Ep 119 - Matt Fitzgerald on 80/20 running and heart rate
Send us Fan Mail Ok, this has been a long time coming due to various technical issues with the recording but finally it's here. Jody and David sit down with Matt Fitzgerald, author of multiple running books including 80/20 Running and Racing Weight. They're specifically focused on 80/20 in this episode and the importance of managing intensity when training. There's loads of great stuff in this interview with Matt and (fortunately for Fi Silk) very little chitter chatter from Jody and David - mainly because all that content was lost. So finally - and probably far too late for your training to make any difference - here's Matt Fitzgerald talking 80/20.

Ep 118 - Brighton Marathon, Arran Ultra, Monarch's Way, Mike Bushell
Send us Fan Mail It's a catch-up episode with Jody and David and, for once, they're talking about running. In this episode you'll learn: Why Mike Bushell is clearly playing for laughs at the Commonwealth Games How BBR have managed to end up at the Running Awards again (and still with no sign of a trophy...) David reveals another romantic gesture from an old flame that went horribly wrong when the lady in question failed to understand his esoteric reference Jody explains his Sub4 failure at Brighton Marathon and why it's better to run a 4:40 than a 4:01 A full list of all the things Jody got wrong on his marathon... ... and the one thing he got right (i.e. the location) What is absolutely amazing about being a Do-Badder An introduction to a race you may not have heard of before... that begins with M and ends in "onarch's Way" Why BBR is the best community on the internet (seriously, guys and ladies, we LOVE you...) David talks through his Arran Ultra experience and his surprisingly hard second day racing The boggy joy that one Do-Badder founds themselves stuck in How David managed to get Caffeine Bullet promotion in despite racing Sorry, Fi.

Ep 117 - Rhalou Allerhand on bizarre races and online journalism
Send us Fan Mail The guys speak with former Running Bug head of content Rhalou Allerhand (at the time of the podcast. Rhalou's now back at Runner's World) about running journalism, what people want to read about and some weird races you not have heard of. When we say this episode is surprising, we REALLY mean it. Right away the conversation takes a turn Jody and David never expected and never recovers (fortunately). This is proper Do-Badder territory. In this episode discover: The origins of a naked race through a zoo (and the right outfit to wear. Oddly...) How Rhalou ended up in the world of running journalism via a very surprising route (and how that's affected what she's covered) Exactly what online readers want to read about (this will surprise you) Why you need a baby goat to succeed in online journalism The crazy races Rhalou has participated in (and why you may want to avoid them) Why you should never accept the advances of old ladies wandering around forests Why being good at running isn't a prerequisite for writing great content How to stay enthusiastic about the subject you're writing about (i.e. how to keep falling in love with running over and over again) The Silk Cut is at 36 mins if you want to avoid hearing Jody make a very, very damaging admission involving cycling...

Allie reveals: How the hell she got roped into doing it in the first place The extremely limited diet of a Mongolia ultrarunner Why you need to leave the wood burner in your yurt the hell alone if you don't want to end up naked in the middle of a frozen lake trying to cool down The best strategy to get you from one side of the lake to the other Why you WILL probably die if you run this race if you don't take it seriously and trying winging it like most Brits at multi-day events (yep, we're looking at you again MdS) What the great and good of Mongolian government thought when they enjoyed an evening of vodka and more vodka with the Do-Badders And David also takes this opportunity to introduce Allie as BBR's new roving interviewer/interviewee (he's not quite sure which...).

Ep 102 - Sean Conway
Send us Fan Mail It's one of the episodes you've been waiting for... Jody and David speak with Sean Conway, adventurer extraordinaire and multiple record holder. But that's not before the chaps go off on a complete tangent about news and current affairs (seriously, not seriously), wannabe explorers wearing pants up Snowden and midlife crises. In this episode, here's what you'll discover: Why Sean sold his business for £1... and then what he did with that £1 How to cycle across the world on a budget... ... and survive being knocked over with a car (and then going on to CONTINUE the run) Why Sean WANTS you to become an investment banker and forget about David comes up with an idea to discourage people running bad marathons David then comes up with the strangest idea for a new race, involving the star of Con Air David reveals his race nightmare at the Edinburgh Ultra (and finally settles the question of which is better... PS It's not Edinburgh Marathon) Watch out for the second part of the interview where Sean reveals more about his adventures. For those who want to get straight to the interview with Sean, The Silk Cut is at XX minutes Join the conversation!

Ep 101 - Camille Herron on breaking the 100 mile record
Send us Fan Mail Ok, this week's episode is a bit special. And not in that way. Bad Boy Running has bumped this right up the schedule because we had Camille booked in to speak to Jody and David simply for her badass drinking antics (and the fact she's sponsored by a brewery). But as if by a huge amount of luck, Camille ( @runcamille ) only went and broke the 100 mile record at the Tunnel Hill 100 #TunnelHill100... on her FIRST attempt at a 100 miler. CRAZY! It's a slightly shorter interview with Camille on this episode but the guys manage to pack in: How Camille manages to sneak in a beer or two on the race and how she discovered it as a race strategy (she even has a medical explanation which leaves the lads confused) Exactly what Camille eats when she's running her 100 milers (or any race) Why her weekly mileage will make your eyes water (no, seriously. SERIOUSLY this is ridiculous) Why she decided to make the transition from road ultras to trail And what she's planning next Seriously, this is a great one. Join the conversation!

Ep 98 - OCR World Championships Chat
Send us Fan Mail David has been to film (but not partake in) the OCR World Championships. They offer their opinions and it would appear that David's elitism has begun to deteriorate. Jody talks about why it's hard to compare Ultra Running with OCR and has an idea to discuss at the end about a possible BBR spin off. Join the conversation!
