“I Just Thought I Was Being Disciplined” – George Foster on Red-S, Recovery & Racing Culture
This week’s guest is George Foster — elite fell runner, fifth-fastest Bob Graham Round finisher in history, and a man with hard-earned wisdom on the dangers of pushing too far.
In his first RUNcensored appearance, George joins Gary and Ben to talk about the performance-cost of under-fuelling. What starts as a light-hearted chat quickly digs into how a calorie deficit, mistaken for discipline, led to serious health consequences. It’s an unfiltered conversation about the pressures of the running world, how easily things can tip into disordered habits — and what recovery really looks like.
Alongside this, we dive into George’s recent race at Trofeo Nasego in Italy, a brutal European mountain running classic featuring a Vertical Kilometre and a technical up-and-down course. He explains the unique challenge of VKs, and how the European race scene compares to the UK’s.
There’s also big opinions on kit, club colours, and whether poles belong on a Bob Graham Round — plus the usual laughter, roastings, and chaos you expect from RUNcensored.
🎙️ What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
⚠️ George’s experience with Red-S and why awareness matters
⛰️ European mountain races: VKs, altitude, and race culture
🥣 Under-fuelling, false discipline, and the path to recovery
🏃♂️ George’s take on the Bob Graham Round and use of poles
🎽 Debates on kit, club rules, and racing etiquette
😂 Gear mistakes, roastings, and classic trail running chaos
Why You Should Listen:
This episode tackles serious issues in endurance sport with honesty and humour. Whether you’re training for your next big race or figuring out how to fuel properly, George’s story will hit home. Unfiltered, insightful, and essential listening for runners at every level.
