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. Storm Amy? No problem (apparently). Jake braves Stratford Upon Avon Parkrun for the first time - complete with gale force winds and a questionable life choice or two. Meanwhile, Mike takes on his second ever half marathon in Lincoln! Expect chaos: rushed starts thanks to traffic, a painful finish-line shuffle, and enough sweat to fill the Brayford Pool. Oh, and in peak runner energy — Mike just happened to book a romantic weekend away for his and his wife’s 1st wedding anniversary… which, purely by coincidence (honestly!), was right next to the start line of a parkrun. Love may fade, but parkrun results are forever. Ben brings some devastating half marathon news, while the lads look ahead to Napton only 9 days (on the day of record) away! Will they be ready? Will Jake dry out by then? Will Mike’s wife forgive him? Tune in to find out.
