Bad Boy Running

Send us Fan MailIn one of our most popular episodes, we spoke with former GB athlete Colin McCourt onto the podcast to talk about his 16 min 5k challenge which could have resulted in £1700 if he won or 17 tattoos of his mates' names adorned across his body if he lost. Well, he's back and his challenge has concluded... and he did it! (Oh wait... maybe we should have added a SPOILERS warning there...) In this episode Colin picks up where we left on his journey and reveals: The point where he got REALLY worried he wasn't going to make it What his mates thought when he finally succeeded What's happened to him in his past year during the challenge and how life has changed Why he never got the £40 Dominos deal he wanted at the end of the 5k His best kit he received and used during the last 12 months What he would have done DIFFERENTLY if he was doing it all again ... and what his next challenge might be The Silk Cut is at 34 minutes if you want to jump straight to the interview and not listen to some talk about running and the #DestroyTomDark Sub4 marathon challenge. Although there is a really interesting discussion about whether one Do-Badder would be ideal for doing the 10,000 Calorie Challenge. Join the conversation!

Send us Fan MailBack by popular demand, 100-mile record holder and race beer aficionado Camille Herron returns to talk about the records she's smashed since she was last on the show as well as reveal her secret to her Comrades Marathon success. Here's what you'll hear on this episode: Camille reveals how she approached her latest three record-breaking races Why Comrades was such an important race for Camille (and the book she read at 13 that inspired her love of running) How Camille explains how she trains for hills... when you don't have any hills How Camille almost didn't finish Comrades even though she was metres from the end (mistaken for celebrating too early!) Advice from Camille on why you don't need books to improve your running (you just need to follow this one simple rule) Camille reveals the exact amount of nutrition you need for an ultra that made the biggest difference to her running Why she never does back-to-back long runs, despite doing weekend mileage of 40-50 miles (here's how) Why Camille trains 90% on the road to improve her trail running The Total Do-Badder method of race recovery that Camille adheres to As you'd expect, it's another great interview from Camille with plenty to learn and be inspired from. That's doesn't apply to the intro and analysis from Jody and David which runs the gamut from catching up on running (or lack of) and   If you want to skip straight to the Camille interview, The Silk Cut on this episode is around 42 minutes.

Send us Fan MailIt's one of the episodes you've been waiting for... Jody and David speak with Sean Conway, adventurer extraordinaire and multiple record holder. But that's not before the chaps go off on a complete tangent about news and current affairs (seriously, not seriously), wannabe explorers wearing pants up Snowden and midlife crises.  In this episode, here's what you'll discover: Why Sean sold his business for £1... and then what he did with that £1 How to cycle across the world on a budget... ... and survive being knocked over with a car (and then going on to CONTINUE the run) Why Sean WANTS you to become an investment banker and forget about  David comes up with an idea to discourage people running bad marathons David then comes up with the strangest idea for a new race, involving the star of Con Air David reveals his race nightmare at the Edinburgh Ultra (and finally settles the question of which is better... PS It's not Edinburgh Marathon) Watch out for the second part of the interview where Sean reveals more about his adventures. For those who want to get straight to the interview with Sean, The Silk Cut is at XX minutes Join the conversation!

Send us Fan MailOk, this week's episode is a bit special. And not in that way. Bad Boy Running has bumped this right up the schedule because we had Camille booked in to speak to Jody and David simply for her badass drinking antics (and the fact she's sponsored by a brewery). But as if by a huge amount of luck, Camille ( @runcamille ) only went and broke the 100 mile record at the Tunnel Hill 100 #TunnelHill100... on her FIRST attempt at a 100 miler. CRAZY! It's a slightly shorter interview with Camille on this episode but the guys manage to pack in: How Camille manages to sneak in a beer or two on the race and how she discovered it as a race strategy (she even has a medical explanation which leaves the lads confused) Exactly what Camille eats when she's running her 100 milers (or any race) Why her weekly mileage will make your eyes water (no, seriously. SERIOUSLY this is ridiculous) Why she decided to make the transition from road ultras to trail And what she's planning next Seriously, this is a great one. Join the conversation!

Send us Fan MailDavid has been to film (but not partake in) the OCR World Championships. They offer their opinions and it would appear that David's elitism has begun to deteriorate. Jody talks about why it's hard to compare Ultra Running with OCR and has an idea to discuss at the end about a possible BBR spin off. Join the conversation!

Send us Fan MailWe've got an epic two-parter with OCR World Champ and Skyrunner, Jonathan Albon. Before the guys speak to Jon, David recalls his experience of this year's Marathon du Medoc, reveals a challenge by Monkey Tennis podcast, talks "easter eggs" and reveals why he has a beer named after him. Then the guys speak with Jon Albon (interview starts on 42 minutes, if you want to skip ahead like Fi Silk...) In this episode, Jon reveals: How he got started running and his crazy-good first ever race (you won't believe his first ever race time) How he progressed in the sport and became involved in OCR and then Skyrunning His 30 second sleep trick at that infamous Winter Nuts How he preps for races and how he trains away from running ... and his exact stats (so you can compare and contrast... and weep) Listen to this episodes and you'll get a glimpse into the mind of a serious competitor and champion (... so it's a pretty big contrast from Jody and David's ramblings) Oh, and make sure you listen to Part 2.
