Send us Fan MailTHEY MADE IT! [Sounds of cheers, roaring crowds, champagne corks popping] The landmark of 150 episodes has been reached. They didn't know how they would do it. They didn't know if it was possible. But for all the jokes back in 2015 when the podcast started... this is it: Episode 150. For this episode, Jody and David celebrate, reminisce and reflect on what has happened to the podcast over the years since launch... ... and get a little help from some of the Do-Badders and the podcast's previous guests who record their own messages of congratulations (or in Huw Brassington's case an advert for his next speaking event! Amazing!) It's a cracker. (But not if this is your first listen to BBR, because it's impenetrable...) Enjoy!

Send us Fan MailCourtney Dauwalter has one of the most impressive running resumes having completed and won a ton of the world's best-known (and toughest) ultramarathons, including MOAB 240 outright and fastest woman at Western States 100 last year. But it's a different race that Jody and David explore with Courtney - Big's Backyard Ultra, a brutal race from the evil mind of Barklay Marathon's Laz. It's a race, not against time or distance but until the last person is standing around a 4 mile loop for as long as you can until the last person is left standing. Seriously, this sounds awful/brilliant and Courtney is great. Enjoy! If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else. Join the conversation!

Send us Fan MailIn this week's episode Jody and David talk to Lisa Jackson, author, runner and member of The 100 Marathon Club - but most interestingly Lisa has made a name for herself around her ability to come last in a string of races.The discussion focuses on just how hard it is to actually come last in a race - especially when there seems to be just as much competition for the coveted last place spot - and what it's like when you're back of the pack. The chat also turns to elitism and celebrating slower runners and how to make running more inclusive.Enjoy!If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else.Join the conversation!
