Wed, 05 Feb 2025 07:23:32 GMT

Wed, 20 Mar 2024 15:45:52 GMT

Following on from Flower Scar. We get the big name in first and hear from Bobby Gard-Storry. Myself and sub editor Quiz Alborough ponder if we've got enough to make an epsiode. Tonkin returns and so does his Majesty of Munching on the Moors, A very fast man gives his report in his indomitable style. We learn more about how to run like a Haggis. Training gets specific for the Bob Graham and Rob rounds-up the results!

On The Bob Foot - The James Wynne Wine Win Method, Racing Tips with Andy Blackett, Munching On The Moors, Haggising and Learning Cumbrian

Tue, 05 Mar 2024 16:26:17 GMT

Some critics have claimed that I impersonate top mountain runner's talking to me on my podcast! First of all I wouldn't do such a silly thing. Secondly I don't actually have the talent. All the guests featured on this episode took time out of their busy days to send me well rehearsed voice notes that probably took them hours to rehearse. The fact anyone would suggest some of them are phony is frankly insulting and if accusers want to listen to 'On The Back Foot' then I think they should be donating money to Jacob Tonkin's Benidorm trip!

Talk ranges from honouring races, pronouncing Doni, haircuts, football, painting and decorating, yoga, breathing technique, training consistently and specifically...

I hadn't met Doni before spending Saturday in his company. We went for a long hilly run on a route which he called his 'specific preparation' for Langdale Horseshoe (having had enough of having 'training' throughout his working life) before sitting down to a cuppa and a chat. We were joined by his dog Rusty for the run and you might hear him being petted during the episode (Rusty not Doni)

Tom Beaumont aka Running Ink : S01E02

Tue, 02 Jun 2020 09:59:16 GMT

Jamie, Alistair, Bart and Charlie welcome onto the show this first guinea pig guest for a chat, Mr Tom Beaumont of Totley AC.

His running has sometimes been likened to a Spider on crack. His bald head and beard game is been that strong that he has even been dubbed the Pep Guardiala of Totley Athetic Club.

His Strava routes have their own unique distinctive style that has been coined as Beaumontesque. One year he ran a marathon every month and you have probably heard of none of them. He loves hills. He loves Sheffield and we loved having him as a first guest.

We hope you enjoy what Tom has to say. He’s very down to earth. We wanted to have him on the podcast to hear about what makes him tick and we hope you enjoy hearing from him.
