  • 172: What Can We Learn from Elites & Why the Enhanced Games Failed
    May 30 2026

    Andy and Rick are joined by Mark from The Running Channel to break down an extraordinary year for elite running. In April alone, five of the ten fastest men’s marathon times in history were recorded, while this year has also seen a new women’s-only marathon world record and a new indoor 800m World Record. In the trail world, Rachel Entrekin smashed the Cocodona 250 course record by an incredible seven hours.

    Clearly, the elites are getting something right... so what can the rest of us learn from them?

    The team also dives into the catastrophic failure of the Enhanced Games and why, in hindsight, it perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise.

  • 171: Running Alone Is Holding You Back... Here's Why
    May 23 2026

    Running is often seen as a solo sport, but could running alone be limiting your progress and performance?

    Andy, Rick and Sarah explore the scientific evidence showing how running with others can boost performance, increase motivation and improve mental wellbeing. Andy shares insights from his professional running career and Olympic experience, while Sarah explains how joining a running group has transformed both her training and enjoyment of the sport.

    In this episode, we swapped our London studio for a multistory car park in the heart of Buenos Aires, to take part in the On Squad Race Series. Andy, Rick and Sarah immerse themselves in Argentinian running culture, soaking up the energy of the city and the community spirit surrounding the event.
