The Bailey And Harding Ultra Sound System

It's Episode 33 of the Bailey And Harding Ultra Sound System and Allie and Anna have got a lot of weather chat this week. Speaking of the weather, happy Spine weekend! Also, can you tell the difference between road runners and trail runners at muddy parkruns? Stay tuned to the playlist chat - because there's a musical that may have broken through Allie's cold, icy, musical-hating exterior...Plus w...

(Take 2!) Happy New Year podcats! We're back for 2024, with episode 32 of The Bailey and Harding Ultra Sound System. Allie's back from holiday but is also on holiday again in Devon (which is why she sounds like she's in a toilet, sorry!) Anna's letting loose on spilling all of the beans about running while pregnant, now that that particular cat is out of the bag. And Allie's got an issue with hote...

It's episode 31 of The Bailey and Harding Ultra Sound System and the first of the 'Legends' episodes. Allie and Anna speak to Stu Smith, who's CV reads like a what's what of outdoor adventuring. They speak to Stu about his involvement in the safety teams for some of the world's biggest running and adventure races. He tells tales of working on safety teams with celebrities for TV shows and also, wh...

Allie and Anna look back on 2023 and all of the highs and lows of the Bailey and Harding Ultra Sound System. Episode 30 is full of nostalgia (does it count as nostalgia if it's only 6 months old?), as they give the podcast - and YOU, the listeners - an appraisal. As well as looking back, they're looking ahead to their running goals for 2024, and have a look through your goals too - great for some...

As the year begins to draw to a close, Allie is still out of the office sunning herself in the Philippines, so she and Anna have mopped up all of the scraps from previous episodes that got cut, because they waffled on too long, and have stuck them all together to create this Out Of Office episode. There are various cameo appearances from friends of the pod, including an update from Podcast Pet Dea...

This week, in episode 28 of the Bailey And Harding Ultra Sound System, Allie's been for a run with the legendary Damian Hall and they talk about how to get over yourself when it comes to going for a run with someone who's faster than you. Anna's been making a fool of herself at a secret photoshoot, and she's also putting brands in the bin whose sizes don't make any sense. Also, in case you didn't...

Welcome back to the Bailey and Harding Ultra Sound System, and episode 27 of silliness. Anna's been back running along the canal, which prompts a conversation between the pair of them about how they feel about going back to the scene of ultras they've run before. More songs, that have a bit of a 90s theme, are being added to the playlist. They're getting smooshy with your responses to what ultra r...

The Bailey and Harding Ultra Sound System is half a year old!!! It's episode 26! Allie's in Cornwall and doesn't feel awful, 'cos she's not dying, although she did fall over and bash her knee. Anna's been living her wins vicariously through other people again and the pair of them discuss the hot running topics of the week; using ketchup as gels (don't do that) and the new Trail Ultra Majors series...

If we were a parkrun, we'd be a milestone this week. It's episode 25 of The Bailey and Harding Ultra Sound System, and Anna and Allie catch you up on their week of running.

Allie is fresh off the back of running the Centurion Autumn 100 miler. We say 'fresh' - that's perhaps not the most accurate adjective. In episode 22 of The Bailey and Harding Ultrasound System, she's giving Anna a blow-by-blow account of what went down on the day. There are some learnings in there, possible cruelty to animals, peri-menopause chat and a lovely inspirational speech we reckon will g...

It's Autumn 100 taper week for Allie, as we get stuck into Episode 21 of The Bailey and Harding Ultra Sound System. The girls are talking Heroic individualism, more maranoia than you can shake a stick at and Allie forces Anna's hand into sharing her grim which, actually, even by the standards of this pod, is probably over-sharing. Plus your correspondence about solutions for aid stations with no t...

It's no secret that the day didn't quite go to plan, so tune in as she spills the tea and gives a full debrief of what went down on a cold, wet and windy day in the hills. There are a lot of learnings hopefully useful tips for you lovely lot too to tak...

It's episode 19 of the Bailey and Harding Ultra Sound System and just a little warning here: things get RANTY. There's a lot that's going in the bin this week, including mandatory kit dodgers, single-use shoes (what?!) and private land. Not to mention Allie's disdain at the absolute obfuscation of ultra (if you're not sure what that means, you're not the only one!) PLUS, it transpires that there's...

It's episode 18 of The Bailey And Harding Ultra Sound System and both Anna and Allie have some race debriefs from the weekend (of two very different races). They chat about how, as runners, we have the ability to perform questionable maths when the struggle bus comes a honking. And we have a question about the lyrics of a seemingly tame song on the playlist, and it's not Limp Bizkit's Chocolate St...

This week on the Bailey and Harding Ultra Sound System, Anna and Allie discuss their weekly Wins, Grims, and Get In The Bins, which involve bulls, parkrun Dads and Anna's brain going into meltdown because the taper worm is coming (and everybody's crying).

It's episode 16 of The Bailey and Harding Ultra Sound System and, if you hadn't already guessed from the name 'The Brown Caterpillar', there are an abundance of poo-related tales from the trails from your disgusting lot! Anna's got a bee in her bonnet about race rule breakers and may have started a cult of people obsessed with food use by dates. Allie's had more thoughts about The Ballad Of Chasey...

This week on The Bailey and Harding Ultra Sound System, join Anna and DJ Lethal (aka Allie) as they discuss their racing wins of the week: Grand Tour of Skiddaw and UTMB ETC. As ever, the 'Get In The Bin' section raises some controversy (should people propose at the finish lines of races and why do people put activities on Strava that are not meant for Strava??). We've got some bangers to be added...

Unlucky for some, it's episode 13 of The Bailey And Harding Ultra Sound System podcast. Anna and Allie are back to bring you updates on their running adventures and there are plenty of tales from the audience in 'Correspondence Corner' (yup, we know it's a rubbish name, but it's staying).

In episode 12 of the Bailey And Harding Ultra Sound System, Anna gives a debrief on her weekend in the Lake District doing some recces for her 100km race, while Allie joins us from her hideaway in Cornwall - and she's made a huge life change.

Anna’s also had an update from the anonymous dile...

In episode 9 of the Bailey and Harding Ultra Sound System, Allie and Anna debrief from their jaunt up the Yorkshire 3 Peaks. Their Win, Grim and Get In The Bin include tales of double boobs from bra pads and the moist inner layer of the trail shoe (no, that's not the name of a new band going on the Ultra Sound System playlist!) Speaking of the playlist, Anna's had a bit of a mad 5 minutes going th...
