Thanks! HEALTH WARNING! Please do not consider anything they say as medically accurate or sensible. They have developed hardy livers to go with their callused feet. Here's some of the beer-fuelled banter in this episode: A superb demonstration by Jody and David why becoming a BBR sponsor is potentially the worst idea for an advertiser David shows a worrying lack of knowledge about female-based yeast infections Why Bad Boy Running is BIG in Japan and why Norway is the best place and How you can be the No.1 Bad Boy Running fan in your country (and possibly get arrested for the cause) David finds a way to try and spark Middle Eastern conflict among listeners of BBR and upset the Saudis Jody is properly loved up about running club and has something of a monetary revelation David upsets Jody by playing back his experience at the last Marathon du Medoc How to avoid getting a hangover (and no, the answer isn’t NOT DRINKING) Jody and David reveal the crafty, slightly worrying, place you can always sleep if you’re drunk… David talks about joining the Hash House Harriers Revealed!

Send us a textHallelujah, it's here. Jody finally makes the leap and goes to a running club... but was joining the right thing to do...?

Thanks! Now what were we talking about again...? Here's the lowdown in Episode 9: David admits to stalking Danny Kendall and ends up going for a run with him (and David offends everyone who has ever run the MdS who isn’t an elite runner…) We discover some of the sneaky tactics the elite runners at the MdS get up to… no, really! Hallelujah! Jody finally goes to his local running club, Haywards Heath Harriers… and ends up eating his words David comes in for some criticism from runner at Tyne Bridge Harriers (and Jody manages to offend the entire North East with a terrible Geordie impression) The chaps are wowed with a two theme tunes submitted by a listener… and they really are good. David rues the quality of modern dance music (while inadvertently undermining his case by admitting he thinks The Prodigy are good) David and Jody come up with a new kind of pizza based on the feedback from one listener. The Bad Boy Running Podcast receives what is possibly the most accurate (but in another way wholly inaccurate) review so far David admits he has a Facebook stalker and ponders whether to Friend him or whether he’s about to be the victim of a 419 scam The podcast hits a landmark… by officially saying something helpful to someone as one listener reveals David reveals a terrible devious side to himself in a discussion about shoes Michael Jackson is mentioned (needless to say you’re oLove the podcast and these videos?

Send us a textIt's a tough subject, but someone's gotta talk about it... yes, those dreaded three letters. D. N. F. Did Not Finish. In this episode, Jody and David talk all things DNF as they introduce the first (and possibly last) ever Bad Boy Running guest, ultra-athlete Stefanie Bishop. Here's what we got up to:  Jody confesses to doing something he’s never done before… and David shows absolutely no sympathy towards him (honestly, not a word of support) The chaps drop the bombshell that the actually have a guest… introducing the incredible extreme racing champion and Death Race veteran Stefanie Bishop Stefanie explains her experience of running the first winter Death Race, shooting 9mms and tackling Olympic wrestlers… as well as the slightly lacking ‘motivational’ speeches by the organiser to help you through it Stefanie ponders which is more difficult: sat in a cold pond for hours with hypothermia or drinking 4 litres of milk? Stefanie reveals the quality of the reward for completing Death Races (honestly, it’s worth spending hours in a pond with hypothermia for…) David recalls the first time he met Stef at a race… and it wasn’t pretty (for a very good reason) Why Stef had to be forced to DNF and why less clothes is often better (or not, as we discover) Stef reveals the frankly RIDICULOUS amount of time she spent trying to overcome one obstacle during a race (no, really you won’t believe this) David accidentally reveals the names of two people in a relationship no-one is supposed to know about ALERT, ALERT… a genuinely good idea actually features on the show! David decides to end the podcast episode on a particularly awkward question for Stef Enjoy! If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else.

Send us a textIf you were a fan of David from his Special Forces appearance, then this may be the episode that changes your opinion of him... (he goes into dark territory here.. only kidding!). In this episode, we're talking about elitism in running and whether some competitions need to be more elitist to actually mean anything. (Oh, and the Jody joining a running club saga continues to rumble on...) Here's some of the japery you can expect: Jody rolls out a new load of excuses and reveals the pitiful amount of running he’s done and cleverly tries to shift the blame for his lethargy by accusing David of being a poor motivator. Jody rolls out a new load of excuses and reveals the pitiful amount of running he’s done and cleverly tries to shift the blame for his lethargy by accusing David of being a poor motivator. Jody does a minimal amount of running and explains why he hasn’t been able to handle “the hilliest Parkrun in Sussex”. David recounts his first race for ages and inadvertently qualifies for the World Championships David explains why he’s not 100% convinced that’s he’s the best of the best of the best and why he won’t be going to the World Championships Jody and David are rude about Ohio… for no real reason. David tells a story about a friend who is inexplicably annoyed about a guy who invented a racket sport (the name of which David can’t remember) and has his own World Championships in that racket sport. David asks the question - are the OCR World Championships elitist enough? (And alienates half the audience…) Jody gets his Woody Allen mixed up with his Groucho Marx 19:21 The point at which David loses friends and immediately offends Jody Jody challenges David on the point of OCR and questions him on Tough Mudder David uses the word ‘Strava’ again.

Send us a textWhy do you race? That’s the question Jody and David are tackling this episode as they veer into banging on about whatever it is that helps them run. WARNING! This episode contains some actual information about running… please don’t hold it against them. Here’s some of the delightful highlights: Jody talks about completing his 30 day bodyweight challenge… and lets slip a revealing admission about his mum and karate David talks about his ankle…. again and makes the strangest comparison between running and playing the violin An inspirational message to all the non-runners who’ve persisted in listening to Bad Boy Running thus far David thinks about getting an Iron Man tattoo and explains how he earned/scammed a rare Tough Mudder headband The duo question the point of race t-shirts and badly explain Comrades Marathon Why MDS 1st Brit Danny Kendal is better at dancing and writing theme tunes than David (probably) At some point it gets quite philosophical and some actual advice is shared around the 25 minute mark - just skip this if it feels out of keeping with previous content Enjoy!

Some of the things we talk about include: The many reasons why Jody STILL hasn’t joined a running club What the point of those terrible clickbait running listicle features are A list of the worst things you can possibly do before trying to run a marathon (our suggestions are quite frankly ludicrous…) Why David claims to be the slowest person to have run a 2.45 marathon… (or at least explains what the hell he’s talking about when he makes such a claim) Jody getting annoyed at David’s constant mentions of beetroot and demanding an explanation Enjoy!

Send us a textWe're not exaggerating by claiming this is a classic episode. We say that about every episode... but this one is a bit special with Jody and David talk about David's entry into BBC Two's Special Forces Hell Week series. For some reason, some unsavoury characters also pop up in conversation. Here's what went wrong: Why Jody’s wife is suspicious of his reasons for recording this podcast and David makes a damaging faux pas about Jody's wife Mo Farah leaves a review for the Bad Boy Running Podcast and Jody & David plan to ‘help’ UK Athletics with a generous offer Jody drops the C-bomb and rants about middle-class accountants Jody admits to having played in a netball team at school David’s trick to sounding like you’re great at a sport David reveals his Special Forces Hell Week involvement David explains how he researched Special Forces… on Youtube and reveals his training regime Why endurance was the best prep for the show David makes a damaging admission about how he likes to train… in the showers Jody’s talks about his experience training with the Royal Marines… and the shock in store when everyone walked into the mess hall The “hidden” final Royal Marine Commandos test Jody wants to know about the fun facts which were used to preview David’s Mudstacle profile David explains how he was involved in the biggest pub crawl of all time and was also the fastest fairy and how he beat Mo Farah TWICE How David taught Howard Marks to play poker Jody gets a bit confused and mistakes Howard Marks for a Nineties pop crooner David explains how he Love the podcast and these videos?

Send us a textHere's what goes down in this episode: David liberally dishes out his plentyoffish.com nickname for any interested ladies David ponders the similarities between Jody and Graham Norton David makes the outlandish claims he’s strained his ankle in his sleep Jody’s pressured into filming a viral video to promote the podcast What makes a great race, not a good race, a GREAT race The guys extol the virtues of London Marathon and why you should make it your first marathon David ruins his chances of ever being a London pacer again with a damaging admission Why David’s favourite race is one you’ve probably never heard of Why you need to beware of Dutch men in coaches David explains why you should never do a great race two years in a row Why you shouldn’t dress as a member of the Ku Klux Klan on a race David reveals the best race you can’t enter with an eye-watering £8,000 entry free and Jody gets really confused at his explanation of what happens during the race… (and you will too) David unashamedly plugs one of his running products Jody and David use the word ‘unbelievable’ a few too many times Jody’s put off the running club experience.

Send us a textJody and David turn their attention to running clubs and the pros and cons of joining one. But in case you thought it was getting too serious, there’s also chat about Pokemon, Stormtroopers and booty sculpting… Here’s what went down in this episode:  How a children’s TV star of yesteryear is officially faster than Jody over marathon distance David takes his inspiration from a famous band for his rendition of the theme tune… not that you’ll ever be able to tell who David wonders why his ankle isn’t getting better after running on its for 15 miles and then drops a bombshell about his dating situation (it’s not good news… although that doesn’t stop Jody having a good laugh about it). David gives out his dating profile... women everywhere shrug their shoulders Jody makes some pathetic excuses and jumps into an exciting new exercise routine that may or may not be for guys David makes a terrible suggestion for a fitness video for listeners Jody reveals his cunning strategy to run 100 miles… by not running long distances Jody does what he never thought he’d ever consider and David effectively calls him a hipster Jody gives his uncensored, irrational opinion about running clubs (and David try to talk him down) David puts up a sterling defence for running clubs and explains why he likes it rigid David totally belittles Jody’s marathon best with a story about his ex then almost talks Jody out of joining a running club Why Tynebridge Harriers is the best running club to model, according to David Jody reveals his reluctance to wear running gadgets (even though he used to review…) Why David loves a good Sunday run after going on tLove the podcast and these videos?
