The Runs Podcast

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!

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!

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!

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.

This week Niki debriefs what happened in Marathon Eryri before we are joined by Lauren Stockley who takes us from swimming at a young age through to competing across the board in distance running, triathlon and hyrox.Lauren, you are a weapon.

This week join the boys as they look ahead to Marathon Eryri, unpack the last week of running - including Gareth's 5K time trial and discuss zone running and if it's shit or not that shit.

his week the boys are joined by the first Brit from this years' Great North Run, Ben Connor.We discuss Ben's journey into running - however somehow we did miss out his Olympics shift! Gareth's fault.But expect plenty of the usual nonsense, find out why Gareth hates former Chelsea player Andy Myers, and plenty more!

The boys are back, again! And this time they are joined by Olympian Alex Bell!What a breath of fresh air Alex is, and what a story. From not considering running as a career, through to blowing trials and finally getting to that Olympic finals start line and now into her evolution into a road runner with her sights firmly set on the marathon distance. It's a ride, that's for sure!The boys also break down last weekends' Cardiff Half, and consider whether Cardiff is a big enough City to host a Super-Half race!Yeah boy, we are back!
