Bad Boy Running
Jody Raynsford & David Hellard
The amazing world of running you didn't know existed, from a marathon club in San Quentin State Penitentiary to racing 350 miles, unaided with only 8% vision, to setting up a girl's running club in Afghanistan, reprobates David Hellard & Jody Raynsford bring you the world's most interesting running stories, its most incredible runners, presented by some of its worst. A funny, light-hearted look at running that's not afraid to laugh at itself and at you.

Ep 40 - Marathon des Sables: 10 things they don't tell you about the MdS
Send us Fan MailIn this episode the Bad Boy Runners stray into a new realm of Podcasting by giving actual genuine advice for anyone thinking about doing the Marathon des Sables, and the usual off-topic asides for anyone who isn’t thinking about running it. David begins by pitching other podcasts to Jody A new member of the team is introduced There’s more quality MILF banter to be had (amongst other things) We learn why Jody’s hip has ruined his reputation in the eyes of his family David talks us through why Caesar and Primavera Salads are going to be his go-to fuel Jody tries to pry David’s race number out of him so we can overwhelm him with anonymous abuse They discuss some delightful toenail stories (don’t listen whilst eating) David pitches a new method for recovery for professional athletes (although don’t expect to see this at the next olympics) Jody tells David exactly why his tent mates will finish the week hating him. If you want to know what WWAPD stands for then you’ll want to listen to the end Once you’re done listening, be sure to join the conversation on the Bad Boy Running Facebook Group where hopefully you can help David find Pato Banton’s contact details or nominate somebody for Bad Boy of the Month.

Ep 37 - David runs an ultra (Part 2)
Send us Fan MailThe episode continues with more chat and feedback from Bad Boy Running listeners... ... plus there's some actual running talk (buried at around the 37-minute mark, we believe). Here's the order of service: The chaps talk new kinds of races… and it takes an odd turn Jody and David try to work out the heaviest person in the world They guys decide a new Bad Boy challenge that involves putting ON weight The boys compare images of the fattest people in Britain and then present a new challenge to BBR listeners … and then some bad maths Another call out for sponsors (and this is a real half-hearted attempt) The attention turns to the Color Obstacle Rush UK A discussion of the anger about BBR’s lack of awards nominations Why Tyson Fury would LOVE Edinburgh Marathon Some seriously good Bad Boy performances are revealed… and why David and Jody’s advice WORKS Jody reveals that David has a stalker David argues he doesn’t have serious job titles… and reveals how he manages to spend his time David inadvertently reveals the nickname of his ex-girlfriend… and gets all cryptic (answers on a postcard please) as he goes off on a story about he met her One listener’s attempts at matchmaking with David… and David reveals he’s off the market (allegedly) David reveals his worries about jinxing the relationship by mentioning her in the podcast… oh. The guys reveal what they do on Valentine’s Day… (not with each other, of course) Officially the WORST segue EVER Letters from international Bad Boy Running listeners A call out to US runners as JodLove the podcast and these videos?
