  • #186 - Running Films are Bullshit, part 4
    Oct 12 2026

    SPOILER ALERT - we will be talking about films from the 1970s you've never heard of and will never watch.

    We watch some wildly different films to see what they get right and wrong about running, and just how racist they are.

  • #185 - Shitting All Over Yourself is Bullshit
    Sep 28 2026

    Stories of poo that did and didn't happen, though this is more fun to talk about because they happened to other people.

    Stu is feeling old, and as an old man, wants to complain about it.

    Amy is still young and foolish enough to believe the myth that a gym will help her running.

  • #184 - Bachelorette Runs are Bullshit
    Sep 14 2026

    Are run clubs bullshit, or is it just an easy subject to bash on social media?

  • #183 - Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm is Bullshit
    Aug 31 2026

    Stu doesn't win a race, and Amy goes on a charming, craft-filled, pilgrimage run experiencing joy, sorrow, and tribulations.

    We (sort of) finally learn Amy's blood type but still don't know why we need to, ask for fancy dress ideas, and ponder humanity's downfall at the hands of the robots.

  • # 181 - Swimming is Bullshit
    Jul 27 2026

    So much racing to catch up on! A couple of epic run reports and neither of them from Amy, though the running world is still in shock that she went to a parkrun.

    Our listeners ignore silly foreign warnings, wonder what happens to all the safety pins, have witchcraft related injuries, and get pissed on. And you say we're the strange ones.

  • #180 - Boats are Bullshit
    Jul 6 2026

    It's medals galore for the Extended BS universe, as Stu became a champion and Amy became sick on a boat.

    We have a parkrun revelation, tiny pins, frogs, more nonsense marathons, mansplaining, and proof that paranoia about your friend being in the rescue helicopter is not always unfounded...

  • #179 - Crispy Dry Bushes are Bullshit
    Jun 15 2026

    Amy is the consistent runner this week, while Stu fails and then quits for a while.

    We also have a listener story that perfectly fits the Running is BS story algorithm, some tips on how not to handle accidentally trespassing in a race, brambles, being saved by an e-scooter, and, as ever, falling over.
