The RUNcensored crew are back from their break with a brand new episode — and it’s a big one.

Gary, Ben and Chris pick up right where they left off with the usual mix of banter, stories and raw honesty about the world of trail, fell and ultra running.

☕ General chat – The lads ease back in with holiday catch-ups and even a heated debate about coffee machines.

🧭 Ben on orienteering – After Kay from British Orienteering joined the pod earlier this year, listeners have been inspired to try it for themselves. Ben shares his recent experiences at orienteering events and why the sport is such a good crossover for trail runners.

🎬 Events on the horizon – Updates on Quid Games 2 and the Kendal Mountain Festival.

🏔 Gary’s Tor des Géants – Gary takes us through his week in Italy, from supporting friends who were hit by a virus to his own meticulous preparation. He then opens up about how that same virus caught up with him during the 330km race, forcing him to withdraw. The conversation dives into the physical toll, the emotional impact of a DNF, and what comes next.

🌍 World Championships chat – The lads break down the wide range of races on offer this year, from the uphill to the short and long ultras. They ask whether too many options are diluting the fields, talk about prize money, and compare it all to the UTMB.

👟 Athletes and results – Spotlight on Rémi Bonnet, predictions on who might win, Ben reeling off results and finish times, and a frank chat on funding, sponsorship and media coverage.

This one’s got everything: big race talk, personal stories, and the kind of unfiltered banter that makes RUNcensored different.

The Best Bits: Trail Running Fails, Spine Race Stories & Fell Running Heroes | RUNcensored EP40

We’ve hit pause on new recordings this week with both Gary and Ben out of the country – so here’s something special: the very best bits from three of our most talked-about trail running episodes.

First up, Danny Andrews (aka the Fish and a Rice Cake guy) shares his hilarious trail race fail in the Lake District – full kit, full send… and nearly collapsing on the first climb. He also explains why his mum never misses a chance to tell people he’s got six GCSEs.

Next, we revisit Mel Sykes’ unforgettable account of the legendary Spine Race, including what it’s really like to push through 268 miles across the Pennine Way – and why she ended up sleeping on a toilet floor mid-race.

Finally, Tom Addison takes us back to his youth, growing up in the heart of fell running culture, idolising the sport’s big names, and discovering what it means to be part of the UK mountain running scene.

If you’re into trail running, ultramarathons, fell racing or just love hearing raw, unfiltered stories from the sport, this mash-up episode brings the laughs, the grit and the inspiration.

🎧 Featuring highlights from Episodes 22, 23 and 30.
