Bad Boy Running

Send us a textThere's a group of individuals that an elite group of runners that you'll never be able to join.They're the "Ever Presents" - a group that originally comprised 42 runners who have run every London Marathon since its inception in 1981. Only 10 remain, of which one is Chris Finill.As well as being an incredible runner who has run across the US and has been part of the British ultra team, Chris has achieved the record-breaking feat of running the most consecutive sub-3 hour marathons at London (total 33).But that's not all that has made the headlines. On his 39th London, he fell and broke his arm during the race... and carried on.Jody and David speak to Chris about being part of the Ever Presents and how he manages to stay running at such a high level throughout his running career.Enjoy!If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else.Join the conversation!

Send us a textWhy aren't runners considered when it comes to city and town planning?Whereas cyclists and pedestrians are considered, runners don't seem to get a look-in. Well, that's hopefully about to change with the launch of the Running Mayors.With each Running Mayor responsible for a different location, town or city, the idea is for runners to gain a voice when it comes to making decisions about spaces for runners.In this episode, Jody and David speak to Scott Cain of Runsome and founder of the Running Mayors to discover why this is needed and what runners can do to help. Enjoy!If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else.Join the conversation!

Send us a textKarl Bushby had a goal. It was to set out to walk around the world on foot. His plan was to take him from the bottom of South America all the way back to the UK via the Baring Straits (that had never been crossed on foot successfully since, well, the last Ice Age!).To say the journey has been epic is an understatement. He set off on his journey 20 years ago and through challenging circumstances,  problems at borders and a continuing drive to achieve what many thought was impossible, he's still at it. Speaking from a cafe with a very loud smoothie machine, Karl explains to Jody and David how his journey has looked so far and what his reasons were for doing it the way he has done it.Enjoy!If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else.Join the conversation!

Send us a textLaz is back and this time he's talking Big's Backyard and virtual races... something we didn't think we'd be speaking with Laz about a year ago!It's been a while since Jody and David spoke to Laz (aka Gary Cantrell) about the Barkley Marathons (if you've not listened, we suggest going back and listening to this first) and since then we'd had the National Running Show where Laz was star of the show and a global pandemic.As a result, Laz's usual roster of races hasn't gone ahead... but that has helped explode the popularity of the Big's Backyard race format and another huge virtual race run by Laz - The Great Virtual Race Across Tennessee. Jody and David discuss these with Laz.Laz also gives his view on the controversy surrounding the banning of BLM and political posts in the Facebook group.Oh, and a bit of a disclaimer - there was a bad lag which made it difficult for the conversation to flow as freely as intended.Enjoy!If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else.Join the conversation!

Send us a textIt's not often you wake up one day and think "I know what I'll do next... I'll run across the US!", but that's pretty much how Ashley Schneider started on her journey that has seen her cross the US multiple times. Quitting her job on a cruise ship and moving back to Wisconsin to plan, Ashley knew she wanted to run across the US in aid of raising money to support multiple sclerosis charities, a disease that affected her mother. Little did she realise that the whole first run across the States would result in the organisation that is today MS Run The US, that takes hundreds of ordinary runners and allows them to join in an epic journey.Jody and David speak with Ashley about the moment of her epiphany, how she prepared for that first race and the challenge of raising money and co-ordinating runners from all across the US. Enjoy!If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else.Join the conversation!
