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?

#115 - Bowels are Bullshit

We prepare for our upcoming ultras by getting lost before the recce even began, and running track races. Can you guess who did which? A strange animal warning, sports days, more dehydration, getting injured by a plant, and a dinosaur.

May the trail gods bless your run and may you find happiness in a petrol station. This episode is a bit shorter so you're going to have to run quicker!

#113 - Horoscopes are Bullshit

ANOTHER ultra. ANOTHER local race. MORE dog chat. The worst run Amy has EVER had. Getting lost, meetings, gravel, crying, very worrying PBs and the best motivation to run a PB ever.

#111 - Podcasting is Bullshit with Martinus Evans

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 LGBT+ friends going about their lives hoping the Daily fucking Mail doesn't turn up and start harassing you.

#110 - Back Injuries are Bullshit

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 while.

#109 - Pre-race Music is Bullshit

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.

#108 - Nipples are Still Bullshit

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 a toilet.

#107 - Head Squirrels are Bullshit

There was a horse incident, but we lived to tell the tale. Stu almost didn't live to tell the tale of his race, and Amy nearly got stuck in the Brecon Beacons. Just normal running stuff, right? We're knackered but still manage to wang on for over an hour about running being stupid and hard and stupid.

#106 - Elevation is Bullshit

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.

Running is BS

The best three weekly podcast that loves to hate running is back. There's the usual amount of bullshit, and somewhat inevitably, actual shit to discuss. We talk about American race fees, the 'Great' Runs and arbitrary scoring systems. Stu had so much to complain about he forgot to mention the extremely minor barbwire injury he got while trail running, but hopefully now you've read this and know about it.

Well Amy hasn't been running, but that's no longer a big deal as Stu can't stop racing for some reason. We have double guest action with Gary Damer and Dean Smith from Behind the Medal podcast, who definitely love running and swearing more than us!  We give you top dogging tips, and all we ask in return is your opinion on what Bullshit Tea should taste like. It makes more sense if you listen rather than reading this tbh...

Our yearly review of the year, and you guessed it, it was bullshit. Naturally, we bring you more exciting tea updates, and talk about Amy's ludicrously cute puppy Finley and how much he shits and has ruined her life. We talk about our new year's resolutions (don't hold your breath), and recap the Bullshit Running News that caught our eye during the year.

We also discuss running early, the ideal time to poo, massive ankles, why you hate cross training, and we have another running confession.

While we're still allowed to run, we'll still complain about it. We read out your running confessions, and will happily keep taking them on an ongoing basis because we know you're all terrible running sinners, and we can forgive you. We explain why you won't be seeing a BS face mask, get the lowdown on the Ross Barkley 5k, and tell fat-shaming advertisers to fuck the fuck off. Features an appearance from everyone's favourite corgi.

Providing a mild distraction from your lockdown, Running is BS delves into the bizarre world of the garden marathon, running up Everest in your house and other weird things desperate runners are doing to stay occupied and get their distance in. Has Amy been running? You may be pleasantly surprised. And Stu urges you to stop running up and down the same parks, canal paths, and streets and go and do a bit of exploring! Our guest this week is Gareth Allen, an ultra runner who live streamed his garden marathon to a worldwide audience!

Amy massively overreacts to a single comment about her audio and has taken a drastic solution to improve the ‘studio’.We inevitably drop the C-bomb as the world of running is now dominated by the reaction to COVID-19 and its impacts, as well as post-run showers, brambles, fancy teas, and fell races that haven’t been cancelled.We also ask very important questions such as “Would you wear a manbra” and “Is it ok to just go and run a strava segment?”… See more
