Amy is the consistent runner this week, while Stu fails and then quits for a while.
We also have a listener story that perfectly fits the Running is BS story algorithm, some tips on how not to handle accidentally trespassing in a race, brambles, being saved by an e-scooter, and, as ever, falling over.

We enjoy some of your quickfire bullshit and accidentally stumble into our favourite talking points of the episode!
Once again you are offered completely amateur uninformed medical advice, a load of bollocks about the Enhanced Games, Amy visits a church, and Stu nearly forgets to tell a horrible story.

The Great Fall of 2026 has happened, but to the wrong host.
We talk about AI, how stupid and annoying it is to use, as well as how useful it can be.
Weโve got plenty of listeners getting injured, a good few sensibly ignoring them, and our one-woman bullshit generator is very much back on form.

Itโs time to review the greatest and most important race of the year. No, not the London marathon, the Beijing Robot Half Marathon!
Amy gets caught up in the race season excitement and nearly does a race..
..whilst Stuโs got Lidl to thank for another PB.
We decide which injuries are the best to run through, discuss the worst chafing weโve ever seen, and finish with a story that isnโt about running but somehow the most relevant subject to us.

Your complete holistic running companion podcast is back with more gear reviews, route recommendations, and mindset shifts that will really boost your running.
Thatโs what a normal podcast would say.
We say that we talked about bats, getting into a flow state in a nightmareish tunnel, penis issues, running around Tesco, and what if the next Speed movie was about an elderly lady who couldnโt stop at parkrun?
Thatโs more fun, right?

Stu has finally succumbed to carbon running shoes, although he still does not give a shit about them. Amy has successfully #builtuphermileage but now thinks that may be her downfall.
We also talk runfluencers yet again, race companies collapsing again, the worst time to wear a running vest again, and creepy post-parkrun comments (again?).

We learn about Amyโs fear of new technology and Stu wins an entire cross country division all on his own, or at least in his mind.
We have some brand new long run nightmare fuel, two toe tales, physio banter, something about the pigeon lady from Home Alone,ย and why we all need to build up another fuck bucket.

Stu and Amy give their top date advice in this episode, encourage listeners to glory in their mediocrity, and, above all, treat physios as the quacks and charlatans that they are.
We issue a stark warning to volunteer race marshals everywhere.
Also features one of the most niche Ramadan conversations youโll ever hear, but one Stu is absolutely obsessed with.

Amy just will not learn, as she embarks on yet another ill-fated route, but this time somehow enters a horse race.
Stewart gets filthy and worries about where to put his knob.
There is a lot of chat about whether or not you should wear a race t-shirt for a race you did not enter, or maybe finish, or maybe volunteered for. The conclusion will leave you underwhelmed.

Stu adds to his impressive tally of losing a race and legitimately winning a medal for it. Amy went for a run.
We chat shit about Taylor Swift, ponder future plans for immersive running experiences, badly transition between news stories, and ask how far is ok to race with a baby strapped to your chest?
