Cheater cheater, pumpkin eater

Casual Runners Appreciation Podcast ·

2025/10/30

We were supposed to have a guest on this week's episode, but unfortunately some technical difficulties stopped us from being able to record at the last minute. So, at the 11th hour, we recorded a very last minute episode diving into one of Hayden's longest running rabbit holes: the world of Marathon Investigations. We chat about about the people getting caught out cheating during running events of all shapes and sizes, and whether we think some of the behaviour is really cheating at all...

Casual Runners Appreciation Podcast ·

2025/10/09

We hope you've got a long run planned, because this episode goes for 2 hours and you are going to want to listen to it all. Hayden is away from the mic, busy trying to Felix to understand what bedtime is, so Shannon has brought in the least casual co-host she could find - her husband. In case you've missed it, Mackenzie (Macka) Burgoyne recently finished the Bibbulmun Track in a new record time of 8 days, 22 hours, and 44 minutes. He set the record just two days after Aaron Young broke ...

Hayden is a dirty, rotten liar

Casual Runners Appreciation Podcast ·

2025/09/04

This week, we're joined by the surprise guest Zane promised us, and in the biggest surprise of all, it's actually Hayden. The sneaky weasel did Sydney Marathon last weekend, something which he kept quiet from all bar two people since he signed up last year. Shannon did not handle being kept in the dark well, so we're sorry to say your running podcast besties are beefing and this may be the last episode of CRAP.
