Send us a text"I didn't expect THAT!" Today's episode focuses on that wonderful moment we all run our first race. Yes, the newbie race experience and all those things about it no-one ever told you. Please note, in this episode, we discuss the Running Awards... which are now out of date as Bad Boy Running wasn't put into the final (we're going with a conspiracy theory). SO, PLEASE DON'T TRY TO VOTE - IT WON'T WORK! Anyway, it's been left in almost as a historical artefact, a memory of what might have been. In this episode: The chaps discuss children’s TV presenters (no, not 1970s ones...) Jody explains the concerns he has about the running club David reveals another enemy of his who is trying to overcharge him for his running club Jody is shocked by the lack of activity on David’s Plenty of Fish profile The duo can’t believe how over-exposed the comedian Catherine Ryan is… David explains how he’s his sponsors’ little bitch (and how they were adamant he entered a race where he got his arse kicked) Why David’s sponsors LOVE watching him getting his arse kicked Announcing the global search for a solution to David’s ankle David announces he’s running the Afghanistan Marathon and reveals he know NOTHING about what’s going to happen David lets listeners know what he looks for in a night out (not safe listening) Jody belatedly explains Bad Boy Running’s intentions to win the Running Awards… and David comes up with a plan which involves us dressing up [PLEASE DON’T VOTE - NOMINATIONS HAVE CLOSED] David and Jody FINALLY get round to talking about the subject A reader asks a brilliant question Why you should NEVER shLove the podcast and these videos?

Send us a textHere’s Part II of the Race Preparation episode. (To be honest, we could have squeezed it all into one much-shorter episode if we didn’t keep going off on tangents… but then that’s exactly what OTHER running podcasts would do, isn’t it?) In the second half we discover: Why you STILL shouldn’t have broccoli in the morning before the race David reveals his three-stop toilet strategy…. and the one tablet you need to take before your race The hydration technique that ensures you don’t need to keep weeing during the race David says expresso, not espresso…. expresso David’s counterintuitive anti-superstitious approach to race preparation Jody and David officially do the WORST Arnie accents David admits to talking to himself… and talking to himself like a proper twat The Ultimate Playlist idea to raise money and have the best music playlist of all time for your race Jody’s super-cold compression tights nightmare An interesting drinking game that involves pants… not best played with David The stretching question. Not answered. David shows off his Classics knowledge and fails Jody suggests a new challenge for David and tries to rope the listeners in Jody and David talk about The Running Awards and their experience last year David scuppers his chances writing for any major running blogs by slating most of them Enjoy!

Send us a textIn Part I of this special two-parter on Race Preparation, we discuss how to set yourself up for your best race ever… or at least not totally crash and burn. There’s some attempt to offer running advice in this episode. Clocking in at an hour and 40 minutes total run time, it would have to happen at some point on the balance of probability. Is it useful? Who knows… Here’s what Part I looks like: Jody and David demonstrate again why they shouldn’t have sponsors David explains the beauty of our latest sponsor (if you’ve heard of them, answers on a postcard please) David happens to mention that he’s won TWO races David makes another damaging revelation of something he’s SCARED of (we’ll be using this later…) Why you should always check which race your competitors are running David reveals he doesn’t actually know where the last race he won was David can’t hide his disappointment at feeling terrible after winning his races… (wtf?!) David’s date from the first podcast gets in touch The weekly check-in for David’s Plenty of Fish account… it’s barren ALERT! ALERT! Both Jody and David feel shame after reading a recent Runner’s World article… (this is disgusting) Why Jody and David need to UP the filth factor just to stay in business David reveals EXACTLY what he does with beetroot for a week before the marathon Why David often reverts to being a 90s A-level student on his races Jody’s marathon-long run-in with coconut water Enjoy!

Send us a textWarning! If you've not listened to another Bad Boy Running Podcast before, probably best not to start with this one... everything in this relates to other episodes. Wondered what had happened to all those challenges Jody and David set in the earlier episodes? No? Oh, well... you're going to hate this episode then as we catch-up on everything they've been up to, including: David reveals two (completely irrelevant to running) dating stories which reveal too much about David The first Bad Boy of the Month awards is handed out to an absolute star of a story. Jody and David react to their first ever one-star review (shocking purely because it took so long) Jody and David then react to NOT making the finals of The Running Awards and call on Anonymous to help them Oddly, the conversation veers onto who would play Jody and David in a movie about themselves... ... then the chaps discuss the first EVER Bad Boy Running Pubcrawl on Monday 28 January 2015. And the accompanying Virtual Run (no SERIOUSLY!) David gives an update on his Kenyan friend Boaz, who despite talking with him is still not convinced he’s a real person David reveals exactly what he’s done to get Jody into the ultramarathon theatre film… mainly consisting of lying about Jody’s acting credentials In a question from a listener, when is it acceptable to return the runner’s nod and how do you do it without looking dodgy? We re-open the DNF debate… and listeners give their feedback David realises his ‘humble’ approach may have made him more enemies Jody suggests using the Mourinho approach to winning races and not “looking like a cock” The guys veer into talking about the Marathon des Sables (again) and somehow end up attacking IronMan competitors (again) A general call out for more stupid challenges and feedback in the Facebook group Enjoy!
