Send us Fan MailMarilyn Okoro's experience of being denied further funding to continue her athletics career really is a thing of shame. That's why Jody and David invite her onto the podcast to talk about her experience and uncover just how closed the system really is.Now a vocal advocate for athletes, Marilyn enjoyed success on the track finishing third in the 800 metres at the 2007 and 2008 IAAF World Athletics Final and bronze in the 4 x 400 metres relay at the 2007 World Champs.She is a holder of an Olympic bronze medal for the 4 x 400 metres relay after two teams that finished ahead of them in the 2008 Beijing Olympics were disqualified for doping and they were retrospectively handed the medal... EIGHT years later! (No prizes for guessing that one of the disqualified teams was Russia - the other was Belarussia).In this episode, Marilyn talks about her path into the sport and the issues she faced working with UK Athletics and a hierarchy who insisted she did things their way. This is a really eye-opening episode that gives you an insight into the way athletes are treated by the funding bodies who have the power to make or break careers based on sometimes quite oblique criteria.Enjoy!If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else.Join the conversation!

Send us Fan MailWhen you go to your doctor with a serious knee and ligament injury sustained while playing your sport of choice, football, you'd expect their advice to be "rest up, relax and stay off it". What you wouldn't expect is to be told "try running on some mountainous trails and see how it goes..." But that's exactly what happened to Pau Cappell when his sporting career looking under jeopardy at a young age. Once he hit those trails the knee injury disappeared and his love of trails began. And what a career he's had culminating most recently in his victory at the UTMB in 2019. While 2020 was somewhat disrupted, he attempted to break the UTMB record solo as part of a North Face attempt. In this episode, Jody and David speak to Pau about this attempt, his early running life and go into detail about his incredibly detailed race plans. ** Want 15% off your next food order ** This episode is sponsored by Food Hub, supporting independent local restaurants and takeaways.

Send us Fan MailSometimes running around your local park for a timed, weekly 5k just doesn't cut it. You want some more adventure, some more culture, something that completely changes the way you see the world. No, we're not talking Brighton Marathon... we're talking participating in races that take place in some unusual and largely unvisited ares of the world - or areas where you would NEVER think of travelling right now. Step in James Willcox, founder of Untamed Borders, a company that specialises in just that. When David ran the Afghanistan marathon, it was Untamed Borders who supported the race with their on-ground knowledge. In this episode, David speaks to James about organising and visiting places that are off-the-map to so many, the challenges and the benefits of seeing the world from a different perspective.

Send us Fan MailCameron Wurf is that annoying kid at school who was naturally amazing at every sport he played. You know the one. He can literally pick a sport and be amazing at it. The Aussie was first a national champion and Olympic level rower, then jumped over to cycling before moving to Team Ineos where he has his the Ironman World Champs as his target. Just a matter of fact, he trains with some of the world's greatest athletes including Chris Froome and Eliud Kipchoge.

Thabang is a multiple champion of South African trails and - in the predominantly white trail running community - he has dominated and became the first black athlete to represent South Africa in trail running.

Send us Fan Mail“All women need to change their training plans.“ It’s a bold statement, but have you had training sessions that have just gone badly, where you’ve felt like crap and you can’t explain why or had weeks when you feel invincible? It’s likely to be because of when you were in your menstruation cycle. David, Jody and Allie speak to Renee McGregor about how the hormones women produce at different times of their cycle directly affect performance, nutritional needs and even when you should race. We find out why and how to create training plans to match your varying physiology so you can not only train smarter and banish the bad days but also use your cycle to your advantage.

Send us Fan MailWe don't care what you've done in ultrarunning, your achievements are nothing compared with Mimi Anderson's. With a bunch of Guinness World Records to her name, Mimi has ticked off so many of the iconic ultraraces and more, including Double Badwater, Spartathlon, 6633 Ultra, JOGLE, and won a legion of fans in the process. She's known as the world's most inspirational female runner for a reason. Starting her running career at 36, Mimi jumped straight into the frying pan with the Marathon des Sables and her list of achievements quickly grew from there. Running offered Mimi so much, but the level of endurance has also caused issues and injuries which now prevents her from competing at the same level (sadly, she's turned to the Dark Side, i.e. triathlon). David talks to Mimi about her career and the impact shifting away from running is having - plus a warning for those ultrarunners who are pushing themselves to the edge. Enjoy!

Send us Fan MailDo you have a survivor's instinct? Would you step up when the chips are down and your life was on the line? Or would you crumble into a sobbing, pathetic mess like a triathlete who lost their left shoe in transition? On this episode, the guys speak with Joe Oldendorf - a true survivor. Joe went out for 20 mile long run on a remote trail in his home of Washington State and fell and broke his leg after 12 miles. His injury was so severe he was unable to walk. Fortunately, he had his phone. Unfortunately, there was no signal. So, he crawled for 12 hours to get within phone signal range so he could call 911. 12 hours! David speaks to Joe about his experience and what kept him going for that amount of time with his ankle detached from his tibia. (Urgh!) This is properly inspiring. Enjoy!

Send us Fan MailWhen you're the husband and coach for ultrarunning champ Camille Herron, you would be forgiven for thinking you're somewhat in the shadows. But Connor Holt is a serious athlete who was "kind of a big deal" during his college years and has a fascinating story to tell about how he started out, his experience of moving to the US and the collegiate system and meeting Camille. Talking to Jody and David, Connor also provides an insight into how he coaches Camille and why he's focused on her becoming the greatest of all time. Oh, and did we mention he's hilarious, too!

Send us Fan MailTim Shieff is a freerunning champion, Ninja Warrior and former OCR competitor. But it's not necessarily his athletic achievements that always get the headlines. Tim has been on a journey through his life to find the optimal combination of nutrition and lifestyle to complement his activities - which has led him down some unconventional routes. Jody and David discuss this with him before moving onto the subject of veganism - which Tim vehemently rejects having been a prominent vegan for many years. There's actually VEGAN CUT in this episode at 1:33 if you want to skip straight to it or AVOID it completely. This is a long single episode because the guys had recording issues halfway through and Jody wasn't able to join the discussion about veganism. So there is a longer discussion after the interview.

Send us Fan MailJody and David discussed the sub-20 minute 5k/Ironman bet before Christmas... ... but for some reason that episode got lost. Since then, the aftermath has been discussed but for you, the listener, it probably made ZERO sense. Now, we know why. So, here's the episode that should have been released back in December... to shine some light on it. Enjoy!

Send us Fan MailThe is Part 2 of the Nick Butter interview after he became the first runner ever to complete a marathon in all 196 countries in the world. In this episode, Allie and David speak to Nick about how the whole adventure came together and exactly how you bring such an endeavour to reality in terms of logistics and funding (clue: it's tough!) this episode is split into two parts. This shouldn't need explaining but we will because there's always one but... you need to listen to Part 1 first (ep 201) and THEN listen to Part 2 (this episode). Enjoy!

As befitting such an adventure, this episode is split into two parts.

Send us Fan MailWow, we’ve got a treat of an episode for you. For many months, Jody and David have time and again brought up the issue of doping as the subject seems to permeate every discussion of athletic achievement. Now, to separate fact from fiction, the chaps speak to former World Anti-Doping Association deputy director general Rob Koehler who offers an inside look at the issues at hand and the state of athletics today. He also explains why he feels ALL Russian athletes should be banned at the Olympics. This really is an eye-opener and worth a listen. Rob also discusses his new role as head of Global Athlete, an athletes advocacy group with the power to stand up to brands and associations where power is entrenched (you won’t believe how bad this is until you hear his examples of this happening!). Plus there’s some gibberish from the guys before the interview gets started. Enjoy! If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else.
