Bad Boy Running

Send us Fan MailToday's episode is an absolute treat with a great runner and all-round nice guy, Harvey Sweetland Lewis. Harvey has done it all, representing Team USA at the 24 Hour Ultrarunning Champs, competing in some of the biggest races in the world including winning Badwater Ultramarathon. David met Harvey on the Marathon des Sables and has been trying to get him on the show for a while. And what an interview! Jody and David quiz Harvey about his running career and his multiple attempts at Badwater.

Send us Fan MailJody and David once again speak to blind ultrarunner, adventurer and Stateside Do-Badder, Rhonda-Marie Parke (she got married!). She's back and talking about completing her latest challenge, the 500k Vol State Ultramarathon that runs through five states. Oh yeah, and she did it all UNGUIDED. There be much insanity in this episode. In this episode you'll discover: Why you DON'T want to cross the finish line of this race (you will literally die) Why lovely long open roads are a very different proposition at night How Rhonda-Marie dealt with all the factors aside from the 300+ miles she had to run Why this may Rhonda-Marie's last ever ultramarathon Rhonda-Marie's "coyote strategy" for dealing with packs of coyotes (seriously...) The perils of running without a guide Her race strategy for staying ahead of the pack (both coyotes and other runners) The close call at the end of the race when a HUGE storm came in How she's coping with not running because of a stress fracture Before the interview, Jody and David discuss a surprising running club and get into a discussion about running and motivation. Somehow, David suggests a new challenge for Jody to break his 5k PB time. And it could result in Jody getting divorced. But they need your suggestions to make the challenge work.

Send us Fan MailAllie Bailey joins David Hellard as they grill James Elson, who is not only race director of Centurion Running that runs classic 100 and 50 miler races, including the South Downs Way 100, North Downs Way 100, Thames Path 100 and Autumn 100... ... but he's also an incredible ultrarunner himself having competed in some of the world's best-known and toughest ultras. In this episode, you'll discover: Why James was suitably impressed with Hellard's first ultra attempt at Country To Capital The lengths James went to in order to qualify for Badwater How the challenge of running a 100 miler has changed The funniest complaint James has ever received moment after a competitor finished The amazing lengths James went to in the early days of Centurion to organise the race The importance of volunteers in 100 milers and how volunteering at aid stations can add to your ultra training How to tell when someone's "done" on a 100 miler (and when to dust them off and kick them back out there...) How "what is possible" has changed in terms of the times of running 100 milers The competitor who has achieved an incredible 28 consecutive DNFs on Centurion events (honorary Do-Badder status right there!) Why the Autumn 100 should be your first 100 miler (if you're thinking about doing a 100 miler) Before jumping into the interview, Allie and David debrief after their live podcast broadcast at the Lovetrails Festival where the Commandment of BBR are revealed.

Send us Fan MailSometimes Jody and David find themselves without a guest. They sit and wait diligently on Skype but the guest is a no-show. (It's usually because they're realised at the last minute what the show is about and are running for the hills. Pretty fair, we reckon.) So the chaps use this time to catch-up on what's been going on in the world of BBR and general weirdness. In this episode, you'll hear about: The unbearable awfulness/greatness of running with your top off Why Jody and David can't actually remember how long they've been podcasting for Why the OCR European Champs may have been a touch too hard this year and why that's bad How Killian Jornet destroyed the Bob Graham Round (in a good and bad way) Some cycling and why it's bad (obvs) The brand new BBR Instagram account (it's ace, look it up) An explosive race David comes up with that NO-ONE will ever want to run David and Jody review some of their reviews on iTunes (they now have a new favourite one star review) PLUS this episode features perhaps the greatest STING yet right at the start (and yes, that IS Brian Blessed).

Send us Fan MailIt's another returnee to the Bad Boy Running podcast. After the DNAFit episode with Andrew Steele where Jody and David faced off to see who had the best genes (David won), Andrew returns to talk about his time as an Olympian. Andrew spent 12 years as an Olympic athlete competing in the 400 metres and 4x400 metre relay for Team GB and won a bronze medal at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games (although not *actually* at the games... he explains why). If you want an insider's view of what it's like to train for and compete in the Olympics, this is the episode for you. Plus there's the usual updates and jibber jabber from Jody and David, (and Jody seems to go full "support group" on us). All will be revealed in the episode.

Send us Fan MailThis episode is a bit of a treat... and is very different from other episodes published. In this instalment of BBR, Jody and David speak with Sky Sports presenter Charlie Webster about her epic charity bike ride two years ago through the Amazon which ended in near-disaster. Just weeks later, she was lying in a hospital bed in a coma fighting for her life as she battled malaria with her mother beside her ready to say goodbye. Seriously, this is an inspirational, shocking and kind of heart-breaking account from Charlie who doesn't pull any punches and reveals everything. (Jody and David will tell you it's their clever, disarming interview style... but don't let that fool you) Seriously, give this a listen. It's two hours of incredible stuff.

Send us Fan MailIn this week's episode Jody and David are talking food (or fuel) depending on how you refer to your race nutrition. And there are few people as qualified to talk about race nutrition, especially for ultras as Renee McGregor, performance dietician and author of books including Training Food and the Fast Fuel series. Hang on to your macros, as Jody and David squeeze every ounce of knowledge from Renee's brain on the subject (hint: this is one of those really practical, useful episodes that sometimes accidentally slip through the net...)

Send us Fan MailIt's a cracker of an episode this week with Jody and David speaking to the legendary Thomas Blanc, OCR athlete, adventure runner and now quality manager for Spartan. They specifically discuss Thomas's recent running of Survival Nicaragua and everything competitors had to do on this crazy-ass race. Here's what you'll discover: Why a career in agriculture and farming is the best preparation for the race Why running with your sister is ALWAYS better than running with your partner Why you should NEVER replace eggs with children What Thomas's exact role is for Spartan and how he run his eye over Spartan races to make sure they're up to scratch How he had to bribe a Greek farmer to get his Spartan Spartan race run Of course, there's the usual catch-up shenanigans from Jody and David before and after, including an unprecedented amount of time dedicated to just two Netflix recommendations and discussing the question "why would you ever run Barklay Marathons?". Which means the Silk Cut is at a punchy 32 minutes (skip ahead if you just want to hear the soothing tone of Thomas's silky Gallic voice). Salut!

Send us Fan MailOk, this has been a long time coming due to various technical issues with the recording but finally it's here. Jody and David sit down with Matt Fitzgerald, author of multiple running books including 80/20 Running and Racing Weight. They're specifically focused on 80/20 in this episode and the importance of managing intensity when training. There's loads of great stuff in this interview with Matt and (fortunately for Fi Silk) very little chitter chatter from Jody and David - mainly because all that content was lost.

Send us Fan MailThe guys speak with former Running Bug head of content Rhalou Allerhand (at the time of the podcast. Rhalou's now back at Runner's World) about running journalism, what people want to read about and some weird races you not have heard of. When we say this episode is surprising, we REALLY mean it. Right away the conversation takes a turn Jody and David never expected and never recovers (fortunately). This is proper Do-Badder territory. In this episode discover: The origins of a naked race through a zoo (and the right outfit to wear. Oddly...) How Rhalou ended up in the world of running journalism via a very surprising route (and how that's affected what she's covered) Exactly what online readers want to read about (this will surprise you) Why you need a baby goat to succeed in online journalism The crazy races Rhalou has participated in (and why you may want to avoid them) Why you should never accept the advances of old ladies wandering around forests Why being good at running isn't a prerequisite for writing great content How to stay enthusiastic about the subject you're writing about (i.e. how to keep falling in love with running over and over again) The Silk Cut is at 36 mins if you want to avoid hearing Jody make a very, very damaging admission involving cycling...

Send us Fan MailIn 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...).

Send us Fan MailIn 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.

Send us Fan MailOk, this week's episode is a bit special. And not in that way. Bad Boy Running has bumped this right up the schedule because we had Camille booked in to speak to Jody and David simply for her badass drinking antics (and the fact she's sponsored by a brewery). But as if by a huge amount of luck, Camille ( @runcamille ) only went and broke the 100 mile record at the Tunnel Hill 100 #TunnelHill100... on her FIRST attempt at a 100 miler. CRAZY! It's a slightly shorter interview with Camille on this episode but the guys manage to pack in: How Camille manages to sneak in a beer or two on the race and how she discovered it as a race strategy (she even has a medical explanation which leaves the lads confused) Exactly what Camille eats when she's running her 100 milers (or any race) Why her weekly mileage will make your eyes water (no, seriously. SERIOUSLY this is ridiculous) Why she decided to make the transition from road ultras to trail And what she's planning next Seriously, this is a great one. Join the conversation!

Before the guys speak to Jon, David recalls his experience of this year's Marathon du Medoc, reveals a challenge by Monkey Tennis podcast, talks "easter eggs" and reveals why he has a beer named after him. Then the guys speak with Jon Albon (interview starts on 42 minutes, if you want to skip ahead like Fi Silk...) In this episode, Jon reveals: How he got started running and his crazy-good first ever race (you won't believe his first ever race time) How he progressed in the sport and became involved in OCR and then Skyrunning His 30 second sleep trick at that infamous Winter Nuts How he preps for races and how he trains away from running ... and his exact stats (so you can compare and contrast... and weep) Listen to this episodes and you'll get a glimpse into the mind of a serious competitor and champion (... so it's a pretty big contrast from Jody and David's ramblings) Oh, and make sure you listen to Part 2.

Send us Fan MailThere's little the guys love more than talking about beer. Ok, probably drinking beer... but that doesn't exactly make a great podcast episode. In this episode, Jody and David talk to British 1500m athlete Dale Clutterbuck who is looking to improve on his European Beer Mile record for the Beer Mile... but taking on the very best again in the Beer Mile World Champs shortly. Dale reveals all about correct beer chugging technique and the pitfalls of training for such an auspicious event. He also reveals what life was like at St Mary's, tells tales of a bust-up on the track and gives his uncensored opinion on the state of athletics. Also in this episode, Jody and David carry on the drinking theme by getting all nostalgic about the awful stuff they drank as teenagers... It's a pretty alcoholic and often nonsensical episode. Just the same as usual then... Enjoy! If you liked this episode, head over to iTunes, subscribe to the podcast and then go to Facebook and joint the Bad Boy Running Podcast Facebook Group.

Send us Fan MailFinally! It's the hashing episode... with special guest Sweetheart, aka Philip Ralph (if you're wondering why he has a nickname all is explained). Hash House Harriers are all over the world (self-styled as "drinking clubs with a running problem") and drinking is a BIG part of the draw. As a long time hasher David (aka Princess) tries to explain to Jody (aka Jody) the appeal of hashing and brings in his pal Philip (aka Sweetheart) to explain all. The guys talk about the origins of hashing, what actually happens on a hash and whether Jody would be an absolutely idiot to attempt to come hashing and risk being given a hideously offensive nickname. Jody remains wholly skeptical of the whole thing throughout, while "Princess" and "Sweetheart" try to convince him of the fun communal aspect of hashing.

Send us Fan MailThe guys start off by talking about Jody's long term running goals and come to some interesting conclusions.

The OMM also features and David talks us through the gorgeous views, his excellent map work, and once again our favourite triathlete features fairly heavily.

Twenty minutes in the guys give a formal intro to the podcast and then discuss the topics for today’s episode. Jody runs very far, we find out his experience of this and how it compares to other races he’s done and David yells at people at London Marathon. All of the yelling is very justified.

Send us Fan MailJody and David are joined by Tom Davies an adventure racer who has taken part in not one, but TWO insane world championships. They discuss the dangers that he faced such as crocodiles, white water rivers, and, perhaps worst of all, riding a bike. Despite Jody's dismay at the fact that David got a cyclist on the podcast, this turns out to be an episode not to be missed. If you've never heard of adventure racing before this is a nice (and inspiring) overview of a sport that can be both strategic and exciting.
