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.
#178 - Overgrown Trails are Bullshit
01/06/2026 | 1 h 1 min
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 Enhanced Games set out to ‘transform sport’ but the results looked surprisingly ordinary
#177 - Twisting Your Ankle on a Completely Flat Field is Bullshit
18/05/2026 | 57 min
The Great Fall of 2026 has happened, but to the wrong host.
We talk quite a lot about AI and how stupid and annoying it is to use, as well as how useful it can be.
We've got plenty of listeners getting injured, a good few sensibly ignoring them, and our one-woman bullshit generator is very much back on form.
#176 - Racing Robots are Bullshit
27/04/2026 | 1 h 4 min
It's time to review the greatest and most important race of the year. No, not the London marathon, the Beijing Robot Half Marathon!
Even Amy gets caught up in the excitement of race season and nearly does a 5k race, whilst Stu's got Lidl to thank for another PB.
We also decide which injuries are the best to run through, discuss some of the worst chafing we've ever seen, and finish with a story that isn't about running in the slightest but somehow the most relevant subject to us.
#175 - Race Parking is Bullshit
13/04/2026 | 57 min
Your complete holistic running companion podcast is back with more gear reviews, route recommendations, and mindset shifts that will really boost your running.
That's 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 couldn't stop at parkrun?
That's more fun, right?

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.
