MARMCAST Episode 59: The Random Runner
Welcome to Episode 59!! It's the last pod before a mid Oxford break, this week the boys jump straight into discussing poor quality Adios Pro 5s and the uproar therein. Wear or no wear? (No wear). Andy discusses the family trip to Historic Chester, whilst Tim (at the moment) isn't going to Manchester. Parkrun Parables features Andre discussing his 100 volunteer effort, which somehow "slipped" out on Saturday. Tim tries and fails at one of the most vulnerable parkruns in the Midlands. The Random Runner, Ultra Legend Paul Manson, drops by to talk about his recent 7 marathon Cruise Ships challenge as well as all things trail and trainers. The boys ask the Strava Club for what they are up to over the weekend, and are met with some jet setting responses. The review covers the Petzl Big Bear 10K for Andy and the Vitality London 10K for Tim. Both races yielded decent performances from both - but how were the dirt traps, medals, swag and scenery?

MARMCAST Episode 58: Rob
Welcome to Episode 58!! This week the boys jump straight into discussing poor quality (and high quality) 1980's sitcoms. From Dear John to Bread. Sunday nights of horrors. Talking of horrors, Andy barely survived a hornet sting, but lived to tell the tale. He was nearly killed. Parkrun Parables features Andre discussing the Winter Course at Arrow Valley. Again. He may have mentioned it already. Talking of badly kept secrets - it is Andy's 100 Voluteer parkrun credit tomorrow. Please don't mention it, it will only embarrass him. Rob Crowe joins us for some 1960's based Goldy on Guitar, where all of the song titles are clearly in the verse, but BEST of all, he stays online for a new version of Guess The Number. And this version of the game is FIRE! The boys ask the Strava Club for the race they'd run again and again and get some lovely read outs, as well as your emails - which are full of advice! Tim drones on about the new Adidas Pro 5, which are on their way directly back to the store, whilst Andy pretend to be interested, with the Vitality 10K round the corner for Tim and the Big Bear Petzl Night Trail for Andy.

MARMCAST Episode 57: Lee & Ted
Welcome to Episode 57!! The mullet has gone, yes gone! Is MARM half the man he was? Absolutely not clearly. The boys discuss the full spec of Andy's new Stepway, as well as the merits of Tentboxes. Parkrun Parables is null and void, although Andy had a huge milestone coming up from an organisational point of view, which will be well, well worth celebration. Lee Hart-Hunt joins us for some 1990's based Goldy on Guitar and boardgame banter. Yes, board games! Lee is a dice wielding legend of outrageous proportions. Ted Leahy, AKA Ted Offroad drops by for a chat on all things crag, fell and general running tomfoolery and tomfellary. He's simply a legend. The boys ask the Strava Club for their perfect race, with completely individualised everything. Starts, finished, scenery, distance - the lot. Guess My Number contributes another jaw dropping moment of skill and intrigue and the Worcester City Half and Lake Vyrnwy Half get the full build up before the official reviews next week. Guess my number remains. Forever. Music tonight: Friggsy - "Building Up and Tearing England Down" Contact us: marmcastpod@gmail.com Join the Facebook Groups: Middle Aged Running Man; Going for Goldy.

MARMCAST Episode 56: David
Welcome to Episode 56!! Its a less lengthy episode tonight, the boys get stuck into the running chat straightaway by discussing the Directors Cut of Rocky 4 and the Godfather 3. Lengthy time is also given to the bullying of siblings. Parkrun Parables has Andy discussing the secret new course reveal at Arrow Valley whilst Tim was pulverised by an Olympian at a parkrun for which he had been on a winning streak. David Atkins joins us for some 1980's based Goldy on Guitar and drops a shameless plug for the Ironbridge Half 2027. The boys ask the Strava Club for the strangest place they've ever listened to MARMCAST. Dudley and Hinckley turn out to be winners. Guess My Number contributes another jaw dropping moment of skill and intrigue and the Worcester City Half and Lake Vyrnwy Half get the full build up before the official reviews next week. Its a short(er) one, but a good one. (The episode) Music Tonight comes from Nanny G featuring A. Goldsby.

MARMCAST Episode 55: Doccers
Welcome to episode 55!! Its a lengthy episode tonight, Tim has a new mullet and Andy has visited a shoe shop called Pavers. It's pure comfort in an almost espadrille. Parkrun Parables has Andy eating humble pie, as the test event for the new Arrow Valley course falls flat. Will he have more luck on the morrow. The Doc Meister General is given the keys to the MARMCAST Green Room and we get our first peek into his Gym Dungeon. Technical issues may have put paid to Goldy this week, but the Doc talks Adidas Pro 5, Alphafly 4 and the con that is, the running gait assessment. He even tries to rescue Guess My Number....Unsuccessfully. Andy and Tim have a race leaderboard to assess, and this week Timberhonger, Pershore and Antrim Coast Hlaf get the 4 part Ranking test. Its a long one, but a good one. (The episode) Music Tonight comes from The Indigo Sunsets with "For The Better Man".

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 47!! MARMCAST is exactly ONE YEAR old.
