Cheap carbon shoes, influencer trends, and some properly unfiltered running opinions.

Gary and Ben are back with another mixed bag episode covering everything from Ben’s public apology over a missed yellow sticker bargain to the rise of budget carbon-plated running shoes and whether they’re actually worth it.

They chat about Jimmy Gressier’s latest European 5K record, the growing competition in the super shoe market, and why they’re still sceptical about £40 “performance” options from Lidl. There’s also discussion around influencer culture in running, smart (and not so smart) race hacks, and the balance between cost and quality when it comes to kit.

The ChatGBT segment dives into the BPN Backyard Ultra, the debate around women in ultra running, plus listener questions on training, plyometrics, and the maddest kit they’ve seen out on the trails.

The episode finishes with Gary and Ben picking their top 5 RUNcensored episodes so far, featuring some standout guests from the podcast’s history.

Raw, honest, and very much off-script.

Fresh off the back of the Fellsman Ultra, Gary and Ben are joined by friend of the podcast Rich Lazenby for a very tired, slightly broken, and heavily sleep-deprived episode.

The lads dive into what makes the Fellsman one of the UK’s most iconic ultra distance trail running events: brutal heat across the Yorkshire Dales, military-level Scout organisation, incredible checkpoint support, navigation decisions, cramp, fatigue, and the unique atmosphere that keeps runners coming back year after year.

There’s also the usual nonsense along the way including empty Spar shelves, missing San Pellegrino and accusations that producer Chris Davies is avoiding the pod because of football results.

Ben also found an old, dishelleved carrot in the back of the fridge that looks (and probably feels) just like Gary right now.

A proper post-race debrief from one of Britain’s most historic ultras.

It starts with football, drifts into OAP care duties, and somehow lands on one of the most important trail events in the UK right now.

Gary and Ben chat Fellsman prep, crewing plans, and then get stuck into SheUltra™ in North Wales - nearly 2,500 women, brutal conditions and a proper community-first approach to racing. No ego, no obsession with times, just people showing up for something bigger.

Along the way there’s Spar reviews, Wetherspoons action, and a look at the recent RunThrough Lake District Ultra which served as a selection race for the middle-distance GB team.

Unfiltered running chat. As always.
