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.

2025/10/13

Amy had a close encounter of the rural kind, while Stu had a shit race and then a nice race.There is talk of rare pheasants, mysteriously intentioned portaloos, race mayonnaise, the Lincoln Showground (IYKYK), a TV show we've never heard of, and Amy loses her mind because someone jumped.

Running is BS ·

2025/09/29

#162 - Barbwire is Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2025/09/15

Amy moved house, so the delayed episode was all her fault. She uses it as an excuse to not run, which is actually pretty reasonable compared to some of the others we've heard...Stu is very much back at it, racing silly races, getting wet and miserable and competing with children at parkrun. Our listeners chime in with stories of epic failure, being heckled (maybe), making other runners cry and one of them gets just the tip.

2025/08/11

Roll up, roll up and slag off geographical features right here! Got a hill that's a bit too steep? A trail that's a bit too fiddly? A forest that looked at you a bit funny? We want to hear about them.We get some top listener advice on making women feel safe when running, Stu didn't have enough blood to run, and Amy isn't completely appalled at the idea of running the world's deepest marathon.

#160 - Vampire Flies are Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2025/07/28

Men being creepy is obviously bad, but it really does make good entertainment as Amy gets all riled up. She also encounters a closed trail, runs down it, and realises it was closed for a reason. Stu claims vengeance, ponders racelessness, swears at a hill, but wants to go to an even bigger hill in Colorado.

#158 - Buying a House is Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2025/06/30

Some big questions in this episode: How do you let pedestrians know you want to get past? Can men be mega-babes? And, is trail running gay?We answer some of these and more, as well as details of Stewart having the shits and Amy's fond memories of norovirus, our listeners cry, get stung, and listen to this podcast in the wrong order. We also talk about some actual running news, but focus on the nonsense in the comments.

Running is BS ·

2025/05/05

Running is BS ·

#148 - Being Farted On is Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2025/02/10

We're sorry about the title of the episode, and yes the story is pretty bad, even by our standards.Amy is being gaslit by social media, but in a very specific way, and Stu accidentally invents a new form of age grading at races.

#147 - Shakeout Runs are Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2025/01/27

Why is everyone doing shakeout runs all of a sudden, and what happened to recovery runs? We don't answer these questions and more in this episode.We talk about our own fairly reasonable plans for 2025 and many of your stupid plans for 2025, and look forward when we hear the tale of how they inevitably go wrong.

#143 - Menopause is Bullshit with Jane Pangbourne

Running is BS ·

2024/11/04

We can't believe we haven't talked about menopause before, so we're putting that right with the fantastic Jane Pangbourne who is all about the no bullshit approach. There's also tales of a very sad race recce followed by the race itself, which was actually a lot of fun, some Australian things, "Ladies", and a very severe Code Brown, which led to Amy shaming herself (but not like that)...

#141 - Progression Runs are Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2024/09/30

So apparently Amy isn't the only one keeping track of her wild toilet stops while Stewart is still really into run club names combined with the inherent silliness of English place names.We also write a smash hit 90s teen film, break some amazing gossip from 2015, and just laugh at the idea of editing wikipedia to make yourself look good.

#140 - Wild Wees are Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2024/09/16

Amy has another fairly normal running story that she manages to make into a whole drama, which explains the tree on the episode cover.

Running is BS ·

#138 - Night Marathons are Bullshit

Running is BS ·

2024/08/19

GB Olympian Stewart Harding shares his story of running at the Olympics and completing the Olympic marathon unlike the so-called 'greatest marathon runner ever'. Amy heads back to the middle boring bit of England, which has apparently got a lot nicer recently even if she inadvertently chased away all the local wildlife. There is also a long story about trying not to poo. Finally, and we can't emphasise this enough, do not enrage the sparrowhawk.
