The podcast that loves to hate running. While other podcasts will celebrate your journey, encourage you to go faster and further, and run free, we’d rather talk about bleeding nipples, getting chased by horses and getting horribly injured. Keep it real with Stewart and Amy.

Huge BS merch news if you like your neck tubes to be multi-functional! We've had medals, we now have coasters, we ask what's next? We've got a complex story from Race to the Stone, mourn the passing of some trail running companies and add loads of great entries onto the injury list, as well as the 'definitely not injured' list.…

The running world has been shaken to it's very core with a massive revelation on this episode, and no we don't mean dark mode on Strava. We get into the peril of running on holiday, and dealing with wild animals, stubborn bowels, and horrible nice weather. We reveal how running through injury can only have good outcomes and mock multiple people bec…

We speak to running coach Jemma Lewis on why she's only into coaching women, how she got onto a Marks and Spencer advert and how much she regrets camping in Wales. We also have far too much fun talking about things that are probably extremely normal in American races, have less fun talking about gross illnesses that children get, and celebrate pour…

Hold onto your hats because Amy has done TWO things to report back on, including a big first in her running history. As she copes with a ton of raceday-related stress and staring into the abyss, Stu prepares for a very long race by running a very short race, and has a whole exciting new set of niggles and potential injuries to look forward to.…

A BIG episode with plenty going on. We speak to author of our new favourite book 'In Her Nature', Rachel Hewitt about the surprising history of women's sport, and the insane ways men ruined it. We cover both sides of the same race, Amy slides her way away from some cows, and Stewart talks himself up and gets exactly what he deserves.…

So it turns out Amy isn't just lazy and flaky, and we talk about the reasons why one week out of four is a near complete write-off. Yes, Stu feels very bad about being a dick about it in previous episodes... Don't worry, we're only serious for a little bit, and then we get into massive Scottish bins, dangerous pina coladas, perilous hiking, supplem…

Yes that's right, our guest is a dragon. That's how pioneering we are, going where other podcasts don't dare. Amy may have had a dream about tadpoles, we advertise spotify for some reason, Stu runs fast, Amy reveals a remarkable first, and we suggest that you don't shit yourself in Japan. Check out Puff's friend Dana Power for fundraising links!…

There has been MUD this week. So much mud. We experience both sides of a race for the first time, and are both exhausted for different reasons. We learn a bit more about where you listen to us, lobster horse roleplaying, a lot more about men pissing in places they shouldn't, and of course a shed load about runfluencers and how no one should give a …

Don't mention Strava! I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it. We talk to Ian Williams who created Fetch Everyone, a massive website full of fantastic numbers for you to log your runs. There's also a surprising amount of piss related discourse, a fair bit of sweating, and a fantastic bit of cheating.…

We've got mixed reports of races from the end of last year and mixed luck with getting into some big name races this year! Amy got confused by an aid station, Stewart gets annoyed at Strava, and you all have set some really stupid running targets and we can't wait to hear how they go wrong.By Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders

We're on a roll with guests and this is a really good one! Louise Butcher had a double mastectomy but instead of shying away from her scars, she's running topless every day not just to raise awareness, but because it feels bloody brilliant! We also talk about running smells because we're 120 episodes in and have run out of things to complain about.…

Seriously? FIVE years? Of this? Weird. We go back to our roots for this episode by interviewing a couple of people that we know, but one of them did the Dragon's Back Race, so that's pretty cool. There's also some nostalgia for how shit we were at the beginning, stories about actual shit, shit singing, and someone at a race who was a shit (allegedl…
  continue reading
 
We've saw some guy on instagram and we liked his posts so we thought we'd get him on the pod! Go check out @running.is.dumb Meanwhile we get into corporate fanboying, the uncanny valley of Stu's singing ability, unconventional cross training, inadvertent inspiration, epic levels of cheating, and swearing profusely at theoretical passers-by.…

Well, there's no race report as expected so it's over to you for some of your gripes, moans and outright petty bitchiness about other people's running. Amy tells us all about what she's learnt from running nearly 5 ultras and Stu has once again gone to too much effort to record another song.By Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders
  continue reading
 
Finally it's Stu's turn to be suffering from a stupid long race, although Amy is feeling the long term effects too. We also talk more places that feel wrong to run in, watch PBs, why American race organisers hate you, dingoes, and a surprisingly sensible discussion about running with large breasts.By Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders
  continue reading
 
Did Amy finish her mega-ultra? Spoiler alert: no. The title gives it away. We ask the vital questions: Have you got a niche stat which makes you look good? Are there places you're not really supposed to run? Is your self-motivation super creepy? Can you spot a red flag? And most importantly, where do you keep your orange squash?…
  continue reading
 
Martinus Evans joins us to talk all about the Slow AF Run Club, which we feel lots of you would like to join! There's also tales of heat, hills, holiday, horses, Norfolk town names, potential penises, and the Natwest Fraud Team. Martinus' book is out now in places that sell books so go get it and let him know who sent you!…
  continue reading
 
Amy goes off-script, but staying on-script isn't exactly straightforward either. Stu wangs on about moving house, and while we haven't won anything we've been near people who have. Who wants a free race place? Email us and if you amuse us we might give you actual money to enter a race. We also reaffirm our support for trans runners, and all our LGB…
  continue reading
 
What do you want before a race to really get you in the mood? A banging tune, an anthem... opera? We talk about some very dodgy options as well as race reports which perfectly personify our individual styles. A chill ultra for Amy and two super intense 1 mile races for Stu. Also some of the stupidest and worst bullshit running news we've had for a …
  continue reading
 
What a load of bollocks! A strong start for this episode as we finally break the taboo on talking balls. Should your dog's instagram be first person? Is Garmin trying to cancel us? Should Stu blow his money on a coach? All of these questions and more left vague and unanswered as you might expect. Please look after your nipples though lads.…
  continue reading
 
We've both done a race, and they couldn't have been much more different! If you like it hard or you like it slow, you're in the right place. We also deliver a lot of good advice to race organisers using our vast knowledge of how to put on a race, as well as chat on medals, squirrels both in the head and in the hand, Michael Flatley and how to steal…
  continue reading
 
Apologies for the audio quality for most of it, that was Amy's fault. The cover photo is entirely Stu's fault, but we're not sorry about that. Otherwise we've got a Stu-heavy, fairly ranty episode including 'carpet-bag' race companies, European tea and running in snow. Don't worry, Amy's life of a series of random events continues with long run dra…

Breaking the myths and stigmas of the world's most popular exercise - this episode's tagline written by an AI. We turn over bits of the script to an AI to save us some time, and it almost works! Amy's brain also generates some running-adjacent anecdotes. We speak to running coach Gary House about the Dragon's Back, online coaching, and why nobody c…

We're back with more bullshit than before! Or the same amount, or less, we don't have a metric for that. Both ill over Christmas, but still out there doing things to keep you entertained. We run through our plans for the year ahead and cannot believe how optimistic we've been. Also Raynaud's, arse gravy, bad human etiquette, big bans, and the stran…

Don't you hate it when your favourite podcast does a live episode? Well, that's what we did! This is a BUMPER edition of bullshit including guests Nicola Forwood, Matt Garner, Rhys Jenkins and Hannah Phillips. We also get into cliché inspiration, running advent calendars, falling over, holiday flexing, birds, inline skating, teeth and death. And we…
  continue reading
 
We're joined by Wild Ginger Running's very own Claire Maxted about being a running media mogul! There is also chat of thick puddles, corgi training regimes, pretend dog injuries, long kit names, and shoe whales. Also, if you're a race organiser or shoe manufacturer, we've got demands about things that we want. Please make it happen.…
  continue reading
 
We start this episode too hard for Amy, who is under the weather yet again. Our guest is the fabulous Jake Fedorowski, who has written The Guide to Non-Binary Inclusion in Running, an awesome resource for race directors. We also get into some incredible chafing, barefoot running, half-compliments, a surprisingly accepted naked runner, and a whole l…
  continue reading
 
We speak to Kathryn Donovan for the lowdown on just how hard races are to organise, and there is a lot more paperwork than you think! The rest of the episode is very managimous as we musically mock Amy, advise more unseasonal tea, Amy's withdrawal, cancelling our own races, trail run pedantry, solid bear safety advice, funky feet, and we finally ma…

Welcome to the Amy Genders Rant Podcast. She's got a lot on her chest this week, and this is her free therapy session. There's also more toilet chat, a lot of potential slander, things worse than magpie attacks, and just when you thought the Marathon Majors couldn't get any worse... #TeamRedBy Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders
  continue reading
 
No, not that one. We're a big deal, but not like that. We can only apologise for a dodgy bit in the middle where we have a sensible discussion. We're reviewing our notes and will ensure this never happens again. Also includes delicate egos, defending against bird attacks, coffee bullshit, the London Marathon and dead bats.…
  continue reading
 
New name for Amy but the same old bullshit. The newly-dubbed ACG and Stewart get into some wedding chat, banana anger, dog interruptions, a noble DNF, manky feet, some of the most bizarre shoes we've ever seen, horses being put in their place, and the fact that you don't fuck with mountains. Our guest Dr Nicki Lygo has crewed for John Kelly and Dam…
