    EP72 - Mel Sykes returns to share all about Ultra Trail Snowdonia by UTMB

    Rule no.1 of RUNcensored Club - we don’t do podcasts on Zoom. Rule no.2 of RUNcensored Club - we definitely don’t do podcasts on Zoom. Well… this week we broke the rules. The lads have been out in Chamonix filming their own version of the Circle Pit with Satisfy, and rather than leave you hanging another week, we’ve patched together a remote episode to celebrate one thing we couldn’t ignore - Mel Sykes absolutely smashing it at UTS. Mel returns to the pod to talk through one of the biggest performances of her running career and how it earned her a place on the CCC start line in Chamonix. The weather, the conditions, the suffering, the highs, the lows and the weird emotional rollercoaster that ultra running seems to drag all of us through eventually. We also touch on missing Quid Games in Keswick, throw together a very loose “Top 3”, rather than a “Top 5”, because standards have clearly slipped, and generally chat the usual amount of nonsense along the way. Audio quality? Slightly dodgy. Running chat? Still elite. If you’ve ever doubted yourself before a big goal… this one will hit home.

    EP70 - Are £40 Lidl carbon running shoes any good?

    Cheap carbon shoes, influencer trends, and some properly unfiltered running opinions. Gary and Ben are back with another mixed bag episode covering everything from Ben’s public apology over a missed yellow sticker bargain to the rise of budget carbon-plated running shoes and whether they’re actually worth it. They chat about Jimmy Gressier’s latest European 5K record, the growing competition in the super shoe market, and why they’re still sceptical about £40 “performance” options from Lidl. There’s also discussion around influencer culture in running, smart (and not so smart) race hacks, and the balance between cost and quality when it comes to kit. The ChatGBT segment dives into the BPN Backyard Ultra, the debate around women in ultra running, plus listener questions on training, plyometrics, and the maddest kit they’ve seen out on the trails. The episode finishes with Gary and Ben picking their top 5 RUNcensored episodes so far, featuring some standout guests from the podcast’s history. Raw, honest, and very much off-script. #RUNcensored #TrailRunning #Ultrarunning #RunningPodcast #CarbonPlates #RunningShoes #Lidl #BackyardUltra #UKRunning #JimmyGressier 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.

    EP69 - Inside The Fellsman: Britain’s Most Historic Trail Running Ultra?

    Fresh off the back of the Fellsman Ultra, Gary and Ben are joined by friend of the podcast Rich Lazenby for a very tired, slightly broken, and heavily sleep-deprived episode. The lads dive into what makes the Fellsman one of the UK’s most iconic ultra distance trail running events: brutal heat across the Yorkshire Dales, military-level Scout organisation, incredible checkpoint support, navigation decisions, cramp, fatigue, and the unique atmosphere that keeps runners coming back year after year. There’s also the usual nonsense along the way including empty Spar shelves, missing San Pellegrino and accusations that producer Chris Davies is avoiding the pod because of football results. Ben also found an old, dishelleved carrot in the back of the fridge that looks (and probably feels) just like Gary right now. A proper post-race debrief from one of Britain’s most historic ultras. #RUNcensored #Fellsman #Ultrarunning #TrailRunning #UltraMarathon #YorkshireDales #FellRunning #SportsShoes #YETI #RunningPodcast 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.

    EP68 - Community Over Competition? SheUltra™ & Real Running Talk

    It starts with football, drifts into OAP care duties, and somehow lands on one of the most important trail events in the UK right now. Gary and Ben chat Fellsman prep, crewing plans, and then get stuck into SheUltra™ in North Wales - nearly 2,500 women, brutal conditions and a proper community-first approach to racing. No ego, no obsession with times, just people showing up for something bigger. Along the way there’s Spar reviews, Wetherspoons action, and a look at the recent RunThrough Lake District Ultra which served as a selection race for the middle-distance GB team. Unfiltered running chat. As always. #running #trailrunning #ultrarunning #SheUltra #Fellsman #RunThrough #UKRunning #runningpodcast #trailcommunity #ultrarunners #fellrunning #RUNcensored 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.

    EP67 - London Marathon Scandal and Top 5 Sports Docs you need to watch

    Another Chat GBT episode - where the listeners ask the questions and Gary and Ben take it wherever it goes. From early chat about weather, Covid and Gary’s obsession with sniffing freshly made wooden gates, things eventually get into running - including a proper discussion around the TCS London Marathon potentially moving to a two-day format and what that means for the sport. Listener questions cover the Leeds United running kit, thoughts on brand collaborations, whether RUNcensored would ever do one, and a push to get Hannah Cox from Project Salt Run on the podcast. Gary also gives an update on his Fellsman training, and the lads share which running Instagram accounts they actually enjoy following. The episode finishes with the TOP 5 feature - this week focusing on the best running and ultra-related YouTube videos and documentaries (with a few curveballs thrown in). Looking ahead, RUNcensored Live heads to Oswestry on 17th April, and both Gary and Ben will be at She Ultra on 11th April, organised by Huw Williams - with Gary on socials and Ben bringing the Barnsley Briefcase. #runningpodcast #runcensored #trailrunning #ultrarunning #londonmarathon #fellsman #ukrunning #runcommunity #runningculture #sheultra 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.

    EP66 - Ourea Events Collapse, Roadkill Kebabs & Trail Running Talk

    A proper mixed bag this week - from trail running headlines to full-on orienteering chaos in Edinburgh, plus a look behind the curtain at brand-led running trips. Gary and Ben chat through some of the latest stories, including a bizarre Strava incident involving a French aircraft carrier heading to Iran and a standout canicross 5K world record. There’s also a measured look at recent developments around Ourea Events and what it could mean for races like the Northern Traverse, with early signs of runners already heading back out on the route thanks to James Elson stepping in. Then it’s onto the Old Town Showdown in Edinburgh, presented by SportsShoes' Quid Games and British Orienteering. Expect fast decisions, chaotic racing, clever course design from Edinburgh University Orienteering Club, and a rapid 30-minute winning run from Finley Todd. There’s chat around local advantage, prize strategy, and the unique atmosphere these events create, plus a few hints about what might be coming next Ben also shares his experience testing the Mizuno Neo Accera in Gran Canaria and gives his take on modern trail shoe tech and brand launch events. Real talk, real running, no filter. #running #trailrunning #ultrarunning #orienteering #quidgames #northerntraverse #ukrunning #mizuno #trailshoes #runningpodcast 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.

    EP65 – Nasal Strips, Dirty Runners & VK Training | Chat GBT Running Q&A

    How dirty is too dirty after a race? And would you really go straight from a fell run to a wedding without showering? In this Chat GBT episode (Gary Ben Trails), we answer your questions - from whether performance nasal strips actually work, to wearing new shoes straight out of the box, and what it really takes to train for VKs (Vertical Kilometre races). It quickly descends into some properly grim stories from the trail and fell running world - including fell runner James Logue’s infamous towel that’s somehow survived decades without seeing a wash. We also get into running icks, Ben’s chaotic messaging habits across every platform going, apps beyond Strava like MapRun and Navi Tabi, and finish with a Top 5 guilty pleasures in running list that gets weird fast. Unfiltered, honest, and exactly what you’ve come to expect from RUNcensored. #running #trailrunning #fellrunning #ultrarunning #podcast #runningcommunity #VKtraining #Strava #MapRun #NaviTabi #RUNcensored 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.
