PODCAST

Running is BS

Stewart Harding and Amy Cuthbert-Genders

The podcast that loves to hate running. While other podcasts will celebrate your journey, encourage you to go faster and further, and run free, we’d rather talk about bleeding nipples, getting chased by horses and getting horribly injured. Keep it real with Stewart and Amy.

#50 - Blisters are Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2020/10/19

Our 50th episode and there is yet more chat about tea and dog interruptions. Amy ponders alfresco testicles, we cringe over sexism in cross country AGAIN, and discuss blisters and whether there really is a worst place to get one. We speak to Peter Gillibrand, Liz Rees, and Sam Wright who each completed their own virtual London marathons, and endured wind, rain and chafing. Oh, and Amy did a marathon.

#49 - Running with Music is Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2020/10/05

Because we all know listening to podcasts is best, right? Being laughably unqualified to talk about something has never stopped us before, so this time we delve into music and what you're all listening to. Head to Spotify and search Running is Bullshit to find our amazing playlist as compiled by our listeners. We also grudgingly admit (again) how useful going to the gym actually is, Stu reveals his surprising degree, and we discuss email inbox scum. And for some reason, someone mentions a human

#48 - Track and Field is Bullshit feat. Jimmy Watkins

Running is BS ·

2020/09/20

If you're a runner with a Welsh accent, we'll pretty much have you on as a guest, but when you're a World 800m finalist and rock star, that definitely helps too! We talk to Jimmy about his unique "journey" through sport and music and how he's now combined the two. We also tell Garmin to back off, wonder what races we've entered, and want to know if you've sent Stu a ladies toepad?

#47 - Running Films are Bullshit, part 2

Running is BS ·

2020/09/06

We try to start by talking about running, but Amy's dog throws up just before we start recording so there's dog action straight from the beginning. Stu's also drinking cider, so we're bound to have a slightly fraught recording. We reveal the winner of last week's competition, and hear the tale of the Great Fall of 2020, a classic Amy Story. We also mock our listeners, give cow advice, and talk about Chariots of Fire and Personal Best, or as we know them: "the Brideshead Revisited of running"

#46 - Running the Entire Wales Coast Path is Bullshit...

Running is BS ·

2020/08/23

You may know by now that we quite like the Wales Coast Path, so we're chatting to Rhys Jenkins (again) as he's just run the whole thing quicker than anyone else! There's a big dog update too as Stu has done a canicross run once and has planned the rest of the year based on racing those. Even Amy's been out with her naughty beagle, who makes an brief adorable appearance. There's also information about our nepotism-laced giveaway, naked runners, documentary recommendations, masks and Americans

#45 - Running Accessories are Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2020/08/09

A bullshit look at all the crap you strap and attach to yourself for a run. Who ever said running was simple? No, really, who was that person? How wrong they were... Amy's proud of herself for doing some research, adds more to her inspirational phrasebook, and chats to her Mum. Stu is tired from a bit of walking, explains his pre-run faffing, and doesn't care about the London marathon.

#44 - Garmin is Bullshit feat. Ruth Keeley

Running is BS ·

2020/07/27

If it's not on Strava it doesn't count, so apologies to all of our Garmin using listeners, but you can no longer call yourself runners. We also talk about what happens when a proper company makes shit jokes like this. Hopefully by the time you read this, Garmin's back up and running, but if not then shiiiit we have bigger things to worry about. Anyway, this is the podcast that loves to hate talking about running, and so now we're basically just a dog podcast, hope that's ok with you? Our

#43 - Running Films are Bullshit, part 1

Running is BS ·

2020/07/13

SPOILERS ALERT In this episode we discuss and dissect two running films, Brittany Runs a Marathon and Run Fat Boy Run, so be aware we'll have ruined them for you. We hope you're ready for yet another shitty start to podcast with some real bullshit, but we can assure you within 20 seconds we flip it and there is brilliant news, even though it makes Stu very angry. Stu invents the word 'Hollywoodised', Amy mentions her ultra (twice) and there's talk of boobs, poo, toenails and strava wankers. Classic

#42 - Back-to-back Marathons are Bullshit feat. Ben...

Running is BS ·

2020/06/29

Three episodes in one month and ANOTHER amazing guest? You're damn right. Ben Smith took on an extraordinary challenge back in 2015, and is gearing up to do another. Find out all about how he got on, how injured he got, and how stopping took its toll. As ever, we skirt around the edges of running by talking about socks, tea, dogs and moving your injury around rather than fixing it.

#41 - T-shirts are Bullshit feat. Connor Strynkowski...

Running is BS ·

2020/06/15

IT HAPPENED We tracked him down and somehow made him agree to talk to us, and he was lovely. Phew. We also talk a fair bit about equality and Amy says 'intersectionality' a few times, well she is a doctor after all. There's a lot of actual bullshit going on in the world at the moment, and we address it where we can but we're not the experts you need and urge you to find out more about race issues, LGB issues, trans issues, and all the other groups currently under attack.

#40 - Sweating is Bullshit feat. Mark Remy

Running is BS ·

2020/06/01

Our guest is a former editor of RunnersWorld.com and the founder of Dumb Runner, Mark Remy, and we get a great insight into the other side of running journalism and why some of those bizarre articles need to exist. We also discuss running early, the ideal time to poo, massive ankles, why you hate cross training, and we have another running confession.

#39 - Cross-training is Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2020/05/18

The only thing worse than running is not running, right? In this episode we delve in the murky world of cross-training, and why pretty much all of it is bullshit. Speaking of not running, we both share non-running related injury stories and Amy continues her bid to become an inspirational speaker. Music credit to http://www.freesfx.co.uk

#38 - Touching Your Face is Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2020/05/04

While we're still allowed to run, we'll still complain about it. We read out your running confessions, and will happily keep taking them on an ongoing basis because we know you're all terrible running sinners, and we can forgive you. We explain why you won't be seeing a BS face mask, get the lowdown on the Ross Barkley 5k, and tell fat-shaming advertisers to fuck the fuck off. Features an appearance from everyone's favourite corgi.

#37 - Running in your Garden is Bullshit feat. Gareth...

Running is BS ·

2020/04/20

Providing a mild distraction from your lockdown, Running is BS delves into the bizarre world of the garden marathon, running up Everest in your house and other weird things desperate runners are doing to stay occupied and get their distance in. Has Amy been running? You may be pleasantly surprised. And Stu urges you to stop running up and down the same parks, canal paths, and streets and go and do a bit of exploring! Our guest this week is Gareth Allen, an ultra runner who live streamed his garden

#36 - Q&As are Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2020/04/06

What do you do when there's no running to talk about? Talk about yourself! Thanks to all our listeners who sent in questions for us, we had a great time going through them and offering our complete lack of expertise as answers. We manage to squeeze in a bit of bullshit running news, and have now both adopted the Genders Studio™ method which is effective but doesn't half make your head a bit hot.

#35 - Showers are Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2020/03/23

Amy massively overreacts to a single comment about her audio and has taken a drastic solution to improve the ‘studio’. We inevitably drop the C-bomb as the world of running is now dominated by the reaction to COVID-19 and its impacts, as well as post-run showers, brambles, fancy teas, and fell races that haven’t been cancelled. We also ask very important questions such as “Would you wear a manbra” and “Is it ok to just go and run a strava segment?”… See more

Running is BS ·

2020/03/09

A last minute stand in for Amy sees SBC rock the mic with Stewart for this episode full of all kinds of running bullshit. There's sweary banter galore with chafing, race cancellations, filthy puns, and making noises at gross out comments. We have bonus double guestage with London Marathon pacer Liz Ayres giving us a rundown of the changes being made to this year's race and Howard Owen's review of his, understandably, slowest ever marathon in Siberia.

#33 - High Jump is Bullshit feat. Sharon Heveran

Running is BS ·

2020/02/26

Stewart and Amy (and a yappy Corgi) take on the biggest and most important topics in running (probably) in yet another episode of the podcast that loves to hate running. We talk about being ill, boobs, race tshirts, and speak to a former international high jumper and coach who only bloody went to the Olympics, Sharon Heveran.

#32 - Nike is Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2020/02/10

The podcast that loves to hate running delves into the murky world of shoes, and the whole Nike debacle. Watch out, Stu has read, like, two articles and now has Opinions. We also talk about why you shouldn't use Eventbrite for races, how far breasts bounce, and the best way to kill time during a quarantine. This episode is dedicated to Cactus. He was a very good boi.

#31 Cross Country is Bullshit feat. Maud Hodson

Running is BS ·

2020/01/27

It's Cross Country time, so we've spoken to Maud Hodson about Run Equal, a fantastic campaign that wants men and women to run the same distance. It doesn't sound like a lot to ask does it? You'd be surprised at the bullshit they encounter... This episode's Bullshit Running News theme is like nothing you've ever heard before (by which we mean good), and that's all thanks to our awesome Patreon subscribers. Why not give us a dollar? If you want a buff, this is the place to go. You want merch? We got
