    Welcome to the running podcast where three mates from Birmingham swap miles for mics and share more than just blisters! Ben Blakeman, Jake Ramsey and Mike Duffy, a trio at very different points on their running journeys, but all equally skilled at dodging training plans and telling a good story. Watch as Ben, Mike, and friend of the podcast Tom take on the mighty Coventry ParkRun. Ben’s job? Play drill sergeant/pacer for Tom’s hunt for a shiny new PB. Mike’s role? See if his legs still remember how to run after that half marathon… or if they’ve officially filed for retirement. Tune in to hear how the lads got on. (Spoiler, there’s sweat, questionable pacing decisions and maybe even glory.

  • Chasing The Finish Running Podcast Episode 10 | Solihull 5k & Half Marathon Chat

    Chasing The Finish Running Podcast Episode 10 | Solihull 5k & Half Marathon Chat
    Aug 14 2025
    Welcome to the running podcast where three mates from Birmingham swap miles for mics and share more than just blisters! Ben Blakeman, Jake Ramsey and Mike Duffy, a trio at very different points on their running journeys, but all equally skilled at dodging training plans and telling a good story. This week's episode is packed with drama, sweat and just a hint of chafing. We've got all the tales from the Solihull 5k & Half Marathon where Jake smashed his debut 5k, and Mike heroically survived (sorry, completed!) his very first half marathon. Meanwhile, Ben's booked himself a trail event because apparently running on flat ground was too easy, and the lads debut a brand new game. Will Mike redeem himself, or will it be another glorious shambles? Tune in and find out.
