Send us Fan Mail Jody and David discussed the sub-20 minute 5k/Ironman bet before Christmas... ... but for some reason that episode got lost.

Send us Fan Mail When you were 13, what did you get up to? PlayStation? Football? Hanging out doing nothing with your pals? In other words, not much.

Send us Fan Mail This episode is INSANE! In what we reckon is a world first (Bad Boy Guarantee), Jody and David speak to triple stroller marathon world record holder Cynthia Arnold.

It raised a lot of questions from the Do-Badders....

She talks ab...

Send us Fan Mail We know cyclists have a ton of places they can hang out socially (so we can avoid those places...), but what about runners?

In this episode, Jody and David speak to its founder George Rendall about...

Send us Fan Mail The Original Mountain Marathon (The OMM) is one of the longest running event series in the UK.
