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.

#150 - Just Running Downhill is Bullshit

Mar 09 2025 53 mins

Our 150th episode spectacular doesn't feature AMAZING guests, WILD stories, or HUGE competitions, it's just the same old nonsense. Stu has been questioning his sanity, nearly drowning in mud, learnt how to do CPR, and actually went to the gym while Amy went for a run. There's also another thrilling religious running update.

#149 - Mashed Potato in a Bag is Bullshit with Bethan Taylor-Swaine

Feb 27 2025 74 mins

We're joined by the Feminist Sociologist of Sport Bethan Taylor-Swaine who is right up our street doing research into all the awful things about running we love talking about. Meanwhile, we discuss an alternative fuelling method, running with the Mafia, Stewart's ego, and Amy talks for a long time about shoe colours insisting she doesn't care about them.

#148 - Being Farted On is Bullshit

Feb 09 2025 44 mins

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

Jan 26 2025 67 mins

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.

#146 - 2024 was Bullshit

Dec 17 2024 66 mins

The world's premier "nearly shitting yourself while running" podcast returns for the last time this year, and we're here to tell you 2024 was bullshit. We've got lots of your bullshit, lots of our own bullshit, and our favourite bullshit news of the year. Stewart sings.

#145 - Stealing Signs is Bullshit

Dec 01 2024 61 mins

This weekend Stu succeeded putting on a race and Amy failed to finish it. There's also toe nail cringe, polesplaining, Amy getting chased by a dog, more slagging off of influencers, and breaking topological news from Norfolk. 📸 @dazsphotography1

#144 - Screaming Men are Bullshit

Nov 17 2024 59 mins

Amy has a tale to tell. It's not about running, but when has that ever stopped her? We celebrate the return of the Man, the Myth, the Legend at the New York Marathon, complain even more about influencers, do some racing and have a generally lovely times out on the trails, even if some of the trails aren't really trails.

#143 - Menopause is Bullshit with Jane Pangbourne

Nov 03 2024 86 mins

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 th

#142 - Strava AI is Bullshit

Oct 20 2024 58 mins

Various illnesses might have delayed this one but don't worry, we give you all the fun details. We switch funny run club names for funny Australian names, wonder if everyone in South Korea wear moon boots, run up and down hills a bit, and really get into Strava's latest and most bizarre feature update yet.

#141 - Progression Runs are Bullshit

Sep 29 2024 44 mins

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.
