#182 - Silent Disco Runs are Bullshit
Piss, gloves, organ harvesting, minor treason, running on the road like a twat, catheters, racism, hamsters, and Kim Kardashian. Your basic, run-of-the-mill running podcast.
Running is BS
The podcast that loves to hate running. While other podcasts will celebrate your journey, encourage you to go faster and further, and run free, we’d rather talk about bleeding nipples, getting chased by horses and getting horribly injured. Keep it real with Stewart and Amy.

# 181 - Swimming is Bullshit
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
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
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.
#178 - Overgrown Trails are Bullshit
We enjoy some of your quickfire bullshit and accidentally stumble into our favourite talking points of the episode! Once again you are offered completely amateur uninformed medical advice, a load of bollocks about the Enhanced Games, Amy visits a church, and Stu nearly forgets to tell a horrible story. The Enhanced Games set out to ‘transform sport’ but the results looked surprisingly ordinary
#177 - Twisting Your Ankle on a Completely Flat Field is Bullshit
The Great Fall of 2026 has happened, but to the wrong host. We talk quite a lot about AI and how stupid and annoying it is to use, as well as how useful it can be. We've got plenty of listeners getting injured, a good few sensibly ignoring them, and our one-woman bullshit generator is very much back on form.
#176 - Racing Robots are Bullshit
It's time to review the greatest and most important race of the year. No, not the London marathon, the Beijing Robot Half Marathon! Even Amy gets caught up in the excitement of race season and nearly does a 5k race, whilst Stu's got Lidl to thank for another PB. We also decide which injuries are the best to run through, discuss some of the worst chafing we've ever seen, and finish with a story…
#175 - Race Parking is Bullshit
Your complete holistic running companion podcast is back with more gear reviews, route recommendations, and mindset shifts that will really boost your running. That's what a normal podcast would say. We say that we talked about bats, getting into a flow state in a nightmareish tunnel, penis issues, running around Tesco, and what if the next Speed movie was about an elderly lady who couldn't stop…
#174 - Running on Grass is Bullshit
Stu has finally succumbed to carbon running shoes, although he still does not give a shit about them. Amy has successfully #builtuphermileage but now thinks that may be her downfall. We also talk runfluencers yet again, race companies collapsing again, the worst time to wear a running vest again, and creepy post-parkrun comments (again?). Bondarenko Track session Lidl has dropped a £39.99 carbon…
#173 - Sweaty Back Butter is Bullshit
We learn about Amy's fear of new technology and Stu wins an entire cross country division all on his own, or at least in his mind. We have some brand new long run nightmare fuel, two toe tales, physio banter, something about the pigeon lady from Home Alone, and why we all need to build up another fuck bucket.
