S5 Eps 17 Young Hearts, Run Free - Just the Two of Us - 17 June 2022

And just like that we’ve been at this podcast caper for 2 years…..time for a brief interlude.

This week you have the veritable treat of a hour long chat between your hosts. In a poll of our listeners at least 5% of you expressed such episodes as their very fav, and we aim to please as many folk as we can.

Thankfully we’ve got more than just mangled feet pictures and the latest state of John’s under-carriage on the episode agenda!

On the eve of the return of the iconic West Highland Way Race it’s fitting that we include a wee chat on what lies ahead this weekend, including John’s own support role. The Pork Pie Keeper is the most important role in any crew ain’t it?

John quizzes Steven on his own support crew duties last weekend as he got an insight into triathlon at the Stafford 70.3 Ironman event, and we thought obsessing over shoes was peak shwanker-ism!

We chat through some magnificent racing that took place last weekend across Scotland with the Mhor Half Mara and the Strathearn Marathon topping the bill. And we give a wee reminder about September’s Auchterarder Running Festival, it is your chance to hear John live on the mic, entry fee worthy on its own. Oh, and we give plenty of airtime to one of our fav guests ever, the legend that is Alan Cormack has been off doing epic things, again.

We then turn to the serious stuff. Favourite ever drop bag items in an ultra-marathon. A two-pronged question for your hosts who enter a heated yet sentimental discussion about the topic. We are also looking for your best ever drop bag scran, get over to our socials to contribute to that hot debate!

With tons more covered including our new pride logo, current running sock favourites and of course the latest biscuit trends our 97th episode will keep you ticking over nicely on your weekend long run. Enjoy everyone and good luck to all those doing amazing stuff this coming week!
