The Bad Boy Running Podcast

Warning! If you've not listened to another Bad Boy Running Podcast before, probably best not to start with this one... everything in this relates to other episodes. Wondered what had happened to all those challenges Jody and David set in the earlier episodes? No? Oh, well... you're going to hate this episode then as we catch-up on everything they've been up to, including: David reveals two (completely irrelevant to running) dating stories which reveal too much about David The first Bad Boy of the Month awards is handed out to an absolute star of a story. Jody and David react to their first ever one-star review (shocking purely because it took so long) Jody and David then react to NOT making the finals of The Running Awards and call on Anonymous to help them Oddly, the conversation veers onto who would play Jody and David in a movie about themselves... ... then the chaps discuss the first EVER Bad Boy Running Pubcrawl on Monday 28 January 2015. And the accompanying Virtual Run (no SERIOUSLY!) David gives an u

And, at last, it ends... The final day of the 12 Days of Bad Boy Christmas. We're talking abuse received while running. And it seems to have happened a lot. To Jody.

For Christmas, Jody and David sing out their 12 Days of Bad Boy Christmas... and it's very different from the original. Running fads come and go (a bit like flash-in-the-pan podcasts...) and so on Day 5, Jody and David turn their sights upon more soft targets. Virtual runs, The Color Run, superfoods and Paleo are just some of the targets for the lads' cutting wit and wisdom (or is that just snarky sarcasm?) Warning... it's a bit ranty. Enjoy!

It's as close to a specialist subject as Jody and David have... it's talking booze and running. (SPOILER: The answer is YES) If you've not already done it please cast your vote for Bad Boy Running at The Running Awards 2016 (www.therunningawards.com) - you'll find us in the Online & Publication/Online Community section. Thanks! HEALTH WARNING! Please do not consider anything they say as medically accurate or sensible. They have developed hardy livers to go with their callused feet. Here's some of the beer-fuelled banter in this episode: A superb demonstration by Jody and David why becoming a BBR sponsor is potentially the worst idea for an advertiser David shows a worrying lack of knowledge about female-based yeast infections Why Bad Boy Running is BIG in Japan and why Norway is the best place and How you can be the No.1 Bad Boy Running fan in your country (and possibly get arrested for the cause) David finds a way to try and spark Middle Eastern conflict among listeners of BBR and upset the Saudis Jody

Hallelujah, it's here. Jody finally makes the leap and goes to a running club... but was joining the right thing to do...? If you've not already done it please cast your vote for Bad Boy Running at The Running Awards 2016 (www.therunningawards.com) - you'll find us in the Online & Publication/Online Community section. Thanks! Now what were we talking about again...? Here's the lowdown in Episode 9: David admits to stalking Danny Kendall and ends up going for a run with him (and David offends everyone who has ever run the MdS who isn’t an elite runner…) We discover some of the sneaky tactics the elite runners at the MdS get up to… no, really! Hallelujah! Jody finally goes to his local running club, Haywards Heath Harriers… and ends up eating his words David comes in for some criticism from runner at Tyne Bridge Harriers (and Jody manages to offend the entire North East with a terrible Geordie impression) The chaps are wowed with a two theme tunes submitted by a listener… and they really are good. David ru

It's a tough subject, but someone's gotta talk about it... yes, those dreaded three letters. D. N. F. Did Not Finish. In this episode, Jody and David talk all things DNF as they introduce the first (and possibly last) ever Bad Boy Running guest, ultra-athlete Stefanie Bishop. Here's what we got up to:  Jody confesses to doing something he’s never done before… and David shows absolutely no sympathy towards him (honestly, not a word of support) The chaps drop the bombshell that the actually have a guest… introducing the incredible extreme racing champion and Death Race veteran Stefanie Bishop Stefanie explains her experience of running the first winter Death Race, shooting 9mms and tackling Olympic wrestlers… as well as the slightly lacking ‘motivational’ speeches by the organiser to help you through it Stefanie ponders which is more difficult: sat in a cold pond for hours with hypothermia or drinking 4 litres of milk? Stefanie reveals the quality of the reward for completing Death Races (honestly, it’s worth

If you were a fan of David from his Special Forces appearance, then this may be the episode that changes your opinion of him... (he goes into dark territory here.. only kidding!). In this episode, we're talking about elitism in running and whether some competitions need to be more elitist to actually mean anything. (Oh, and the Jody joining a running club saga continues to rumble on...) Here's some of the japery you can expect: Jody rolls out a new load of excuses and reveals the pitiful amount of running he’s done and cleverly tries to shift the blame for his lethargy by accusing David of being a poor motivator. Jody rolls out a new load of excuses and reveals the pitiful amount of running he’s done and cleverly tries to shift the blame for his lethargy by accusing David of being a poor motivator. Jody does a minimal amount of running and explains why he hasn’t been able to handle “the hilliest Parkrun in Sussex”. David recounts his first race for ages and inadvertently qualifies for the World Champion

Why do you race? That’s the question Jody and David are tackling this episode as they veer into banging on about whatever it is that helps them run. WARNING! This episode contains some actual information about running… please don’t hold it against them. Here’s some of the delightful highlights: Jody talks about completing his 30 day bodyweight challenge… and lets slip a revealing admission about his mum and karate David talks about his ankle…. again and makes the strangest comparison between running and playing the violin An inspirational message to all the non-runners who’ve persisted in listening to Bad Boy Running thus far David thinks about getting an Iron Man tattoo and explains how he earned/scammed a rare Tough Mudder headband The duo question the point of race t-shirts and badly explain Comrades Marathon Why MDS 1st Brit Danny Kendal is better at dancing and writing theme tunes than David (probably) At some point it gets quite philosophical and some actual advice is shared around the 25 minute mark -

Here it is. The second part of our bonus episodes where we talk about David's (or Hellard's) experience on BBC Two's Special Forces Ultimate Hell Week. Here's the highlights: David reveals how he is now the No.1 hated person in the Philippines and why he’s worried for his safety Jody gives David an honest appraisal of how well he came across on the show… David gets excited remembering kicking the sh*t out of someone in the fighting challenge David and Jody remember Big Brother’s Nasty Nick David explains his choice of Ronan Keating as the Navy SEALS tune The guys talk Timmy Mallet while David reveals a sinister tale involving Michaela Strachan Why marching is hard for small people, according to David How David will NEVER be able to escape his poor press up legacy David says ‘smashing it’ a ridiculous number of times in a short space of time Hellard reveals his hidden strategy to drink his way into hospital as a finale Jody reveals his own beastings at the hands of his Olympic-training Filipino ex-girlfriend

In this episode we’re pondering the question of the worst things you can do before running a marathon. Some of the things we talk about include: The many reasons why Jody STILL hasn’t joined a running club What the point of those terrible clickbait running listicle features are A list of the worst things you can possibly do before trying to run a marathon (our suggestions are quite frankly ludicrous…) Why David claims to be the slowest person to have run a 2.45 marathon… (or at least explains what the hell he’s talking about when he makes such a claim) Jody getting annoyed at David’s constant mentions of beetroot and demanding an explanation Enjoy!

We're not exaggerating by claiming this is a classic episode. We say that about every episode... but this one is a bit special with Jody and David talk about David's entry into BBC Two's Special Forces Hell Week series. For some reason, some unsavoury characters also pop up in conversation. Here's what went wrong: Why Jody’s wife is suspicious of his reasons for recording this podcast and David makes a damaging faux pas about Jody's wife Mo Farah leaves a review for the Bad Boy Running Podcast and Jody & David plan to ‘help’ UK Athletics with a generous offer Jody drops the C-bomb and rants about middle-class accountants Jody admits to having played in a netball team at school David’s trick to sounding like you’re great at a sport David reveals his Special Forces Hell Week involvement David explains how he researched Special Forces… on Youtube and reveals his training regime Why endurance was the best prep for the show David makes a damaging admission about how he likes to train… in the showers Jody’s ta
