Episode 71: Pasta is believed to have magical properties

Thoughts on a Run ·

2025/06/19

“My body can do it, but I don’t want to.” Lucky for you, you do want to listen to this daft podcast. Missy elevates the chat, lifts the spirits, and raises morale with some hefty yabber about lifts. Crumpet the clown (Hannah) brings up the rear with some tasty pasta chat. Both lifts and Pasta can move people, and this episode moves Hannah to tears (of laughter). Feat. An Archimedes side quest, far too much silly laughter, and, most importantly, if you were a type of pasta, what pasta would you be

Episode 70: By jinkies did we do our best on the day!

2025/06/12

They did it! The Mooneys got hoony and absolutely smashed it at the Kirikiriroa Marathon.What! Can you believe it?! As Hannah articulates so eloquently, “I reckon we looked a sight”, these munters got the mahi done and now you get the treats. Hannah’s thought is short and sweet as she flies through the origin story of Jet planes - the lolly kind, not the aerospace engineering kind. Missy rocks an ultra-thought as she loops, laps, and loves the challenge of the backyard ultra; one 6.7km loop on the

Episode 69: You can only do your best on the day

2025/06/05

These Mooneys are about to get marthony with it. On the precipice of the biggest run of their lives, Hannah and Missy kick things off with some irrelevant clown chat (but like, what WOULD your clown name be??). In a monster episode this week, Missy dives into the mysterious myth of the lurkings in Loch Ness and unlocks some of the lore around the Loch Ness Monster. Hannah unpacks the savoury custard sensation that is our pre-race tradition of hooning a quiche, and just like a fancy fishy quiche,

Episode 68: “I’m gonna make you a friendship toe ring”

Thoughts on a Run ·

2025/05/29

This week is a truly jingly, jangly, bangley and revolutionary episode. Hannah realises that the Moon is not a planet (spoiler alert, it’s a moon). While the gravitational force on the Moon is less than Earth’s, Hannah’s Moon(ey) facts have some weight to them! In addition to getting a bit pitchy with her musical interlude, Missy weaves in some chat about friendship bracelets. As per, there are many pointless side quests, e.g. if the Sun and the Moon wore hats, what kind of hats would they be?

Episode 67: We can do HARDER things

Thoughts on a Run ·

2025/05/22

Fresh from the Huntly Half Marathon 2025, Hannah and Missy are absolutely cooked, munted, zonked, and bonked. What was hoped to be a redemption tour was instead their hardest run to date. Luckily, your fave hoonys can do even harder hard things! Tune in for the post-race debrief, Missy’s thoughts about the great Kiwi pie (remember, always blow on it), and Hannah’s running gel yap. Shout out to Roam, who’s energy nut butters straight up slay, For fructose's sake, get amongst it!

Episode 66: “I wanna talk about the avocado real quick”

Thoughts on a Run ·

2025/05/15

This week, Hannah had a bit of a toilet episode, and Missy has the revelation that “I need to actually listen.” The chat may be dry, but Hannah’s history of lip balm may just be our SALVation. You don’t want cracked lips, but we promise this podcast is crack-up. Missy puts the miss in mystery as she pays homage to the crime queen herself, Agatha Christie, and although she can’t say phenomenally, Missy lays out more facts than a detective novel and just as many twists, turns, and misdirections.

Episode 65: We have become sidetracked

Thoughts on a Run ·

2025/05/08

The pipes are cool, and so are we (not Hannah, though). Running in the chucking rain is the absolute pits, but this episode slaps. For the record, Missy said the wrong thing, and Hannah circles back (when is she not). Nothing is puzzling about Missy’s crossword chat, and Hannah's carbon fibre-plated super shoe jibber-jabber is teeter-totter, tip-top..Clue: Ideas no one asked for during cardio (8,2,1,3)Solution: Thoughts on a run

Episode 64: “Always pull the finger”

Thoughts on a Run ·

2025/05/02

This week's episode is cracking, creaking, snapping, clicking, cackling, and popping off. We begin with a couple of long-winded stories about the various shenanigans Missy puts Hannah through. Hannah then changes gear and pedals through everyone's favourite mode of transport, the tandem bike. Let’s chuck these yappy lasses on a twin bike already! Missy gets crunchy as she once and for all addresses the popular conception that cracking your knuckles gives you arthritis (spoiler alert, it doesn’t)

Episode 63: Eating peas with your feet

Thoughts on a Run ·

2025/04/24

“I didn’t look it up because I didn’t want to”. Yep, that just about sums up this podcast. Just like an ultra-marathon trail run, this episode is full of ascents and descents. Missy gets into the wilderness of the gruelling Barkley Marathons (biggest shout out to Jasmine Paris, absolute GOAT who proved that women ARE strong enough!). Hannah wraps up the record with some record chat (of the Guinness world variety) as she, with some help from best mate Dave, lays out the process of setting a world

Episode 62: Did you know Barbie used to be a mime?

Thoughts on a Run ·

2025/04/17

Despite initial scepticism and resistance ( 👀Missy), this episode shapes up to be a banger (which is consistent with the brand). Hannah doesn’t read a list but delves into the three conventions of mine (all of which I have sneakily hidden in this ep description). Missy adds some colour to the chat and rattles off some facts about everyone’s favourite anatomically incorrect yet ultimately inspiring Barbra. That’s right this is the Barbie episode!

Episode 61: Just in a constant state of hoo-ha

Thoughts on a Run ·

2025/04/10

Lock in because we’re running in the rain! Hannah’s blister situation is a bit manky, but this week’s thoughts are swanky. Missy brings the living, the laughing, and the loving as she gives some chuckling good context to everyone’s favourite universal language: laughter. Basically, it’s a sound out of your face. Hannah Mooney, or should we say humour memey rolls out a meme-ingful discussion of the history and function of memes. She then plays to her strengths by listing some classic memes and yes,

Episode 60: A bit of a grammar twist

Thoughts on a Run ·

2025/04/03

Bonk, donk, conk, clonk, thonk and buckle up for your fave April fools. Hannah says “anywho” 3 times (which is 3 too many times) because “that’s how sweaty it be-getti.” Missy may be a bit loosey-goosey with a hyphen - but is there anything more powerful than an Oxford comma? Don’t worry, Hannah tells you all about it. Then, a hard right turn culminating in “right, now we’re pointing at your elbow on a podcast” as Missy gets on your nerves, specifically your ulna nerve as she labours the point of

Episode 59: “Gotcha conk”

Thoughts on a Run ·

2025/03/27

Although Missy can’t hook Hannah up to a polygraph machine, this episode will hook you up with some info about the misleadingly named lie detector test. Spoiler alert: a polygraph measures your arousal - but not in bom chicka wah wah kind of way, just in a heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate kind of way. Don’t crocodilly-dally and get amongst it! Hannah drops some snapping good facts about your fave fierce friends (or fiends???) with long muscular tails. That’s right, crocs vs gators. How

Episode 58: Hannah Hooney Hero of the Half!

Thoughts on a Run ·

2025/03/20

Fresh from flying through the Hamilton Half-Marathon 2025, these Mooneys be hooneys. They’re also absolutely cooked! What a run. Beautiful day, beautiful vibes, and now, a beautiful episode of Thoughts on a Run. Hannah and Missy unpack their race with what is arguably too much detail (you’ve been warned). They do manage to squeeze in some thoughts with Hannah slinging some hard hitting running themed would-you-rathers. Missy gets ding dong down with the origins of the PB bell. Fun fact: Missy quite

Episode 57: Mystery Fish

Thoughts on a Run ·

2025/03/13

Structure relocation served with a side of fish and chips. This episode is a “bit of a motley mix but in a positive way.” Missy takes the phrase ‘moving house’ literally as she considers why New Zealanders are so obsessed with uprooting, transporting, and redepositing houses on trucks. Hannah offers some food for thought (or thoughts of food) serving up the history of fish and chips. It all comes back to Charles Dickens - featuring a vocal cameo from Gandalf the Grey.

Episode 56: Sidetrack Pod

Thoughts on a Run ·

2025/03/06

You may not have time to smile but you do have time to listen to episode 56 of Thoughts on a Run. Fresh from their fun-day Sunday long run, Hannah flags the ins and outs of the game every millennial played but never really understood: Minesweeper. Missy coincidentally stays on the digital theme and considers the increasingly global paralanguage of emojis. So sweaty and so silly, we’ll seal you soon. There’s even talk of everyone’s favourite font (wingdings). Look, just get amongst it.

Episode 55: It’s just a foot sack at the end of the day

Thoughts on a Run ·

2025/02/27

Methinks this episode is 100% groovy cool beans and a good shout. Missy reaches the apex yawn point and has a gaping good gasbag about the study of yawning. Hannah is a good little house elf, as she (allegedly) gives 100% of her intention and attention to the backstory of the sock. There’s rhyming, alliteration, singing, contagious yawning, and a lot of foot chat which is, at this point, unsurprising.

Episode 54: Thicc Phat Chonky Chalk

Thoughts on a Run ·

2025/02/20

Will an apple a day keep this podcast at bay? Absolutely not. Is the knowingness of your knowledge more knowing? That sentence does not make sense, but we promise this week's episode does. While our abs are not yet shredded, Hannah’s chalk chat is more interesting than Missy thought it would be. Missy goes bananas about apples and we both learnt things this episode - but do we know them? Well, it all comes back to chalk, guys.

Episode 53: Happy Birthday, Son

Thoughts on a Run ·

2025/02/13

After a whole year of yapping, Thoughts on a Run is one! Hannah and Missy mark this milestone with a special announcement (don’t get your hopes too high, it’s not that cool). Missy slays on theme and gives some insight into the surprising origins of the ‘Happy Birthday to you” song. Hannah pops a 180 and for some reason chooses this episode to talk about skateboarding. Warning: this episode includes both the kit and caboodle AND the whole shebang.

Episode 52: Cool Banans

Thoughts on a Run ·

2025/02/06

“Come in confident and believe in yourself out the gate.” Hannah does just that and cracks straight into it with some sleep-talking chat (although, promise we’re both awake). Missy goes wide with Wikipedia waffle. In the 20+ years that Wikipedia has existed it’s become increasingly more reliable and accurate. Can the same be said of Thoughts on a Run? Probs not. Bonus features of this episode include the fact that Missy is now on Strava and Hannah makes a donation live on air!
