Send us a text Just like last week, Jody and David were worried. New listeners have flocked to the podcast in their tens, but how would they keep up with the obtuse in-jokes without alienating the new audience? Well, as one smart Do-Badder suggested, they decided to record an A-Z of Bad Boy Running jokes covering all the references and in-jokes that have been made throughout the previous episodes so that it all makes sense! This was advertised as a two-parter but, due to the sheer quantity, will...

Send us a text Jody and David were worried. With all the new listeners, how were they going to continue making obtuse in-jokes and not alienate the audience? Well, as one smart Do-Badder suggested: why not record an A-Z of Bad Boy Running covering all the references and in-jokes we made in all the previous episodes so it ALL MAKES SENSE. (Of course, you could listen to all the previous episodes but this is a much more effective way of aggressively cornering your way to Do-Badder expertise...) Th...

Send us a text It's finally here! After a year of building up to Nuts Challenge, Jody finally gets the chance to run the course. Spoiler: it didn't go quite to plan. David and special guest Pete Rees from Mudstacle go back over the race with Jody to discover what went well, what went badly and what makes Nuts such a special race (hint: it's not the abuse). Jody reveals all his mistakes in the build-up (including an abortive attempt at CrossFit) and his cut-off woes. If you've not watched the vid...

Send us a text Today the guys talk to Colin McCourt, a former pro-athlete who is documenting his transformation back into shape. His friends have all bet him £100 that he can't do a sub-16 minute 5k by the end of this year. If he wins, that's a nice windfall, if he loses, he has to get seventeen first and second names tattooed on his body. David and Jody start off with the basic questions about how's training going, whether it's realistic, before, in classic Do-Badder style, they veer off course...

Send us a text Have you ever considered changing styles? Will it make you more efficient? Will you be a faster runner? Having switched styles in the past David offers his view on why he did it, having had run-ins with shoes that forced him to change running styles, Jody explains why he hasn't. All of this as well as barefoot running, Chi Running and the seemingly oxymoronic 'barefoot shoes' are discussed in what turns out to be a dangerously informative podcast. Enjoy! If you enjoyed this episod...

Send us a text On the advent of the Winter Nuts Challenge, Jody and David welcome back Pete Rees from Mudstacle to give some last minute tips to Jody who is taking on all four laps. It turns out Jody hasn't factored in a few important points, such as the cut-off time, and the chaps ponder whether he's actually going to make it. Pete also fills us in on his epic Marathon des Sables training, including running the Pilgrim's multi-day ultra and running part of the Monarch's Way overnight to prepare...

Send us a text This Podcast features James Appleton talking to the guys about, well, everything really. They cover Tough Guy, fell running, and photography. The guys also hear an exclusive piece of news from James, so listen out for that nearer the end.

Send us a text In this interview the guys get the chance to talk to one of the coolest, toughest people on the planet. Lowri Morgan is one of only 6 people (ever) to finish the 350 mile non-stop marathon in the Arctic and not only can she survive extreme cold, she can do heat too as she finished in the top 10 on her first ever ultra in the Amazonian jungle. She has won BAFTAs, jumped out of planes, and she has met the Queen. Her incredible achievements are matched by how down-to-earth she is and...

Send us a text The main themes for this podcast are the last ever Tough Guy and advice for this stage of training for spring marathons. When we say themes, we use it in the loosest possible sense as EVERYTHING is discussed. Special Forces Hell Week is back on so that requires a brief analysis, we discover that David hates Seinfeld, and, rather generously, the guys spend about 20 minutes plugging other podcasts. When they get around to discussing marathon training, they are actually quite helpful...

After an unnoticeable seg, they move on to the Inaugural BBR Brewdog Half-Marathon which Jody was involved in. David then takes us through what he's been up to; from his Pato filled presentation at the MdS Expo in London, to his abuse (and slight faux pas) at the darts, to his marathoning success. There's another call for ideas for the 12 labours of Josh Stephens and these can be submitted over ...

We then find out what David's old school reports said about his sporting capabilities. The guys then bring in Gary from Six Physio to talk about the work they do and answer some Do-Badder questions. Just to be clear, he also answers some sensible, not Do-Badder questions which (unfortunately) makes this another incredibly informative episode. David then tells Jody how much hashin...

They then talk about the rise of the kilometre and newer races which cover a more non-standard racing distance. This week's big philosophical question is why is the 1500m race not a mile? After puzzling over that the guys focus on this episode's main topic - the Red Bull Steeplechase! How did David get on? Did he finish? Did he place? Did he do it legally? W...

Susie also gives us an insight into her running goals and races over the next few months. Unfortunately, nobody briefed Susie before the interview so she's caught a little off guard by David asking if she would ever 'run with a Camel-Tow' but, thankfully, all is explained. Enjoy!

Let's just say if you want to know what 'Peeping Mo' is a new slang term for then the intro to this Podcast will be exceptionally important to you. The discussion then falls quickly onto David's Beerathon where they tease potential new additions before falling back on topic with David's Man...

There's lots of discussion about Doug the Beard which mainly focuses on his Beard but does sometimes stray onto his offer of a race for Jody. A majority of this episode centres around David giving Jody advice for Jody's first Obstacle Course race. That obstacle course race is unlikely to be a Tough Mudder or Spartan but it could be anything from a Dirty Dozen to Judgement Day to Surviva...
