The Bad Boy Running Podcast

Ben Greenfield has become one of the leading voices in the movement to reach the peak performance in body and brain. A former bodybuilder and Spartan athlete, Ben is now an established expert and coach with a huge global audience of followers who look to his in-depth advice for guidance. So kind of like the opposite of BBR. He's also author of the New York Times bestselling book, “Beyond Training: Mastering Endurance, Health and Life”. Oh, and of course he has his own podcast Ben Greenfield Fitness, again which is the antithesis of everything BBR - professional, organised and knowledgeable.  In this episode, David grills Ben across a range of subjects and gets answers on how to improve the range of human performance both physically and mentally.

Cameron Wurf is that annoying kid at school who was naturally amazing at every sport he played. You know the one. He can literally pick a sport and be amazing at it. The Aussie was first a national champion and Olympic level rower, then jumped over to cycling before moving to Team Ineos where he has his the Ironman World Champs as his target. Just a matter of fact, he trains with some of the world's greatest athletes including Chris Froome and Eliud Kipchoge. And, you know what's even better - Cam is a really great guy and spills the bean on his experience in all disciplines on this episode. (Jody's best bit is when Cam tells the truth about cyclists...)

Jody speaks with Tony Matesi, former director of Spartan Endurance and author of The Legend Of The Death Race, an account of his three years trying to conquer the event. Tony has a really interesting story from a family of circus performers who became a competitive cheerleader and then moved into obstacle course racing, and eventually ultras. In this episode, he explains what attracted him about his first Death Race, how he prepared, what the race is like and why he came back three times before he felt he conquered it. He also reveals his latest project to record stories of endurance athletes. Enjoy! If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else.

For several weeks now, Bad Boy Running has featured inspirational runners and individuals who have changed the face of their sport or are making inroads to overcoming ignorance or prejudice. So we thought it was about time we got back to talking about the real issues...  BEER! David and Jody catch up with Chris Robertson to discuss the important issues of the day, i.e. what EXACTLY is involved in Century Week, a week of ultimate endurance where you have to drink 100 beers and run 100 miles. (And possibly still go to work!) Everything you need to know about athleticism and endurance you will find in this podcast episode. Enjoy!

Thabang Madiba is one inspirational guy. From a deprived township, his path into trail running wasn't exactly easy. Living no-one nears mountains, Thabang had to - and still does - cycle miles and miles to get to trail races. And then he wins them. A lot of them. Thabang is a multiple champion of South African trails and - in the predominantly white trail running community - he has dominated and became the first black athlete to represent South Africa in trail running. In this episode, Jody and David speak to Thabang about his path to trail running and the South African trail running scene. Enjoy!

“All women need to change their training plans.“ It’s a bold statement, but have you had training sessions that have just gone badly, where you’ve felt like crap and you can’t explain why or had weeks when you feel invincible? It’s likely to be because of when you were in your menstruation cycle. David, Jody and Allie speak to Renee McGregor about how the hormones women produce at different times of their cycle directly affect performance, nutritional needs and even when you should race. We find out why and how to create training plans to match your varying physiology so you can not only train smarter and banish the bad days but also use your cycle to your advantage. This really is a must-listen for all female athletes and all men who want to break the taboo around talking about periods. Enjoy!

Ok, you *probably* weren't expecting this... but we got Dean Karnazes talking cannabis. Yeah, not in that way, but more about his partnership with a CBD brand offering running supplements. This is the second time Dean has appeared on the podcast and he's always a great guest. He also takes the time to talk about his relationship with Spartan as they move into the ultrarunning space as well as his clothing preference when he's indoors. (Hint: don't accept any offers to stay over at Dean's, ok?) This is another good one. Enjoy! If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else.

So Bad Boy Running has officially gone to the Dark Side. We've invited the greatest champion of Ironman for a chat.... and we LOVED IT! In this episode, Jody and David speak with four-time Ironman World Champion Chrissie Wellington and... well... it's pretty obvious how the guys were a *little* bit in love with Chrissie once they got off the call. :) Even if you've heard Chrissie before, this episode is a real eye-opener as she talks in depth about the period before becoming a professional triathlete, her passion for international development and what it feels like (good and bad) to be part of a triathlon training team. Seriously, this is one great listen. Chrissie even has a few words of advice to help Jody in his Ironman challenge... Enjoy!

We don't care what you've done in ultrarunning, your achievements are nothing compared with Mimi Anderson's. With a bunch of Guinness World Records to her name, Mimi has ticked off so many of the iconic ultraraces and more, including Double Badwater, Spartathlon, 6633 Ultra, JOGLE, and won a legion of fans in the process. She's known as the world's most inspirational female runner for a reason. Starting her running career at 36, Mimi jumped straight into the frying pan with the Marathon des Sables and her list of achievements quickly grew from there. Running offered Mimi so much, but the level of endurance has also caused issues and injuries which now prevents her from competing at the same level (sadly, she's turned to the Dark Side, i.e. triathlon). David talks to Mimi about her career and the impact shifting away from running is having - plus a warning for those ultrarunners who are pushing themselves to the edge. Enjoy!

Do you have a survivor's instinct? Would you step up when the chips are down and your life was on the line? Or would you crumble into a sobbing, pathetic mess like a triathlete who lost their left shoe in transition? On this episode, the guys speak with Joe Oldendorf - a true survivor. Joe went out for 20 mile long run on a remote trail in his home of Washington State and fell and broke his leg after 12 miles. His injury was so severe he was unable to walk. Fortunately, he had his phone. Unfortunately, there was no signal. So, he crawled for 12 hours to get within phone signal range so he could call 911. 12 hours! David speaks to Joe about his experience and what kept him going for that amount of time with his ankle detached from his tibia. (Urgh!) This is properly inspiring. Enjoy!

Running isn't exactly the funniest subject (not if you've listened to BBR for a while...) But it seems there is comedy gold in the re-telling of the infamous 1904 Olympic marathon in St Louis. And Nic Sampson is the man to do it. Nic is a stand up comedian with a one-person show dedicated to the utter craziness of what happened at the 1904 Marathon. If you don't know, don't Google it... just listen to this episode and marvel at how utterly Do-Badder the whole thing was. Enjoy!

When you're the husband and coach for ultrarunning champ Camille Herron, you would be forgiven for thinking you're somewhat in the shadows. But Connor Holt is a serious athlete who was "kind of a big deal" during his college years and has a fascinating story to tell about how he started out, his experience of moving to the US and the collegiate system and meeting Camille. Talking to Jody and David, Connor also provides an insight into how he coaches Camille and why he's focused on her becoming the greatest of all time. Oh, and did we mention he's hilarious, too! This is a cracker of an episode - particularly the story about the very first time Camille met Connor. Enjoy!

Tim Shieff is a freerunning champion, Ninja Warrior and former OCR competitor. But it's not necessarily his athletic achievements that always get the headlines. Tim has been on a journey through his life to find the optimal combination of nutrition and lifestyle to complement his activities - which has led him down some unconventional routes. Jody and David discuss this with him before moving onto the subject of veganism - which Tim vehemently rejects having been a prominent vegan for many years. There's actually VEGAN CUT in this episode at 1:33 if you want to skip straight to it or AVOID it completely. This is a long single episode because the guys had recording issues halfway through and Jody wasn't able to join the discussion about veganism. So there is a longer discussion after the interview. And it's not your usual bants. :) Enjoy! If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else. Join the conversation!
