About the Idiots

Idiots Go Running follows normal runners doing slightly abnormal things — from marathon training with a real running coach to a 350-mile Guinness World Record attempt the length of Ireland for MS Runs Ireland. Honest training talk, real mistakes, athlete interviews, and the occasional pile of nutritional jelly.

Idiots Go Running: The Podcast

Two brothers, a running coach, and a rotating cast of crew talk training blocks gone wrong, ultra marathons, race-day chaos and the occasional bit of genuinely good advice. New episodes weekly — honest, unpolished, and recorded by people who take the running seriously and nothing else.
