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

From Colin’s rollercoaster ride—starting off sick and somehow powering through to the finish—to Andrew’s elite-level crewing (which included spilling coffee on the spare clothes, obviously), it’s classic Idiots chaos.

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

On this episode of Idiots Go Running, we chat with Lewis from Smiffy Runs! From smashing out a marathon a day for a month to fuelling with Cream Eggs (yep, really), Lewis is the kind of ultra runner who just keeps going.

We talk about epic challenges, bouncing back when things go sideways, and what drives someone to keep throwing themselves into wild running adventures.

Get ready for laughs, inspiration, and a serious dose of running madness!

In this episode of Idiots Go Running, Colin sits down with Artemus, the mastermind behind the best bakery in Greece! 🇬🇷🥐 From fueling runners with perfect pastries to sharing the secrets behind the flakiest filo, Artemus gives us the inside scoop on what makes his bakery a must-visit.

We chat about the importance of good food for endurance, the best pre- and post-run treats, and, of course, how many pastries Andrew can eat in one sitting. This one is a feast for the ears—don’t listen on an empty stomach!

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! 🏃‍♂️💨

Let’s get out there and run like absolute eejits! 🏃‍♂️🔥

We made it to Greece, baby! 🇬🇷🏃‍♂️

It’s part one of our Marathon to Athens Adventure, and in true Idiots Go Running style, it’s already been an eventful journey. ✈️ From dodgy travel decisions to high-stakes Rock, Paper, Scissors, we somehow made it to the start line.

But that’s not all—we had the absolute privilege of meeting the one and only Ultramarathon Man, Dean Karnazes, AND Spartathlon’s leading female runner, Jo Manta! Legends, eejits, and a whole lot of running chat.

From hitting the wall to negative splits, fueling strategies to race-day nerves, we cover it all. Whether you’re a back-of-the-pack hero, a mid-pack warrior, or out there chasing PBs, this one’s for you! Buckle up—it’s only just beginning! 🎧🔥
