このコンテンツについて
It’s the return of ChatGBT – and you lot didn’t hold back. In this episode, Gary House, Ben Mounsey, and behind-the-scenes Chris tackle listener-submitted questions about running, gear, van life and (gulp) one of the most controversial debates in sport today.
Expect brutally honest answers, thoughtful tangents, and more laughs than any coaching session should legally allow. From shoe drops and descending fears to gender categories and pub-run logistics, nothing is off limits.

- Are barefoot and zero-drop shoes good for trail running?

- Trail shoe trends (La Sportiva Prodigio and more)
- Campervan weekends, wild running spots, and pub runs
- Why women’s and men’s shoes are designed differently
