This week on Idiots Go Running – Part 2 of the madness!

We’re back with the second half of our 100-mile ultra adventure, and the chaos continues…

Colin pushes through the night, somehow stronger after feeling rough early on—powered by grit, Coke, and possibly rage. Meanwhile, Andrew hits peak crew mode by spilling coffee over the spare clothes (classic).

We talk about the long, dark miles, emotional finish lines, and what happens when your legs stop working but your jokes keep going. Matt Knaggs shares his race feedback (brace yourself), and we ask: what’s next? Another 100-miler? Greece? Who knows… we barely knew where we were by the end of this one!

Huge thanks to our podcast sponsor Protein Rebel—keeping us fuelled and belching beet energy the whole way.

This week, Andrew and Colin dive into the madness of their latest 100-mile ultra adventure.

Expect stories of grit, jelly, coffee disasters, and a finish line that felt very far away. Buckle up—this one’s a ride.

Pastries & Coffee In Greece

We did it, baby! 🇬🇷🏃‍♂️

We made it from Marathon to Athens—26.2 miles of pure history, sweat, and a few questionable decisions. This was Andrew’s first marathon, and let’s be honest, the real goal was survival (and snacks).

Along the way, we took in the sights: the legendary Athenian soldier, the stunning Bay of Marathon, and—most importantly—secured a top-tier pastry and coffee stop mid-race. Priorities! ☕🥐

And where did we finish? Only in the Panathenaic Stadium, baby! The birthplace of the modern Olympics, and to top it all off, we bagged an official marathon medal… from the souvenir shop, but that still counts, right? 🏅

From hitting the wall to race-day magic, finding that extra gear to fueling up with caffeine, this episode is a journey through one of the most iconic marathons in the world—with a full dose of Idiots Go Running chaos.

🎧 Tune in to hear how it all went down!

Thanks for being part of the journey—now let’s keep running like idiots! 🏃‍♂️💨
