Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Jody and David discuss: What they'd do if they were sponsored by Nike Why they want to get Billy Mills on the podcast One of the most disturbing things to appear in the BBR Facebook group - a rather gruesome runner's coaster Revealing Matt Lawton of The Times as the journalist who suggested Beth Potter's 5k time was dubious - and then got called out...

Send us Fan Mail Running a marathon clearly isn't hard enough for some people. Some like to run in impossibly heavy or complicated outfits. Others prefer to make it difficult in other ways. Few ever think... "I know I'll pull a car". But one man who did that was Corey Philpott who became the world record holder with his car-pulling antics. In this episode, Jody and David speak...

Send us Fan Mail Anyone who has ever watched the London Marathon will remember the guy who ran it in a diving suit. Mainly because they're still covering his progress three days after the event has finished. But that guy is Lloyd Scott, and running London in a diving suit is just one in an incredible career of ridiculous challenges Lloyd has undertaken all in the name of charity. As well as j...

Send us Fan Mail Ok, if this looks a bit odd it's because we've switched the format a little.  We've separated out the intros and the interviews so they are now two standalone episodes. If you preferred the intros and not the interviews, you just need to listen to these standalone episodes. If you prefer just the interviews, you can skip these. But why would you? We're hilariou...

Send us Fan Mail Last weekend Beth Potter unexpectedly broke Beatrice Chepkoech’s World Record for the road 5k, running 14:41 at the Podium 5km event in Lancashire.  Having previously run the track 10k at the Olympics she switched to triathlon and her switch in training focus has clearly worked.  David caught up with Beth to find out what happened during the race, what she attributes the performan...

Send us Fan Mail It's not often BBR strays away from running (well, it's pretty much every other week)... but we've not been as happy to do so as when we had on open water swimming champ Keri-anne Payne.

As well as being an incredible runner who has run across the US and has been...

Send us Fan Mail Why aren't runners considered when it comes to city and town planning? Whereas cyclists and pedestrians are considered, runners don't seem to get a look-in. Well, that's hopefully about to change with the launch of the Running Mayors. With each Running Mayor responsible for a different location, town or city, the idea is for runners to gain a voice when it comes to...
