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.

#124 - Running Targets Are Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2024/01/08

We've got mixed reports of races from the end of last year and mixed luck with getting into some big name races this year! Amy got confused by an aid station, Stewart gets annoyed at Strava, and you all have set some really stupid running targets and we can't wait to hear how they go wrong.

#123 - 2023 Was Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2023/12/11

What a bullshit year. At least for most of you, we actually had quite a nice time. We're cancelling race organisers, tricking you into buying tea, cursing cyclists yet again, and talking about all the horribly actually sad reasons why you can't run. What's the weirdest thing you've got from a race goody bag?

#122 - 24-Hour Races are Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2023/11/22

Stewart escaped Meriden! We can finally hear all about this race that has been over a year in the making. Good news, it was miserable. Amy's been taking advantage of her car-based freedom by going to one single new place over and over again, and still can't pronounce names.

#121 - Walking is Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2023/11/06

Just one more episode until Meriden so we're getting into the best bits of any race, the map, the plan and the admin! We've also got some great ultra food ideas from our listeners which are uncharacteristically helpful. Amy also has the least scariest running story you'll ever hear, just in time to have missed Halloween.

#120 - Throwing Up All Over Yourself is Bullshit with...

Running is BS ·

2023/10/23

We're on a roll with guests and this is a really good one! Louise Butcher had a double mastectomy but instead of shying away from her scars, she's running topless every day not just to raise awareness, but because it feels bloody brilliant! We also talk about running smells because we're 120 episodes in and have run out of things to complain about.

#119 - Five Years of This is Bullshit with Ben and...

Running is BS ·

2023/10/09

Seriously? FIVE years? Of this? Weird. We go back to our roots for this episode by interviewing a couple of people that we know, but one of them did the Dragon's Back Race, so that's pretty cool. There's also some nostalgia for how shit we were at the beginning, stories about actual shit, shit singing, and someone at a race who was a shit (allegedly).

#118 - Headtorches are Bullshit with Nathan Landry

Running is BS ·

2023/09/25

We've saw some guy on instagram and we liked his posts so we thought we'd get him on the pod! Go check out @running.is.dumb Meanwhile we get into corporate fanboying, the uncanny valley of Stu's singing ability, unconventional cross training, inadvertent inspiration, epic levels of cheating, and swearing profusely at theoretical passers-by.

#117 - Golf Balls are Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2023/09/11

Well, there's no race report as expected so it's over to you for some of your gripes, moans and outright petty bitchiness about other people's running. Amy tells us all about what she's learnt from running nearly 5 ultras and Stu has once again gone to too much effort to record another song.

01:10:48

#116 - Normal People are Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2023/08/29

Finally it's Stu's turn to be suffering from a stupid long race, although Amy is feeling the long term effects too. We also talk more places that feel wrong to run in, watch PBs, why American race organisers hate you, dingoes, and a surprisingly sensible discussion about running with large breasts.

01:07:22

#115 - Bowels are Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2023/08/14

Did Amy finish her mega-ultra? Spoiler alert: no. The title gives it away. We ask the vital questions: Have you got a niche stat which makes you look good? Are there places you're not really supposed to run? Is your self-motivation super creepy? Can you spot a red flag? And most importantly, where do you keep your orange squash?

en

#114 - Cramp is Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2023/07/31

We prepare for our upcoming ultras by getting lost before the recce even began, and running track races. Can you guess who did which? A strange animal warning, sports days, more dehydration, getting injured by a plant, and a dinosaur.

#113 - Horoscopes are Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2023/07/17

May the trail gods bless your run and may you find happiness in a petrol station. This episode is a bit shorter so you're going to have to run quicker!

#112 - Bracken is Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2023/07/02

ANOTHER ultra. ANOTHER local race. MORE dog chat. The worst run Amy has EVER had. Getting lost, meetings, gravel, crying, very worrying PBs and the best motivation to run a PB ever.

#111 - Podcasting is Bullshit with Martinus Evans

Running is BS ·

2023/06/19

Martinus Evans joins us to talk all about the Slow AF Run Club, which we feel lots of you would like to join! There's also tales of heat, hills, holiday, horses, Norfolk town names, potential penises, and the Natwest Fraud Team. Martinus' book is out now in places that sell books so go get it and let him know who sent you!

#110 - Back Injuries are Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2023/05/29

Amy goes off-script, but staying on-script isn't exactly straightforward either. Stu wangs on about moving house, and while we haven't won anything we've been near people who have. Who wants a free race place? Email us and if you amuse us we might give you actual money to enter a race. We also reaffirm our support for trans runners, and all our LGBT+ friends going about their lives hoping the Daily fucking Mail doesn't turn up and start harassing you.

#109 - Pre-race Music is Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2023/05/15

What do you want before a race to really get you in the mood? A banging tune, an anthem... opera? We talk about some very dodgy options as well as race reports which perfectly personify our individual styles. A chill ultra for Amy and two super intense 1 mile races for Stu. Also some of the stupidest and worst bullshit running news we've had for a while.

#108 - Nipples are Still Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2023/04/24

What a load of bollocks! A strong start for this episode as we finally break the taboo on talking balls. Should your dog's instagram be first person? Is Garmin trying to cancel us? Should Stu blow his money on a coach? All of these questions and more left vague and unanswered as you might expect. Please look after your nipples though lads.

#107 - Head Squirrels are Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2023/04/10

We've both done a race, and they couldn't have been much more different! If you like it hard or you like it slow, you're in the right place. We also deliver a lot of good advice to race organisers using our vast knowledge of how to put on a race, as well as chat on medals, squirrels both in the head and in the hand, Michael Flatley and how to steal a toilet.

#106 - Elevation is Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2023/03/27

There was a horse incident, but we lived to tell the tale. Stu almost didn't live to tell the tale of his race, and Amy nearly got stuck in the Brecon Beacons. Just normal running stuff, right? We're knackered but still manage to wang on for over an hour about running being stupid and hard and stupid.

en

01:21:30

#105 - Race Websites are Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2023/03/13

Amy is appalled that her long run included so much running and Stewart got chased by bloodhounds. Standard weekend. We get into what elements make the very best and very worst race websites. We've all seen them, used them, and for some reason entrusted our bank details to them.
