RUNcensored

Cheap carbon shoes, influencer trends, and some properly unfiltered running opinions.
Gary and Ben are back with another mixed bag episode covering everything from Ben’s public apology over a missed yellow sticker bargain to the rise of budget carbon-plated running shoes and whether they’re actually worth it.
They chat about Jimmy Gressier’s latest European 5K record, the growing competition in the super shoe market, and why they’re still sceptical about £40 “performance” options from Lidl. There’s also discussion around influencer culture in running, smart (and not so smart) race hacks, and the balance between cost and quality when it comes to kit.
The ChatGBT segment dives into the BPN Backyard Ultra, the debate around women in ultra running, plus listener questions on training, plyometrics, and the maddest kit they’ve seen out on the trails.
The episode finishes with Gary and Ben picking their top 5 RUNcensored episodes so far, featuring some standout guests from the podcast’s history.
Raw, honest, and very much off-script.

Fresh off the back of the Fellsman Ultra, Gary and Ben are joined by friend of the podcast Rich Lazenby for a very tired, slightly broken, and heavily sleep-deprived episode.

The lads dive into what makes the Fellsman one of the UK’s most iconic ultra distance trail running events: brutal heat across the Yorkshire Dales, military-level Scout organisation, incredible checkpoint support, navigation decisions, cramp, fatigue, and the unique atmosphere that keeps runners coming back year after year.

There’s also the usual nonsense along the way including empty Spar shelves, missing San Pellegrino and accusations that producer Chris Davies is avoiding the pod because of football results.
Ben also found an old, dishelleved carrot in the back of the fridge that looks (and probably feels) just like Gary right now.

A proper post-race debrief from one of Britain’s most historic ultras.

It starts with football, drifts into OAP care duties, and somehow lands on one of the most important trail events in the UK right now.

Gary and Ben chat Fellsman prep, crewing plans, and then get stuck into SheUltra™ in North Wales - nearly 2,500 women, brutal conditions and a proper community-first approach to racing. No ego, no obsession with times, just people showing up for something bigger.

Along the way there’s Spar reviews, Wetherspoons action, and a look at the recent RunThrough Lake District Ultra which served as a selection race for the middle-distance GB team.

Unfiltered running chat. As always.

Another Chat GBT episode - where the listeners ask the questions and Gary and Ben take it wherever it goes.
From early chat about weather, Covid and Gary’s obsession with sniffing freshly made wooden gates, things eventually get into running - including a proper discussion around the TCS London Marathon potentially moving to a two-day format and what that means for the sport.
Listener questions cover the Leeds United running kit, thoughts on brand collaborations, whether RUNcensored would ever do one, and a push to get Hannah Cox from Project Salt Run on the podcast.
Gary also gives an update on his Fellsman training, and the lads share which running Instagram accounts they actually enjoy following.
The episode finishes with the TOP 5 feature - this week focusing on the best running and ultra-related YouTube videos and documentaries (with a few curveballs thrown in).
Looking ahead, RUNcensored Live heads to Oswestry on 17th April, and both Gary and Ben will be at She Ultra on 11th April, organised by Huw Williams - with Gary on socials and Ben bringing the Barnsley Briefcase.

A proper mixed bag this week - from trail running headlines to full-on orienteering chaos in Edinburgh, plus a look behind the curtain at brand-led running trips.

Gary and Ben chat through some of the latest stories, including a bizarre Strava incident involving a French aircraft carrier heading to Iran and a standout canicross 5K world record. There’s also a measured look at recent developments around Ourea Events and what it could mean for races like the Northern Traverse, with early signs of runners already heading back out on the route thanks to James Elson stepping in.

Then it’s onto the Old Town Showdown in Edinburgh, presented by SportsShoes' Quid Games and British Orienteering. Expect fast decisions, chaotic racing, clever course design from Edinburgh University Orienteering Club, and a rapid 30-minute winning run from Finley Todd.

There’s chat around local advantage, prize strategy, and the unique atmosphere these events create, plus a few hints about what might be coming next
Ben also shares his experience testing the Mizuno Neo Accera in Gran Canaria and gives his take on modern trail shoe tech and brand launch events.

Real talk, real running, no filter.
