Below is the link you need to take part in the Givestar campaign from our episode sponsor! https://info.givestar.io/marathon2026?utm_source=Runcensored&utm_medium=mix&utm_campaign=givestar+Marathon+2026 We go behind the scenes at the Montane Winter Spine Race. This week we’re joined by Mel Sykes from the media team at The Spine Race to talk about the reality of running and working on one of the toughest ultras in the world. From long days in brutal conditions to the pressure of turning content around quickly, this is the side of races most people never see. We chat about the runners, media and support crews, the growing demand for race content, strange things runners do in ultras, and whether being on camera changes the experience. Plus: audience questions, checkpoint food debates, death threats, and whether Mel would ever run and work on the Spine again at the same event. We also chat about upcoming races like The Fellsman and future Spine plans, including an entry for next year from previous podcast guest Ellis Bland. Raw, honest, and very RUNcensored. #RUNcensored #TheSpineRace #Ultrarunning #TrailRunning #UKRunning #Ultras #Podcast RUNcensored Podcast 🎙 The unfiltered running podcast with Gary House & Ben Mounsey — honest chats with athletes, coaches and characters from the world of running. 🌍 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/runcensoredpod 📩 Get in touch: gary@houserunningclub.com Produced by Chris Davies, Eastwood Media www.eastwood-media.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

The lads break down the gear you actually need for winter runs - like waterproofs, hand warmers, bivy bags, and microspikes - while sharing personal tales of dehydration, navigation mishaps, and racing extremes. And one of them (guess who!) also recounts the unforgettable moment of waking up in an emergency tent full of semi-naked men. If you want real-life trail running advice, survival tips, and laughs along the way, this one’s for you. #trailrunning #ultrarunning #mountainrunning #UKrunning #fellrunning #orienteering #RUNcensored #runningtips #winterrunning #mountainrescue #runningcommunity #ultratrail #adventurerunning #Snowdon #LakeDistrict #YorkshireDales RUNcensored Podcast 🎙 The unfiltered running podcast with Gary House & Ben Mounsey — honest chats with athletes, coaches and characters from the world of running. 🌍 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/runcensoredpod 📩 Get in touch: gary@houserunningclub.com Produced by Chris Davies, Eastwood Media www.eastwood-media.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

    EP59 - From Yellow Stickered Bargains to Upcoming Race Plans - the lads go feral in Chat GBT

    The lads go feral in a full Chat GBT episode of RUNcensored … in fact, Ben is now banned from drinking coffee after 12pm. From Ben’s mobile Nursing Home to Go Karting chaos, yellow sticker bargains, Vinted confessions and wild storytelling, nothing is off limits. We talk New Year’s resolutions (or not), Spar heroics, and upcoming races like Transgrancanaria, Zwift training, orienteering and more. Key questions are answered too: Does Gary still do hairdressing? Who would we love on the pod in 2026? What is Ben's best ever yellow-stickered bargain? And are there any low-key races worth checking out? All the usual RUNcensored nonsense, banter, and very loosely running-related chat. #RUNcensored #RunningPodcast #TrailRunning #UltraRunning #UKRunning #ChatGBT #RunnersUncut #VintedFinds #YellowSticker #RunningCommunity RUNcensored Podcast 🎙 The unfiltered running podcast with Gary House & Ben Mounsey — honest chats with athletes, coaches and characters from the world of running. 🌍 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/runcensoredpod 📩 Get in touch: gary@houserunningclub.com Produced by Chris Davies, Eastwood Media www.eastwood-media.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

    EP58 - From 300 Hats to UTMB Glory | VÅGA

    From making a handful of hats to Tom Evans winning UTMB in a VÅGA cap. In Part 2 with Ellis Bland, we dig into the real story behind VÅGA – how it started, the risks, the mistakes, and the moments that defined the brand. We talk hustling at races, becoming a fabric-first brand, resisting hype culture, and why making bombproof kit for long days out matters. Ellis shares the full UTMB story with Tom Evans, the Red Bull collaboration, and the exclusive news that VAGA is now producing headwear for Red Bull athletes globally. There’s also honest chat about Brexit, international expansion, grassroots athlete support, and staying local while going global. Unfiltered, honest, and very RUNcensored. #RUNcensored #TrailRunning #UltraRunning #VAGA #RunningPodcast #UTMB #UKRunning RUNcensored Podcast 🎙 The unfiltered running podcast with Gary House & Ben Mounsey — honest chats with athletes, coaches and characters from the world of running. 🌍 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/runcensoredpod 📩 Get in touch: gary@houserunningclub.com Produced by Chris Davies, Eastwood Media www.eastwood-media.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
