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. So finally - and probably far too late for your training to make any difference - here's Matt Fitzgerald talking 80/20.

Send us Fan MailIt's a catch-up episode with Jody and David and, for once, they're talking about running. In this episode you'll learn: Why Mike Bushell is clearly playing for laughs at the Commonwealth Games How BBR have managed to end up at the Running Awards again (and still with no sign of a trophy...) David reveals another romantic gesture from an old flame that went horribly wrong when the lady in question failed to understand his esoteric reference Jody explains his Sub4 failure at Brighton Marathon and why it's better to run a 4:40 than a 4:01 A full list of all the things Jody got wrong on his marathon... ... and the one thing he got right (i.e. the location) What is absolutely amazing about being a Do-Badder An introduction to a race you may not have heard of before... that begins with M and ends in "onarch's Way" Why BBR is the best community on the internet (seriously, guys and ladies, we LOVE you...) David talks through his Arran Ultra experience and his surprisingly hard second day racing The boggy joy that one Do-Badder founds themselves stuck in How David managed to get Caffeine Bullet promotion in despite racing Sorry, Fi.

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...)

Send us Fan MailIt's one of the episodes you've been waiting for... Jody and David speak with Sean Conway, adventurer extraordinaire and multiple record holder. But that's not before the chaps go off on a complete tangent about news and current affairs (seriously, not seriously), wannabe explorers wearing pants up Snowden and midlife crises. In this episode, here's what you'll discover: Why Sean sold his business for £1... and then what he did with that £1 How to cycle across the world on a budget... ... and survive being knocked over with a car (and then going on to CONTINUE the run) Why Sean WANTS you to become an investment banker and forget about David comes up with an idea to discourage people running bad marathons David then comes up with the strangest idea for a new race, involving the star of Con Air David reveals his race nightmare at the Edinburgh Ultra (and finally settles the question of which is better... PS It's not Edinburgh Marathon) Watch out for the second part of the interview where Sean reveals more about his adventures.

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!

Send us Fan MailWe've got an epic two-parter with OCR World Champ and Skyrunner, Jonathan Albon. 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.

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.

Send us Fan MailJust like last week, Jody and David were worried. New listeners have flocked to the podcast in their tens, but how would they keep up with the obtuse in-jokes without alienating the new audience? Well, as one smart Do-Badder suggested, they decided to record an A-Z of Bad Boy Running jokes covering all the references and in-jokes that have been made throughout the previous episodes so that it all makes sense! This was advertised as a two-parter but, due to the sheer quantity, will now end up being a three-parter. Perhaps U should be for Unfulfilled Promises, right Josh? Anyway...

Send us Fan MailJody and David were worried. With all the new listeners, how were they going to continue making obtuse in-jokes and not alienate the audience? Well, as one smart Do-Badder suggested: why not record an A-Z of Bad Boy Running covering all the references and in-jokes we made in all the previous episodes so it ALL MAKES SENSE. (Of course, you could listen to all the previous episodes but this is a much more effective way of aggressively cornering your way to Do-Badder expertise...) This may be useful if you're training for a marathon, ultramarathon, the Marathon des Sables or any OCR race (for SEO purposes, of course). If you want to get somebody on the podcast then find us on Facebook by searching Bad Boy Running Podcast and asking to be accepted into the group, from there it's simply a case of making suggestions. You can also email the show via [email protected] We are also available on twitter, Jody is @UltrarunnerJody, David is @DavidHellard and the joint account is @BadBoyRunning1 Lastly don't forget to subscribe if you want the podcast whenever it's available!

Send us Fan MailIt's finally here! After a year of building up to Nuts Challenge, Jody finally gets the chance to run the course. Spoiler: it didn't go quite to plan. David and special guest Pete Rees from Mudstacle go back over the race with Jody to discover what went well, what went badly and what makes Nuts such a special race (hint: it's not the abuse). Jody reveals all his mistakes in the build-up (including an abortive attempt at CrossFit) and his cut-off woes. If you've not watched the video, check out the attempt here on MustacleTV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0eDj-GId1c&t=312s And he answers the BIG QUESTION: will he attempt 4 laps of Winter Nuts next year?

Send us Fan MailToday the guys talk to Colin McCourt, a former pro-athlete who is documenting his transformation back into shape. His friends have all bet him £100 that he can't do a sub-16 minute 5k by the end of this year. If he wins, that's a nice windfall, if he loses, he has to get seventeen first and second names tattooed on his body. David and Jody start off with the basic questions about how's training going, whether it's realistic, before, in classic Do-Badder style, they veer off course and end up talking up about how social media could be used by those who are of a higher profile to bring more attention to the sport.

Send us Fan MailHave you ever considered changing styles? Will it make you more efficient? Will you be a faster runner? Having switched styles in the past David offers his view on why he did it, having had run-ins with shoes that forced him to change running styles, Jody explains why he hasn't. All of this as well as barefoot running, Chi Running and the seemingly oxymoronic 'barefoot shoes' are discussed in what turns out to be a dangerously informative podcast. Enjoy!

Send us Fan MailOn the advent of the Winter Nuts Challenge, Jody and David welcome back Pete Rees from Mudstacle to give some last minute tips to Jody who is taking on all four laps. It turns out Jody hasn't factored in a few important points, such as the cut-off time, and the chaps ponder whether he's actually going to make it. Pete also fills us in on his epic Marathon des Sables training, including running the Pilgrim's multi-day ultra and running part of the Monarch's Way overnight to prepare for the long day. If you're running Nuts or the MdS, you've got to listen to this episode. Remember, it could be the last one Jody appears in... Enjoy!

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast features James Appleton talking to the guys about, well, everything really. They cover Tough Guy, fell running, and photography. The guys also hear an exclusive piece of news from James, so listen out for that nearer the end. This interview is so packed with information that the intro possibly breaks the BBR record for being one of the shortest we've ever done. Listen up and get ready to think about planning your next holiday in the Lake District.

Send us Fan MailIn this interview the guys get the chance to talk to one of the coolest, toughest people on the planet. Lowri Morgan is one of only 6 people (ever) to finish the 350 mile non-stop marathon in the Arctic and not only can she survive extreme cold, she can do heat too as she finished in the top 10 on her first ever ultra in the Amazonian jungle. She has won BAFTAs, jumped out of planes, and she has met the Queen. Her incredible achievements are matched by how down-to-earth she is and this chatty, relaxed podcast is almost the opposite of the BBR way since it is both informative and useful. This is one interview you do not want to miss. Enjoy! If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else. Join the conversation!

Send us Fan MailThe main themes for this podcast are the last ever Tough Guy and advice for this stage of training for spring marathons. When we say themes, we use it in the loosest possible sense as EVERYTHING is discussed. Special Forces Hell Week is back on so that requires a brief analysis, we discover that David hates Seinfeld, and, rather generously, the guys spend about 20 minutes plugging other podcasts. When they get around to discussing marathon training, they are actually quite helpful. What is the Maffetone method? What should you be eating? How many miles should you be logging before that upcoming spring marathon? Rules are debunked and approved in this genuinely quite useful episode. Enjoy!
