  • Summary

  • A podcast for people that hate running podcasts.

    Hosted by author, coach and ultrarunner Allie Bailey, Running Won't Save You aims to be the most fun it can be whilst also offering a bit of insight, some proper advice and (sorry about this) some coaching tips in a way that won't make you want to throw your phone in the sea.

    With a weekly rotation of incredible co-hosts including former GB athlete Holly Stables, WMRA expert and decorated ultrarunner Kirsty Reade and tea drinking climate hypocrite Damian Hall, Running Won't Save You is the antidote to the influencer fronted bullshit you might be used to. Gosh there is a LOT of that about, isn't there?

    Each series is loosely based on a theme that carries through all ten episodes, allowing listeners to take action and hopefully create some results for themselves wherever they are in real time. It's an actual helpful podcast because I'm a coach and that's what I do.

    As well as the useful stuff, theres all the usual nonsense that you should be used to with Bailey podcasts, including tales from the hill, light bullying thinly disguised as banter, race reports and briefings plus your listener questions answered by our experts every single week.

    And now...the end is near. It's the last 'normal' episode of Season 1!

    In this episode myself and Damian talk about how to be consistenctly green (spoiler - you can't), how much fun we had in the Village Green and also talk about Damos move from INOV8 to NNormal.

    We are thrilled to be joined by not one but SEVEN of the female Spine competitors on this episode as they drop in to tell us what consistency meant to them on and before their races.

    In addition, Allie and Kirsty chat about the genius of Oliver Burkeman, what really went on in those Spine checkpoints and why you really should Stay on the Bus.

    This week we have a correspondence and coaching special - a little catch up on the questions that you have been sending through to the pod for the wonderful Holly. There is some absolute coaching gold in here, so make sure you save this one and send it everywhere as we cover everything from heart rate to RPE to why we get mega sad after big races. We also have an update from our own experiment Gemma on how her consistency project is progressing and a little reminder to come and see the both of us at the National Running Show next weekend.

    Please send us your questions and conundrums and let us know what you think about consistency via our Instagram (@runningwontsaveyoupod) or on email runningwontsaveyou@gmail.com. We would also love you to leave us a review wherever you get your pods.
