Description

Welcome to the running podcast where three mates from Birmingham swap miles for mics and share more than just blisters! Ben Blakeman, Jake Ramsey & Mike Duffy, a trio at very different points on their running journeys, but all equally skilled at dodging training plans and telling a good story.

It’s Napton 10K Week!

Seven lads. One race. Unlimited excuses.

In this episode, the gang gears up (mentally, if not physically) for the mighty Napton 10K. You’ll hear from Ben, Jake, and Mike plus Blue Tilley, Chris Pritchard, Fahmi Bulaleh, and Tom Hodson as they share their rigorous race prep routines (which may or may not include carb-loading via the pub menu).

Will anyone actually train? Will someone forget their running shoes? Will Ben finally admit he’s just here for the medal photo? Tune in to find out how this ragtag group of “athletes” plans to survive 10 kilometres of pure character building.

Listen. Laugh. Lower your expectations.
