RUNcensored

World records, Olympic ambitions, controversy and OnlyFans. This week on RUNcensored, there's absolutely no shortage of talking points.

Gary, Ben and Mel Sykes are back online, joined by American Ultrarunning superstar Camille Herron for a brutally honest conversation about her extraordinary career and life away from the running track.

A five-time IAU World Champion, Camille has won the 50km, 100km and 24-hour World Championships, claimed the 2017 Comrades Marathon and become the first woman to break 24 hours at the legendary Spartathlon in 2023. She's also set numerous world records, competed at three US Olympic Marathon Trials and established herself as one of the most accomplished female ultra athletes of her generation.

But we get into much more than running. From the 2024 Wikipedia controversy and the loss of major sponsorship deals to her recent move into OnlyFans as an adult content creator, Camille opens up about the highs, lows and unexpected twists of her career.

We discuss neurodiversity, the pressures of professional sport, public perception, sponsorship and what drives one of ultrarunning's most talked-about personalities.
Nothing is off limits in this one. Expect honesty, strong opinions and plenty of entertainment.

He ended up in intensive care after an Ironman. But that didn’t stop him.

We have been back through our archieve of episodes to select our favourite guests incase you missed it the first time or just want to relive it all!

This week, Gary and Ben sit down with Paul Tierney – former Irish county hurler turned elite ultra-runner, coach, and record-breaker. From the sidelines of team sport to the solitude of the mountains, Paul has carved a life around endurance, coaching, and community – but not without setbacks.

Paul shares how a stint in Australia kickstarted his love for endurance sport, how a brush with death changed his perspective forever, and why a documentary about the Lake District made him pack up his life and move. Now a respected running coach with clients around the world, Paul opens up about the myths of perfect form, the dangers of one-size-fits-all coaching, and why failure has been his best teacher.

We talk coaching, movement quality, social media misinformation, injury recovery, and how to build a strong mind andbody through running – without obsessing over it.

🏑 From county hurling to Ironman
🏥 Surviving hyponatremia and landing in ICU
🏔️ Discovering the Lake District and the Lakeland 100
🧭 Getting lost with no map skills and a second-hand compass

📱 The problem with Instagram advice
🦵 Strength work, ankle stiffness and plyometrics
🩹 Injury, rehab and athlete buy-in

This week the lads welcome ultra runner Rebecca Hormann to RUNcensored.
A former footballer who started running more seriously during COVID, Rebecca has quickly established herself as an outstanding ultra distance performer, although she'll probably be the last person to admit it.
This year she's won Portugal's 200-mile Terra de Gigantes outright, setting a new female course record, and claimed another course record at the mountainous TOR100 by Kailas FUGA in Italy.
But the main focus is her incredible continuous round of the Ethels275 in the Peak District. Rebecca linked all 95 hills, tors and summits in a route covering 290 miles, finishing in 4 days, 11 hours and 44 minutes.
It was a brutal undertaking, with back-to-back storms Austen and Boleo bringing relentless rain, testing underfoot conditions and some serious challenges around eating and keeping moving. Rebecca talks us through the physical and mental demands, the moments when things got difficult and the friends and support crew who helped her get it done.
An honest insight into one hell of an endurance challenge, and the people who make these adventures possible.

He won the English Fell Running Champs. Then he walked away from the sport completely.

We have been back through our archieve of episodes to select our favourite guests incase you missed it the first time or just want to relive it all!

Gary and Ben are joined by Tom Addison — a runner many will remember for dominating the UK fell scene, taking the 2014 national title and chasing England vests throughout his teens and twenties. But this episode isn’t about medals. It’s about what comes after them.

Tom talks openly about the obsession that fuelled his running career, the burnout that followed, and the panic attacks that forced him to step away from the sport he loved. From racing at Wooden Tops as a kid to rebuilding his life through boxing, therapy, and fine furniture making, this is a story of reinvention with no filter.

We talk fell running culture, junior club racing, mental health, identity, and why sometimes walking away is the bravest decision of all.

🎙️ What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

👟 Growing up in a fell running family and club culture
🇬🇧 Earning his first England vest at 15
🏆 Winning the English Champs in 2014 – and what it really cost
😰 The mental and emotional crash that followed
🥊 Boxing, woodworking, and rebuilding structure
🪵 Finding purpose through craft and creativity
👨‍👩‍👧 Family, fatherhood, and a new definition of success

Why You Should Listen:

If you’ve ever tied your identity to your sport, battled burnout, or wondered what’s next after the peak — Tom’s story will hit home. A champion’s journey, with all the pressure and none of the gloss.
