a safe space - this one is absolutely hilarious.
