Inside Jogging Podcast

Team news. With @mattclowesy out and in the process of “getting big” we are back, but with a new co host. Look I know a lot of you only tuned in for Clowesy, but please go easy on @shane.robinson91 who I know will not go easy on @josh_lunn. Shane is a top lad, top runner and founder of @activeedgesportstherapy. He will be sure to bring some valuable insight to the show each week, alongside the moans of @aaronscottruns and the madness that is @josh_lunn @mattclowesy has promised to pop by now and again with a segment or two and who knows he may well be back in the future if this all goes terribly. See you all on Friday, for our bonus sub 2:20 Valencia show with @karl_welborn  Much love, and thanks for the patience. IJP boys xoxo

As you've probably seen from the show length and title, a shorter episode coming at you today. That's because we've taken the decision to take a bit of a hiatus from producing the show and will be coming back stronger in a few weeks time. So it's not a goodbye forever, stay tuned to our socials to find out exactly when we will return. However, we didn't want to leave without a quick update on the past seven days and what we will be up to while we're away. Matt's decided to become a middle distance guy again, so expect to see him in a speedsuit when we return. Josh has been getting a sore gooch thanks to all of his riding, so expect to see him in the Tour de France when we come back. While, Aaron is back running 80 miles a week with a couple of solid sessions, so expect to see him returning to no running as soon as we come back. Stay safe, and we will see you all in a few weeks. Aaron, Matt and Josh x

Episode 54 is here!   Matt and his mates are running over kids on the track, Josh is waking up for a sunrise Swim and Aaron is still running in circles around a cricket pitch.   We will be back with some guests soon, so for now you'll have to make do with us chatting rubbish for an hour or so.   Thanks, Aaron, Matt and Josh.

Episode 53 is here! We talk through some big runs at Manchester 10k, in particular one from our very own Clowesy who is back running fast. Aaron is out in Prague, so Josh takes over the recording duties, but still isn't trusted to be the host. Aaron has spent more of his weekend catching up on sleep than running, while Josh is nursing a poorly achilles. Enjoy, Aaron, Matt and Josh

Episode 52 of Inside Jogging Podcast is here, we almost made it to our first birthday without one of us missing the show, but unfortunately the man who turns 30 on the same day as we turned 1, Joshua Lunn, is absent.   Plenty to chat through in the absence, we'll discuss the results from the Night of the 10000m and what that means in terms of qualification spots.   Aaron has a moan about the Commonwealth Games allocations, Matt talks to us about canals and we both do our best to decipher what Josh has been up to.   Have a good week,   Thanks, Aaron & Matt

Evening all, episode 51 is here!   Hot off the press, we've just had a chat with Ben Pochee from Night of the 10000m PB's, where we preview the event and go back to when it all began!   There's also the usual nonsense from Matt, Aaron and Josh. Matt goes back to the track to knock out some fast 1km reps, while Josh is progressing with his progression runs. Aaron as always has some feable excuse why he couldn't run at the weekend, and the results are in from our most interactive Instagram poll to date.   It turns out more people face away from the shower, so Matt then asks his own shower related questions for you to give further opinion on. Who'd have thought this is a running podcast.   Enjoy and hopefully see some of you down in lane 3 on Saturday evening!   Aaron, Matt and Josh

Episode 50 is here and as always it's a massive one. As we are so late recording we've added in the Bank Holiday racing, so we talk through Ellis Cross taking down Mo Farah, and Eilish's new Scottish 10k road record. Plus, we talk through 5k's from Battersea, Cheshire and Cardiff!   Josh is busy progressing his progression runs, in between attending student nights and work conference trips. Matt continues his build to Manchester 10k with 8 x 1k and 2 x 4k and is the king of consistent splits. While Aaron has a minor blip and skips a few runs as he manages a poorly child with tonsilitis, however there's plenty of cricket pitch running for him to still talk through.   We answer your listener questions about double threshold days, Aaron has a moan about fellow exercises not saying hello, and Matt joins him to rant about people stopping their watch as they cross the line instead of celebrating.   Apologies it is so late, it won't happen again.   Aaron, Matt and Josh        

Episode 49 is here and as always we've got a big show coming at you. There's news from Wrexham marathon and Hamburg, whilst Eilish McColgan has been breaking the British 5k record on the road as part of the Asics Meta Challenge in Malaga.   We check in with Josh to see how his 5k went in Bristol and Matt to see how his pacing went in Wrexham. While Aaron has finally managed to string together seven consecutive days of running ad sits proudly top of the hosts mileage leaderboard.   Have a good week everyone,   Aaron, Matt and Josh

Episode 48 is here! We record on Monday evening after a busy weekend for Matt and Aaron, while Josh has just been sitting around playing video games.   Big announcement from Josh on the show, plus Matt continues his progress towards a sub 30 10km in May, and Aaron finally gets back running - thanks to a little motivation from the jokers over at IRP.   Aaron, Matt and Josh

Episode 47 is here, and as always another big week on its way to you!   Matt is still battling with the achilles but knocks out a swift 10k tempo, Josh has an eventful session at parkrun on Saturday, while Aaron picks up yet another illness.   We're also joined late in the day by Lloyd Kempson for a quick chat previewing the Comeback 5000 on Friday. Lloyd talks to us about why he is involved with the event and what they are trying to achieve with it, as well as talking about his other projects including his coaching company Team Project Run and his work with Nike.   Have an ok week, Aaron, Matt and Josh

Evening all, another big one coming at you. We've gone deep into Manchester marathon today, and try our best to give you a full rundown of what went on in the British European marathon trials and the English commonwealth games marathon trials.   We're joined for a quick chat by Matt Crehan who won last year's race and actually led the race for the first 8 miles or so. He explains why he races that way and why he won't stop doing it any time soon.   Matt and Josh are back doing some sessions and tempo's, while Aaron is encompassed by a world of covid and struggles to get anything meaningful done this week.   Thanks for listening. Have a decent week.   Aaron, Matt and Josh

  Here's episode 45 for you all to enjoy, where Aaron and Matt once again try to establish what makes Josh tick. It's not quite an intervention yet, but it may be coming soon.   Josh and Matt are back on some sessions, while Aaron is back in the Covid recovery phase. One week all three of us might string together a decent week all at once.   We've got some taper chat and a preview of the upcoming Commonwealth Games trials for the marathon in Manchester.   Thanks for your support, Aaron, Matt & Josh

Another big show coming at you as we discuss the World Indoor Champs from Serbia with news of a fantastic bronze medal in the 3000m from Marc Scott.  We've also got an interview with Jess Piasecki who's already had a stellar year, with big PB's in the half marathon where she ran 67:20 to go 4th all time on the rankings list, and then recently running a phenomenal 2:22:25 marathon PB in Seville.  Jess talks all things Seville, the Olympic Games experience and how her injuries in the past now shape the way she trains. Matt is still bronzing himself in Portugal and is busy returning to fitness in sensible way. Same can't be said for Josh who is intent on getting back into some fast running as soon as possible. While Aaron has Covid again

Episode 43 is here, and managed to get Clowesy off the sun lounger to record from Portugal. Aplogies, seems as if Aaron's microphone was a bit off, will sort that out for next week!   We've got an interview with 28:38 man Lucian Allison. Lucian is a man on the rise, who was 4th overall at the rapid Trafford 10k last weekend and who has PB's of 13:57 for 5000 and 64:29 for the half to his name.   His rise has been a rapid one, it was only six years ago that he started any real form of running and was clocking 37 mins for 10k, so enjoy the chat with Lincolnshire's fineset dresser and coffee connoisseur.   All the boys are back running this week and despite Josh not having done more than 5 x 5 mins walk/jog, he insists he would beat Aaron at a 10k right now...   Matt has got some miles under his belt and looks forward to progressing things a notch in the next week. While, Josh has been smashing the hours in the gym, suited head to toe in a Nike tracksuit.   Aaron enjoyed a win on the local running scene and plots out his aims for the next couple of months, now Manchester is fully off the cards.     Aaron, Matt & Josh

Kipchoge and Kosgei show their class in Tokyo, while there's some fast times domestically over 10km in Manchester and some equally fast times over the half in Cambridge.   Josh is yet again on the move and joins us from a train station in London, he talks us through his week of cross training, and updates us on his injury prognosis.   Matt has been counting birds in his garden in between building his latest cross trainer. He is back running again but may have pushed things a little too much.   Aaron is the only one running and has now averaged 85 mpw for the last four weeks. He does both his sessions this week on the treadmill and runs 16 miles home from work, which he describes as one of his top three worst runs ever.   Thanks for the support,   Aaron, Matt and Josh.

Episode 41 is here and there's plenty to discuss, with another national record being broken, a world record being broken in the women's 10k, racing indoors at the UK trials, and action at the various national cross country champs across the UK. We talk sleeping positions this week, why you shouldn't wear pants with your flappies or half tights, and many other pearls of wisdom. While Matt and Josh are still on the come back trail, Aaron is back ending his week after a slow Monday to Wednesday. He does two big sessions in the space of 48 hours, but somehow gets away with an interrogation from the boys. Thanks for your support, and sorry to be recording a day late. Blame Aaron's sister-in-law for having a baby shower. Have an average week Aaron, Matt & Josh

Episode 40 is here! Plenty to recap, and like many of our recent shows there's another record to talk about, as we bring news of a British half marathon record from the UAE. We go deep into some Seville marathon recap, and we are joined live by 2:11:28 man Josh Griffiths fresh from his World championship qualifier! Josh and Matt have spent the week on the eliptical, while Aaron has been mostly running indoors, so we might as well rebrand as Indoors Jogging Podcast. Thanks for the support, Aaron, Matt and Josh

Episode 39 is here and there are records galore in the US. We cover all the latest running news from home and abroad and have the usual segments to chat through.   Josh has an injury scare and will be spending his Valentine's day in a Cardiff gym on the eliptical. His gym attire is questionable, but he pulls some wise words for Aaron out of the bag to help pinpoint where Aaron's injury might have taken place.   So, yes that means Aaron hobbled his way around Stamford 30k at the end of week where I he had been feeling back at his best. All was well until 12km when his glute locked up and forced him to spend the next 18km hating life. He's also not eating meat, but that's mainly because his wife has stopped cooking it.   Clowesy has been doing hour eliptical sessions while catching up on some Netflix series. He doesn't have any spoilers for you this week, but he has ordered a brand new eliptical after his last one couldn't deal with the pounding he was giving it.   Thanks for your support, Aaron, Matt and Josh   

Episode 38 of Inside Jogging Podcast is here, thanks for tuning in for another week, and choosing to spend the next hour or so listening to us, instead of one of the other average running podcasts out there. Quieter week on the running news front, but there's still some results from around the UK and further afield that we will cover, in addition to all the usual segments.   Josh tells Matt to cheer up as he talks us through his eliptical training. Matt questions Aaron on his curry choice. While Aaron and Matt have concerns with Josh's multi-colour footwear and wearing his watch the wrong way around.   Josh does a YouTube vide with the Welsh Runner - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKNr-i2rbs0   It might be shorter, but hopefully you enjoy!   Enjoy your week,   Aaron, Matt, Josh & Ruth

Episode 37 is here, big week coming at you as we talk plenty of running news with action in regional XC's across England, a half marathon in Seville and some indoor action from New York. We've got all the usual segments, Josh has returned from the USA and Clowesy is in a boot!   Once again we begin recording without Josh, who arrives half an hour in and semi-naked. Matt has been eating his weight in Lindor and Aaron has been doing an average job at caring for his poorly child.   Some big mileage weeks from Aaron and Josh, and while Josh has been meeting the who's who of American running, Aaron has been ticking off some virtual mileage in his garage.   Enjoy the interview with 2:14 marathon man, Andy Davies, who races Seville in just three weeks time and is the most down to earth runner there is! Thanks for your support,   Aaron, Matt, Josh & Ruth.

Episode 36 is here! We talk to The Welsh Runner about his recent trip to Kenya and his life as a producer of running content. There are all the usual weekly recaps, we answer four listener questions about marathon training (Josh to our surprise contributes with another solid answer), and Clowesy delivers Weston's wise words about running pain thresholds if you've got red hair. Thanks to COROS wearables for supporting the show again this week, they provide technology to the likes of Eluid Kipchoge, to find out more information head over to uk.coros.com. Josh has had an interrupted week thanks to Covid, and only manages to get in some easy running once he is feeling a bit better. He talks us through his ability to recover from a half marathon and drops an exclusive about his living arrangements for the rest of the year. Matt has some bad news delivered, in the form of four small tears to various parts of his right lower leg. He discusses his week of eliptical training and ponders whether he can make a splint of some sort to allow him to drive to work - pretty sure the discussion offers some options that are legal and safe...   Aaron has recorded the most volume in a long while and tops the mileage this week amongst the hosts. He's spent most of it indoors on his Noble Pro and has been jet setting across the world for his easy runs, much to Clowesy's delight on Strava. He also discusses his first marathon type long run in a long while, which goes far better than he ever expected.   Thanks for listening, have an alright week everyone. Aaron, Matt, Josh and Ruth  

We've got another big show coming at you (156 minutes!), as we tried, and failed, to go live to Houston and get the lowdown on Josh's rapid half. However, we still bring you all our other usual segments and we have an excellent interview with 2:11 man and winner of Berlin marathon in 1985 Jimmy Ashworth. Thanks to COROS for supporting the show again this week!   Josh is AWOL after his half in Houston and busy swanning around mixing it with new American record holders. So, you have to make do with Aaron and Matt for the majority of this week, as they spend a good hour talking about how little running they've been doing.   Matt has a poorly achilles, while Aaron is still moaning about some mystery fatigue that has plagued him for the past 14 months, coincidently the same time as which Eliza (another guest on this week's show) came to town. Edit: Aaron located Josh at 6:30am on Monday morning (Flag time), and has seamlessly dropped him into the episode.   Stay tuned for the end of the show where Ruth and Aaron interview Jimmy Ashworth, as he talks us through 180 mile weeks, eating chip butties and working in a scrapyard between his double days!   Have a good week.   Aaron, Matt, Ruth and Josh (when he turns up)

Big show for you this week as we ponder where we might be in ten years time.    Josh talks us through another big week, with Matt not to happy with how he treated his Wednesday recovery run.   Matt himself has been running 20 miles at 5:15 pace despite the stench of goat shit in the air. He blunders through another Weston's wise words and tells us about his new cross trainer purchase.   Aaron is once again struggling, might as well copy and paste this from the previous 33 episodes. He's bought himself a treadmill which is due to arrive next week, so hopes he turns the corner soon.   Thanks for all your support.   Aaron, Matt and Josh.   For the month of January we have partnered up with COROS Wearables who aim to bring cutting edge technologies to athletes, explorers, and outdoor enthusiasts. COROS have a long standing reputation providing GPS sports watches to some of the best athletes in sport, including Molly Seidel, Tommy Caldwell, and Eliud Kipchoge.   To find out more about COROS head over to uk.coros.com

It's 2022, Happy New Year. Shorter episode coming at you, as everyone we've tried to interview over the last couple of weeks have been busy with this Christmas thing.   It might be short, but it's a good one, as we go through our weeks, which sees Josh taking a bit more flack than the other two as per usual. We also answer some listener questions about goals for the year ahead, we round up the latest news, thank you our patreons, and generally do our thing to create this 80 mins of pure radio gold.   Matt talks us through a nice little weekend 20 miler around his latest Wrexham industrial estate loop, despite having a dodgy achilles.   Josh is up at them again, and in his 115 mile week he enjoyed a day of running 26 miles in 300m circles indoors, as well as a tasty 8 x 1mi session at slightyl lower altitude.   Aaron again finds excuses to not be fully back at the races, and bemoans his lack of energy. Things could be changing though thanks to a breakthrough in Eliza's sleeping habits - the alcohol consumption had to work one day.   Hope you've all enjoyed yourselves over the festive season, and we hope to announce a new patreon series very soon! Thanks for the support (I promise I'll buy Josh some wifi for next week)   Aaron, Matt and Josh

We ask the important questions this week. Yorkshire puddings with your Christmas dinner? Top tier quality street sweets? How many lindor balls did Matt get through? Josh is late to the show again as he's busy finding new friends in Flag. Even if he thinks he is too big time for the other boys, they soon bring him back down to earth with a quick counselling session. With 8 weeks to go until Seville (unless we're locked down again by then), Matt thinks it's probably time to start marathon training. He had his booster jab early in the week that knocked him out for 24 hours, but finished the week with solid session after a few solid sessions around the Christmas dinner table. Aaron is now on cold variant #17653, but despite joking about it being Covid on the pod, he did test negative. He manages to get a couple of runs in early in the week, but not enough mileage which results in him having the lowest yearly mileage amongst the three. Thanks for supporting the show, Happy Christmas and here's to an even better 2022! Aaron, Matt and Josh

In a week that saw Boris ask everyone in the UK to get their Covid vaccine boosters before the New Year, Josh took that as a message to fly halfway across the world to boost his red blood cells with a trip to altitude.   Big week coming at you, with all the usual segments plus an interview with the first British man home in Sapporo, and all round legend of British endurance running, Chris Thompson.   Chris chats through the emotional trial race at Kew Gardens, racing at the Olympic Games and even goes into his training diary to recall a magic week during his build up. What a guy.   Enjoy, and thanks for the support.   Aaron, Josh and Matt.

Big week coming at you as all three of us have been racing in some shape or form this weekend gone. In a week that saw Lewis Hamilton lose his F1 title on the final lap to Max Verstappen, Matt Clowes also saw victory slip away in the final few hundred metres of his 10k in Telford, thanks to his old wheels having too much degradation in them compared to his young rivals.   We've got the European XC champs to talk through, Josh and Matt have been racing in Telford, Aaron's ran a questionable half in Milton Keynes, and we've got all the usual segments, plus a new one which Clowesy unveils live on show.   Apologies that we recorded a day late, Josh is preparing for his flight across the pond and wasn't back until late Sunday night, by which time Matt was already in bed and Aaron was on childcare duties.   If anyone did our session from social last week then please do let us know!   Have an average one,   Aaron, Matt & Josh

In a week where a mystery man arrived at A&E in Gloucester with a world war two shell stuck up his bottom, Josh also dropped a few bombs of his own, in the form of Jaeger during his Christmas party in Cardiff. Josh had a solid week of training, but ruined his session on Saturday with a few too many Rose flavoured Tequila shots on Friday evening. He's late to the pod again, thanks to being stuck on another train back from Cardiff, all because he's sold his car to fund his new pro lifestyle. Matt has been feeling the fatigue after his 28:58 10k and has a few things to say about the great British weather. He has a live whatsapp from Dan Weston who lets us all know why the sun appears to look the same size as the Sun when looking at them both from Earth. Aaron doesn't start his training week until the Tuesday evening after a few busy days in the office, but recaps another couple of grass sessions ahead of his half in MK next week. He also details a trip to a brothel after his Frankfurt marathon PB in 2018. We've tagged on the most recent episode of training talk with Jake Smith, which gets released every Tuesday on Patreon, so enjoy! Thanks for the support. Aaron, Matt & Josh 

Welcome to Episode 28 of Inside Jogging Podcast, it's a big one!   Plenty to crack through, we discuss plenty of miles in our training weeks, we thank our patreons, go to some listener questions and cover the latest news including results at the European XC trials in Liverpool, and some moaning about the lack of coverage.   Matt has been casually dropping a 28 minute 10k on the roads in Wilmslow. He talks through his interest in bitcoin and stumbles over some tricky names. Josh is boarding a train back to Peterborough but whilst sheltering from the public in the toilet, he admits to watching Ariana Grande videos in his spare time. Aaron is back nearly hitting 100 miles for the week, but like Matt has been struggling with his general athleticism. He's not sure if his thick tash and speedos was the correct choice for swimming with Eliza and the other mums on Thursday.   We've also got an interview with 2:29 marathoner and 15th place finisher at London Marathon Rose Harvey!   Have a good week, Aaron, Matt and Josh xoxo

In a week that's seen parts of Europe heading back into lockdown, Matt has also had Josh locked down on an enforced rest week.  Matt's been feeling the dreaded winter fatigue and is struggling a bit for motivation, but still manages to knock out a swift little session on the weekend. Aaron's been running more this week than he has for a long time, although his Sunday is hampered somewhat by childcare issues. While Josh is adamant that he feels worse off an 80 mile week than he does a 120 mile week, be sure to stay tuned for scientific insights into his training... We'll do the usual and talk through our weeks and see whether Josh has obeyed the draconian measures. We'll also thank some patrons, answer some listener questions, discuss what's been happening in the world of running in the past 7 days, and then we've got an interview with the 3rd fastest British female marathon runner of all time, Charlotte Purdue. Have an average week, Aaron, Matt and Josh xoxo

Big week to crack through on our 6 month birthday, as we go through our weeks, look at the Strava leaderboard, there's a big announcement on how you can support the show, we answer some listener questions, go into the latest running news and after all of that have a brilliant interview with the host of Inside Running Podcast, Brady Threlfall.   In a week that's seen our leaders talk about reducing carbon emissions, Josh has upped his carbon footprint with a few fast laps in his Next %s around Battersea. He's been smashing a couple of sessions out the park, stay tuned to see if Clowesy is pleased with this, or whether he's concerned that he's pushing too soon.   Matt's been knocking out some super quick reps around the Wrexham industrial estate loops, and also been getting lost in London. He gets so lost this week that he has to get a cable car over the Thames to get him back to his original destination.   Aaron's had a ticking off by a man who paints the lines at the cricket pitch, but his training is back on the up. Eliza still isn't sleeping through the night, but thanks to some advice from Matt, he might start mixing the milk bottle with a bit of Bailey's to keep her going through the night.   Have a great week legends, Aaron, Matt and Josh

Another quicker show this week, as Josh has been racing in Reading, Aaron is a busy man trying to look after his daughter and Matt is selling something somewhere. We do our usual weekly recaps, talk through New York and Barcelona marathons and recap some domestic results.

Quiet one for once this week, as not much running news to go off. We discuss our training weeks, answer some listener questions, and Aaron gets regularly interrupted by trick or treaters.

Another big week coming at you, as there's been a marathon in Rotterdam, a big 10k in Leeds and a world record over the half in Valencia. We answer some listener questions, discuss our training weeks and then we've got an excellent interview with Becky Briggs, who posted the second fastest u23 UK marathon of all time at London a couple of weeks ago. Matt just about makes the podcast this week as he's a busy guy. His image is put to good use on the front of the Newport 10k t-shirts and he's been busy battling the drizzle of Wales. He's not entirely sure what a stiff breeze is, maybe he should come to the fens to experience it. Josh is up and at it, now he's put his computer controller away he's even more unbearable than before. He talks us through tempo runs in the dark and why everyone should run hard on easy runs. His calves are looking in good shape, and he talks Clowesy through how to do isometric holds. Aaron is back and finally hit a 100km week, he's even been hitting the gym with Josh. If ever you want to see a pathetic sight then it's well worth watching some content of Aaron and Josh lifting. He's gearing up for a big weekend ahead of Eliza's 1st birthday, when he won't be giving her a bottle of JD despite Clowesy's recommendation. Have a middle of the road week, listeners xoxo

Big week coming at you as we talk to the new King of London and 2:12 man, Phil Sesemann. We chat about his build up, what it was like on race day, plus get the scoop on his big new sponsorship deal with dog food brand Skinners. Matt has been getting stuck into some sewing this week, trying to repair a coat or something along those lines. He's already back knocking out sub 5 minute pace tempos, that's despite consuming a Lindor ball or two a day. Josh is back in Peterborough and completed his first week of running post marathon. He's on a mission to get hench this winter, so has been frequenting a friends local gym, but worrying has been doing his exercises in just a pair of lycra shorts and a pair of Invicibles. Aaron is also on the road to recovery and completed a week of over 50 miles at an average of sub 7s! He's delighted to have Josh back in town, but is worried that Josh is in fact the mystery fly tipper of Wrexham and brought his dirty habit across the country with him. There's the usual listener questions and news roundups, where the boys divert onto many tangents, such as how long to moths coccoon for? Have a terrible week, people. IJP

Back again, with a shorter show for once as all three of us are still in recovery mode for one reason or another. I think this is the lowest ever combined mileage training week, so instead we recap the marathon in Manchester, Chicago and Boston and answer some listener questions. Josh Lunn must have the sorest thumbs in Britain from all the DM'ing he's been doing since the great social media blackout, and after his many London marathon posts. He once again got locked out of his flat this week and now thinks he's a master in breaking and entering. He also discusses his diet this week and gets into trouble with Matt for his unscheduled gym work. Matt Clowes is adjusting back to the running life after 9 days off running, he ponders why there's so much toilet roll in lay-by's and has been busy blagging himself a new job. He also delights Aaron by admitting he does love cats after all, with a particular shining to little Suzie. Aaron Scott has been on a stag do in Newcastle and once again failed to complete a week of running. He performed poorly in the beer mile, but thinks maybe the alcohol related events might have helped kickstart is Seville marathon training block.  Right, that's what we've got, we will be doing some guest interviews this week, so stay tuned for some more interesting content soon. Love you lots, IJP.

Big week coming at you as we get a full race debrief from Josh Lunn after his little jog around the streets of London. His 14th place finish at London means he has the highest place finish at a marathon major amongst the other hosts, so he is now officially king of the pod... well for a few months anyway. Just before we went to record, the world has imploded, with WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram all going down. So we won't be able to promote this show much yet, other than pushing it out on iTunes, Spotify, and all other podcast platforms. For now then, that'll do. I'll post more when the social networks return, and Josh can get back DM'ing.

Episode 19 is here, day later than usual as we let Matt come off his IV drip and recover a little before interrogating him.   As you might have seen, things didn't go quite to plan for Matthew Clowes in Berlin, who like many others struggled in the humidity. Matt discusses his race in detail and despite being disappointed with the outcome is still thankfully in one piece. Look, he's still our hero and that final 2.2k of his shows the depths he can go to when the going gets tough.   Josh Lunn manages to irritate Matt more than that 35-40k of his marathon did, as Josh tells us how he has been up late playing his silly games and wants to start doing yoga during his final week of the taper.   Aaron Scott is on the mend, and nearly hits 50 miles for the week. He's seen the doc this week, who has given the green light to continue training at a low intensity, so is ready to start planning for Seville marathon in February.   Thanks for downloading people, and remember when the going gets tough, drink some Maurten. 

Episode 18 is live, and we talk through all the important topics of the week, such as how you pronounce brands such as Bose and Ritter Sport (other electronic and confectionary brands are available). We also go deep into our milk preferences, so if you want to learn some valuable insights into Josh's ‘intolerances' then you won't want to miss this show. Matt's fully into his taper now and wonders why the people of Wrexham are so keen on Fosters. We learn about his chocolate intake per week (basically a lot of Lindor balls), and we link his taper into listener questions this week, so go through all your race week taper queries. Josh has been racing again in Swansea, he talks us through his hair dye colour of choice, his thoughts on full tracksuit runs and learn the revelation that he has never had a kebab before. Josh spends the show doing a range of weird stretches, much to the distraction of the others, so apologies for the bad radio it produces. Aaron's had a poorly daughter this week, so on Matt's advice is considering reducing her alcohol intake to singles moving forwards. He's been up to watch the Northern Road Relays in Redcar, done a little bit of running and is keen to kick start his running career again now he's feeling a bit more normal. Enjoy the show, people, and have a bang average week.

Episode 17 is here and it's a big one as we finally catch up with John Beattie and talk all things Great North Run. Josh has been practicing his marathon effort in Newcastle, but got very distracted by the big boys lining up. He spent more time fangirling Stewy McSweyn than he did playing his silly games on the computer this weekend, which says it all. Matt finished off his last big week of training with two quality sessions, but more importantly he fills us in on his review of a flat white in a can, in addition to updating us on his fruit harvest this week. Matt puts out an appeal for people to grow up and stop using acronymns in text and in life... FML he is hardwork. Aaron has had a bit more discussion with the GP's on his health issues, but helps read out Josh's week of training, due to Josh being in the car whilst recording. He is not best pleased with Josh still wearing spikes on the track for his marathon sessions, but the question is, will Josh ever take note? Thank you for all your 5 star reviews last week, feel free to comment a review too if you get two minutes spare and can think of anything useful. All of this will help us reach even more people, which should help us be able to bring you more great content ideas we have such as the tales of the farmers dog, or soiled pants weekly.  On that note, we'd love it if you tag fellow runners when we post out this show on social, if you don't that's of course your choice, but what I will say is that i'll think much less of you as a person. We haven't quite come up with the right idea for thanking our listeners just yet, as Clowesy is too busy to provide home delivery of his fruit produce, so drop us a message if you have any ideas, maybe some merch or a spot in Josh's computer game team.

The Juggernaut keeps rolling, as Matthew Clowes completes the "Grand Slam" of Wrexham with a win at the Village Bakery Half Marathon (Run Cheshire). Excellent talk from Matt this week, as he details why Costa Coffee makes such a bad flat white, and pushes for a sponsorship deal from Lindt in discussing his love for Lindors.   Josh Lunn has been trying to put his bad experience in Antrim behind him as he pushes out another 100 mile plus week in his build up to London Marathon. He discusses his ability to relieve himself effectively during sessions, and gets dropped by Dan Osborn-Nash on his weekend 24 miler. He might be off to Barcelona for a romantic weekend with his Bowerman Track Club boys, he's so big time...   While Aaron Scott is still struggling, maybe it's time to just put him down.   We answer a whole host of listener questions, giving poor insight into topics such as who is the @stravawanker, Dan your secret is safe with us, mate.   Have an average week, people. Keep that heart rate low, and give us a 5 star review on iTunes.

This week we talk through Josh's trip over to Northern Ireland for Antrim half, Aaron's update on his lack of running, and Matt as he goes big in his buildup for Berlin.  Apologies for recording this show a couple of days late, at the end of the day we're all blue collar boys on this pod, well Matt maybe is, and had some very busy bank holiday weekend. Have a good rest of the week, people.

We're back again and we've got an action packed show this week, as Clowesy speeds around the streets of London and cements his status as the king of the podcast.  Josh has been smashing the miles and he's hit 200km in his last 7 days, which sounds a bit better than 124 miles in the last 7 days.  We dial into Jake Smith fresh off his race victory at the Big Half and ask whether he needs a trip to Specsavers, as he resorted to asking strangers how far he had to go, instead of using any one of the massive markers by the side of the road. We've got a listener question to tackle, round up some other results from the week, and then call our guest for the week, 28:32 10k man and 2010 commonwealth games representative, John Beattie. 

Shorter week again, as Aaron has been very poorly and wasn't able to do the extensive prep that we always do. Interviews will commence again from next week, but for this week you'll have to do with just us. Josh and Matt have had a romantic weekend away at the England Athletics marathon camp, and recap their training weeks. There's been the announcement of elite fields at London, which feature our very own Josh Lunn, and we run throught the list of who Josh will be spending 2 hours studying the backside of. Apologies for the delay in uploading, and please send your messages of love and encouragement to Aaron on social media. Man flu is a very real issue and should be discussed more openly. Thanks for listening, share it please, and have a terrible week.

The Olympics has come and gone, and it's been a hectic week trying to catch the action, whilst trying to get some sleep and still putting in the miles. We do the usual and talk through our weeks, catch up on the best of the Olympic action, take some listener questions and generally talk rubbish. Josh has been busy moving house, although it's debateable he actually did anything, and assures us tiredness and a lack of energy are two separate things. Big session of 16 x 1 mile in the books this week for Josh with his new best friend "the Nasher". Matt has been midweek long running, knocking out 20+ miles before most of us have even woken up. He's got a niggling achilles still, but at least he knows where his achilles is... unlike some people. He also discusses the farmers dog on the 2 mile Redwick loop, be sure to listen in to find out what he named it. Aaron has finally managed a half decent week of training, thanks to two long runs on coaching duties. He tried out a new long run session on Saturday and is keen to get Matt's thoughts on it. Plus, he's still busy trying to work out which marathon he should run this Autumn. Give it a listen, give us a review, send us your feedback, and share the pod! Have a beautiful week, people.

Episode 11 is here, as the Olympics gets under way, so does the boys marathon prep. Download all good podcast providers, and some terrible ones too - https://linktr.ee/insidejoggingpodcast   Matt has been dropping some outrageous marathon sessions this week, completing a 12 mile session in under an hour. He wants to start a campaign to clear up the UK footpaths, and gives us his thoughts on finding soiled pants out in the middle of nowhere on his runs.   Josh thinks he's in 2:13 shape again and is bullish about his philosphies on training, despite pressure from Aaron to change his ways. He's nine weeks out from London and has hit his first 100 mile week of the training block.   Aaron has had another week of not doing much, but promises to get back into the swing of things next week. He's been busy betting on the Olympics, in the hope he wins big and can put Eliza through life. He lets Matt know why cereal was invented, and is want an IRP v IJP marathon smackdown.     Thanks for downloading people, keep sharing the pod, and as always have an average week!

Episode 10 is here, an Olympic special featuring Ross Murray, download on all platforms, link is here - https://linktr.ee/insidejoggingpodcast   Big episode coming your way as we chat to Ross Murray about his 2012 Olympic experience and get some insight into what it will be like for the athletes in Tokyo. Athletics kicks off on Friday, so make sure you get those distance events in your diary.   Another week, another win for Matthew Clowes as he takes the W at Helena Tipping 10k in Wrexham. He talks us through his hate for footpaths, and ponders why there are naked people in fields at 6:30 in the morning...   Josh Lunn has been nursing his achilles/calf/foot/leg/body injury, but seems to be on the mend. He's been at a wedding this week and shocks the boys with his evening wear attire.   While Aaron has decided against London and is busy trying to source an alternative marathon this Autumn. Valencia seemed the best bet, but that's proving difficult, so if anyone fancies helping him find a marathon then send us a DM!   Parkrun is back, we answer some listener questions and round up the results. Thanks for downloading people, keep sharing the pod, and as always have an average week!

Episode 9 is here, download on all platforms, link is here - https://linktr.ee/insidejoggingpodcast   Shorter show heading your way this week, as the interview I have lined up is still pending. Quieter week in terms of results, but there's action on the roads to catch up with and we discuss the Soar MK 5k PB special. It turns out there was an England champs on the track too this weekend, not that any of us (or a lot of athletes) knew about it! The boys discuss all things running and meteorology, which according to Josh and Clowesy is the study of Meteors...   Josh Lunn is not best pleased about reporting for co-hosting duties a few hours earlier than scheduled, and being pulled out of one of his Gameboy games. His achilles seems to be on the mend, but his HR got very elevated on Sunday, maybe because it's well hot... might be too hot... might be.   Matthew Clowes is back taking W's on the local road racing scene, with a hilly victory at the Nick Beer 10k in Llandudno (no-one on the pod is pronouncing it correctly, so apologies real Welsh people). His build up to Berlin is getting serious, but his build up to raspberry season might be reaching a peak too.   Aaron Scott has had it with social media, and can't get his head around the toxicity on some of these platforms these days. He's had a big weekend of training to make up for some of the rubbish days during the week and is busy doing lateral flow tests, to check he's not contracted COVID during any sessions this week. Just to note, Inside Jogging Podcast is part of a government pilot scheme, where by the hosts don't need to self isolate, and can test themselves every day instead.   Don't be shy, send us in your comments, feedback and reviews and we might give you a shout out on a future show. In the mean time, have an average week and we will be back next Monday. The next one will *definitely/maybe* include an interview, so stay tune for next week.

Episode 8 is here, download on all platforms, link is here - https://linktr.ee/insidejoggingpodcast   With my day ruined yesterday by penalties on Sunday, we recorded a day later than usual. Big week in British running as Bird & Muir set records in Monaco, the U23's were in action at the Euro Championships in Tallinn and 10000m English champs are crowned at FastFriday (which Josh Lunn was absent from). Huge week in English football too, but I'm not prepared to talk about yet. Josh Lunn professionally announced his injury for the fans on Instagram, and was a DNS for Fast Friday 10,000m (another DNS for the Inside Jogging Podcast team...). He's been busy not running, but we don't think he's entirely sure that he knows what his achilles is. He's also not the happiest this week, so its a cheery show for you all! Matthew Clowes kicked off his week with a 4:45am run, and has been out on his travels again. Only one brief hotel review this week, but has a nice downhill tempo and a beautifully consistent long run session to talk about. He's happier than the other two, and talks us through a work morning that involves decapitated heads.   Aaron Scott is depressed, but tries to put on a brave face, after all it's only another 55 years to wait until the next one. He has had an up and down week, but finished it off with a half decent tempo on Friday and a solid long run with the boys on Sunday. He's not happy about the UK footpath scene, and is considering writing into the local councils with his complaints.   Don't be shy, send us in your comments, feedback and reviews and we might give you a shout out on a future show. In the mean time, have an average week and we will be back on track with a show next Monday. The next one will include a big interview, as we finally get our lives back on track and organise this thing!

Episode 7 is here, download on all platforms, link is here - https://linktr.ee/insidejoggingpodcast   A quieter week in terms of results this week, but the Olympic Team is out and British Athletics couldn't resist being controversial, leaving out Mark Pearce depsite making the cut based on the rankings.   Matthew Clowes is back being the big dog (even if he misses the first 5 mins of the show), with three quality sessions banked last week. No tractors were in his way on his Friday tempo, and he knocked out 8 miles under 5 min pace. No hotel reviews neither, and he's not entirely sure whether Wrexham is in the West...   Josh Lunn has been doing track sessions while England play Germany, much to Aaron's annoyance. His week is cut short by an achilles niggle, maybe he shouldn't be pushing the pace targets Clowesy has been giving him. He's also Pfizered out, and wants some sympathy, which none of us are willing to give him.   Aaron Scott is on the road to recovery, but lost a lot of sleep time this weekend looking for his cat, and celebrating England's victory in the pub. He has been causing a stir on Strava with some generous GPS, but promises from next week the cricket pitch sessions will be no more.    Keep sending us your comments (positive only), and pass the pod far and wide. We hope you have an average week, it's coming home!

Episode 6 is here, download on all platforms, link is here - https://linktr.ee/insidejoggingpodcast   Another big show coming your way this week, we've got an interview with Sapporo-bound Kevin Seaward, alongside his coach Andy Hobdell, where we talk in depth about the marathon build up and key sessions along the way. It's a cracking interview so you can always skip our terrible chat and go straight to this instead!   I don't blame it if you missed it, considering how terrible our governing body is at marketing the sport, but the British Olympic trials have been on this weekend and we round up the winners and losers on what has been a huge weekend for British athletes.   Matthew Clowes has been given the all clear by the doc, and is back on track for Berlin. He's spent the week at home for once, and has been dodging tractors on tempo runs.   Josh Lunn manages to get to the show on time for once, but his new hair is questionable to say the least. We get some valuable insight into his reasoning behind the look, as well as hearing why he's spent the day at work doing litter picking around Cardiff.   Aaron Scott is now taking any pills he can get his hands on to resolve his low iron issues. He talks about his big fat DNF in Leeds, and his plans to take it easy for a few weeks.   What you waiting for, listen in. We hope you have an average week, guys.
