Let's Get Running Podcast
The world's only running - bus driving crossover podcast! Two failed athletes, Shaun and Jermaine, bring you a weekly dose of running chat. We interview top runners, Olympians, dieticians, coaches, psychologists and sport scientists, bringing you the stories behind their careers and actionable insight to improve your own running. We follow Shaun's hapless attempts to assimilate this advice into his own training, and Jermaine's tales from the front seat of his London bus.
On this week's show we have a run with Kevin McQuaid. We talk about running's impact on Kevin's life and more specifically how 'breath work' has made a significant impact on his running, that of the youngsters he coaches and the lives of children he teaches. Listen in for some practical tips on how you can improve your breathing in the show.
On this week's show, we attempt our first ever remote 'on the run' interview, speaking to Jerry Carey. Jerry's story is a tough one - from abuse and care homes in her childhood to teenage drug and alcohol misuse ending in her falling into an abusive and controlling relationship in her twenties. But Jerry was put in touch with the Running Charity, and running and exercise helped her change her future and build a new life. Jerry's story is one that was featured in the book 'Running Stories: By Runners of All Ages, Speeds and Backgrounds' by Jerry Lockspeiser and Andrew Roberts.
It's been over a year, but Shaun is back. We are rebranding the show - we've been inspired, we miss running and chatting so Shaun will be recording his conversations with inspiring people while he runs. It has the capacity to go completely tits-up but it could be worth a listen too. We want to understand how running and exercise has shaped people's existence, what impact it has on their lives and how they want the 'relationship' to develop. Watch this space for some great interviews
Been a while...Shaun, Robbie and Tom are back for a chat about what's been happening. We tried and failed to cover it all- but we had a nice time talking about it. Robbie talks about Le Jog using a dodgy wifi connection from on high, and Tom talks about the return to domestic racing before being interrupted by Shaun and his tube train licking antics.

The quest to get Shaun's around the Frankfurt Marathon in under 2hours 20mins continues! We talk about his race win at a wet and windy trail race on Dartmoor, and his lack of recovery since then. We also start thinking about race day nutrition and discuss the ketone drink HVMN with elite rower and Research Lead, Brianna Stubbs. Could it prevent Shaun's dicky belly during the race and propel him under the 2.20 barrier?
We also discuss how you can physically join in with the training...if you live in the London area.
