Send us a textDavid returns from a running weekend in Spain to talk about his race with Briggsy and Jody recounts Libby's Brighton half marathon endeavours in this partner-focused episode. But not before taking aim at a certain Radio 1 DJ... In this episode you'll hear: Why Greg James might be the new Eddie Izzard (and why he's the unluckiest guy on earth picking this time to do his Three Peaks Challenge) Why Drake is the dullest pop star in the history of music (no idea...) David tries out some Eminem-style rapping (the result is just as bad as it sounds) Why going to Barcelona is a bit like visiting Wales David makes a bold claim about the finish at Seville Marathon... ... and reveals his cheeky miscalculation which resulted in a PB for Briggsy Jody reveals his "blind training run" strategy for getting Libby's mileage up on his final long run before the Brighton Half Marathon Jody also reveals his one and only snowboarding experience and why he's unlikely to do it again Why Jody's training in the last few weeks has been horrific (even though his body reckons everything's ok) Where you need to be on your marathon plan for London Marathon, Brighton Marathon or any of the spring marathons Book recommendation: How Not To Die Why making your own milk is a total disaster (as per Scott Jurek's suggestions) Jody's scathing review of How To Get Fit on ITV (he lasted until the cycling segment)  Again no Silk Cut on this episode... it's just BBR chat!

Send us a textThis episode has a true international feel to it, as Jody and David discuss David's recent trip to Somaliland via Ethiopia... ... during which David won the Somaliland International Marathon. Among the topics up for discussion on this episode are: David's uber-romantic Valentine's Day gift for Briggsy The unbearable difficulty of getting your hands on a pair of Nike Vaporfly... ... and why David may need surgery to wear his pair Jody gets more excuses in for his Sub4 challenge What David has in common with a 60 year old, a Mongolian man and pretty much everyone else getting a visa at the airport How David ended up going to Somaliland What it's like Hashing in Ethiopia Where David got his Poundland Bad Boy Running vest from David's race strategy for the Somaliland Marathon (or how he reeled them in one-by-one) The incredible winning trophy and goodies David received What it's like to be a celebrity in Somaliland (at least among taxi drivers) Why David now feels equipped to taunt Mo Farah Jody and David shower praise on Lee Stuart-Evans's successful attempt at the 10,000 Calorie Challenge... and challenge the Do-Badders to come up with some more challenges for Lee No Silk Cut here... it's all us, baby!

Send us a textThis is the second part of the DNAFit testing episode. If you've not listened to the first part, we suggest you go back and listen to that first... otherwise, nothing from here on in is going to make sense. In this two-parter, Andrew Steele of DNAFit joins Jody and David to reveal the results of their fitness DNA tests. Will David prove to be the super-human we all knew he was? Will Jody still have an excuse for his poor performances and lack of speed? Listen in and find out who WINS The Battle of The Genes. A few weeks ago, Jody and David provided swabs to DNAFit who tested and produced a profile for both. On this podcast, you'll discover: Why Andrew quit his career as a 400-metre runner and became a genetics expert How he's famous in Botswana for a surprising (but very Do-Badder) reason Why David may have been training wrong all this time  Why your genes will always be secondary to something far more powerful How to blind a scientist using just coffee Why Jody should NEVER use one of David's Caffeine Bullets  Why David's relationship with beer is in his genes What Jody's No.1 genetic superpower is... and why he'll NEVER get to use it All this and much more... Re: The Silk Cut... Sorry, Fi but this episode is ALL about Jody and David. There's no way to cut them out.  If you've not listened to Part 1, we suggest you go back and listen to that episode first.  Join the conversation!

Send us a textIn this episode, David talks to Do-Badder Allie Bailey on her recent return from running the route of the Mongolia 100 - set to launch next year. She explains exactly what went down when a handful of Do-Badders (and G-Law) did when they raced 100 miles across a frozen lake in Mongolia. Allie reveals: How the hell she got roped into doing it in the first place The extremely limited diet of a Mongolia ultrarunner Why you need to leave the wood burner in your yurt the hell alone if you don't want to end up naked in the middle of a frozen lake trying to cool down The best strategy to get you from one side of the lake to the other Why you WILL probably die if you run this race if you don't take it seriously and trying winging it like most Brits at multi-day events (yep, we're looking at you again MdS) What the great and good of Mongolian government thought when they enjoyed an evening of vodka and more vodka with the Do-Badders And David also takes this opportunity to introduce Allie as BBR's new roving interviewer/interviewee (he's not quite sure which...). WELCOME ALLIE! Even with the new level of maturity Allie brings to the podcast, Jody and David still try to pre-empt this by talking absolute rubbish before and after the interview.

Send us a textIn one of our most popular episodes, we spoke with former GB athlete Colin McCourt onto the podcast to talk about his 16 min 5k challenge which could have resulted in £1700 if he won or 17 tattoos of his mates' names adorned across his body if he lost. Well, he's back and his challenge has concluded... and he did it! (Oh wait... maybe we should have added a SPOILERS warning there...) In this episode Colin picks up where we left on his journey and reveals: The point where he got REALLY worried he wasn't going to make it What his mates thought when he finally succeeded What's happened to him in his past year during the challenge and how life has changed Why he never got the £40 Dominos deal he wanted at the end of the 5k His best kit he received and used during the last 12 months What he would have done DIFFERENTLY if he was doing it all again ... and what his next challenge might be The Silk Cut is at 34 minutes if you want to jump straight to the interview and not listen to some talk about running and the #DestroyTomDark Sub4 marathon challenge. Although there is a really interesting discussion about whether one Do-Badder would be ideal for doing the 10,000 Calorie Challenge. Join the conversation!

Send us a textBack by popular demand, 100-mile record holder and race beer aficionado Camille Herron returns to talk about the records she's smashed since she was last on the show as well as reveal her secret to her Comrades Marathon success. Here's what you'll hear on this episode: Camille reveals how she approached her latest three record-breaking races Why Comrades was such an important race for Camille (and the book she read at 13 that inspired her love of running) How Camille explains how she trains for hills... when you don't have any hills How Camille almost didn't finish Comrades even though she was metres from the end (mistaken for celebrating too early!) Advice from Camille on why you don't need books to improve your running (you just need to follow this one simple rule) Camille reveals the exact amount of nutrition you need for an ultra that made the biggest difference to her running Why she never does back-to-back long runs, despite doing weekend mileage of 40-50 miles (here's how) Why Camille trains 90% on the road to improve her trail running The Total Do-Badder method of race recovery that Camille adheres to As you'd expect, it's another great interview from Camille with plenty to learn and be inspired from. That's doesn't apply to the intro and analysis from Jody and David which runs the gamut from catching up on running (or lack of) and   If you want to skip straight to the Camille interview, The Silk Cut on this episode is around 42 minutes.
