Running is BS Podcast artwork

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.

#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.

#140 - Wild Wees are Bullshit

Sep 15 2024 54 mins

Amy has another fairly normal running story that she manages to make into a whole drama, which explains the tree on the episode cover. We get into some weird club names, weird places to run and race, and just plain fucking weird reasons anyone would pay someone else to run their Strava activities for them.

#139 - PBs are Bullshit

Sep 03 2024 56 mins

The road to selling out is almost complete as Stu officially becomes one of the fast bois, and Amy talks up how much fun she had doing hill reps and nailing her progression run. It's the twist no one saw coming... We get back to our core principles of insulting vast swathes of our listeners, laughing at your injuries and questioning all of your life choices.

#138 - Night Marathons are Bullshit

Aug 18 2024 71 mins

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,
