This week the boys are joined by the excellent Melissa Courtney-Bryant. Melissa joined us from Kenya in the midst of training camp, and we'd be lying if we said we weren't jealous of the weather! You can file her under 'athletes we could talk to all day' and we miss so much, but that's just credit to her career so far!

We are back for season 3! This week the boys catch up about what they done over the Christmas period, and then welcome Emyr Bissmire on for a chat about his 365 day run streak of 2025! It's nice to be back!

Emyr Bissmire | No Days Off

Wrapping up season 3 with a mixed bag of bull-shit!

CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

Finally, the boys pinned him down! This week, we finally sat down with Jon Butler for a chat, and it's only taken 2 years! Join us as we talk through Jon's transition into running after a succesful amateur football career. Nobody knows the back of Dewi Griffiths head better than this guy!

JON BUTLER | THERE'S NO ENJOYMENT ON THE WAY AROUND

This week the tables are turned as the boys welcome previous guest and friend Ryan George on to the pod, to host. This episode flies around the place and outs the boys on the other side of the mic, not knowing what questions are coming! It was a pleasure to get Georgey back out of his comfort zone, reflect on the last two years, and fire some shots all at the same time!

NIKI & GARETH | THE INTERVIEW

This week we are joined by Verity Ockenden as we discuss her journey through running. Not often do these stories start with chasing sheep through a field, but when they do, you know you're in for a good story!

VERITY OCKENDEN | IT ALL MAKES FOR A GOOD STORY

This week the boys catch up with Jon Hayward! Jon started off with C25K a while back now and has gone from strength to strength across all terrains, this year dropping PBs for fun! It's been quite the journey for Jon, and we hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did!

JON HAYWARD | YOU KIND OF JUST LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES

This week the boys grab a chat with Lucy Reid. Lucy made her marathon debut at the end of 2024, clocking home in 2:26:35 - the third fastest debut by a British female, and this was on the back of a 1:09 half a few months before. Jeez. 2025 hasn't been as kind, and Lucy has been sideline by knee surgery - but she's on the way back! We can't wait to see what 2026 looks like.

I WANT TO COME BACK BETTER THAN EVER

This week the boys look back at the Richard Burton 10K from last weekend, a sensational race to close out the Welsh road racing season. With Niki racing pissed off after his DNF in Eryri, and Gareth picking times out of thin air and trying to hit them, they both had a blast!
