It's been 2 weeks and there is so much to discuss this week - some of it just gets lost in the excitement...

In Parkrun Parables - Andy covers Woolacombe, Fire Service College and Tim cover the new kid on the block, Cofton Park.

Paul Em drops in for a game of Goldy in which Andy reveals the first 2 song titles, by singing them directly after starting.

Our listeners flood in tips for the hot races of 2027 as they tell us about their future bookings. Tim is on the horns of a Bath vs Cambridge dilemma which could end up being expensive.

Guess The Number plumbs new depths of shocking, the fate of the Jane McDonald CD is FINALLY decided and Reviews of Solihull Half Marathon and the Unity 5K are brutal in their brevity.

Music Tonight comes from Jade Starr and Denise Lance with "The Maze".

After a week away, Tim has returned from Cornwall, full of the joys of Coastal Running and Holiday Park Wifi, as well as entertainment, bedding and 5 star awarding.

It's a bumper Parkrun Parables this week. Tim discusses his trip to the Lost Gardens of Helligan, proving Andy right and the joys of adventure. Andy is in the empties this weekend, as he has to change his parkrun plans due to a late withdrawal from Stu.

Sally from Kilmarnock drops in to play another 80's themed Goldy with some panache. There is a wonderful game of "Guess my Number" with an almost extraordinary outcome, whilst Tim discusses how to make the Solihull Half Marathon in any way different.

InSole Section - the Megablast and the Streakfly 2 get a mention - but the climax of the Jane McDonald Challenge Pt4 is the really start of the show..... the excitement!!

Music Tonight comes from The Indigo Sunsets with a heavily Stu Based - "Chapter 6".

The World Cup might be a forgotten memory, but the boys have plenty to cover this week! What with Andy's Birthday celebrations and a cruel evening under the stars, to urine bottle purchases, to National Trust memberships that long outstay their welcomes.

It's a bumper Parkrun Parables this week. Tim discusses his Cornwall destination as Andy tries and fails to open his mind. Sam's pacing success at Arrow Valley last week is discussed as well as a special MARMCAST enthusiast, whom we very much hope to join us on a future pod.

Jon Gerrard drops in to play an 80's themed Goldy on Guitar and perhaps become the most successful contestant ever? All this and the Wombourne Railway 5K rated and reviewed AND the Jane McDonald Challenge, Week 2 fully explained.

Fresh from the Outside Broadcast, the boys discuss their plans for future OB's, preferably one's where they won't get distracted.

In the week where Engerland got cruelly ejected from the World Cup, the boys discuss whether their love of football has died, or whether it will return one day.

Mike Tipping drops in to play Goldy on Guitar and get repeatedly grilled about living on a narrowboat. Light it Up's Sam Bacon pops in to chat about his 19 min Arrow Valley challenge taking place first thing in the morning, and the biys review the Big Bear 10K and Northbrook 10K respectively.

All this and the Jane McDonald Challenge, fully explained.

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 49!!

We are back!! From a week off!!

As well as finally revealing plans for the Jane McDonald MARMCAST Summer Running Challenge, the boys chat to parkrun expert James from North Devon (originally Banbury) who takes on perhaps the laziest Goldy on Guitar ever.

The boys discuss their own parkrun exploits including (of course) Arrow Valley, Evesham and MARM's mindless Cannon Hill loyalty. Even he doesn't know why. The Strava club gets a revisit and Davy finally gets his letter read aloud after 9 months waiting!

MARM reviews the ridiculously hilly Stow on the Wold 10K, and the hills of the Cleobury Mortimer 10K are planned this Sunday as the boys try to work out which one of them came up with the idea to enter.

MARMCAST is 50 next week, and celebrating with a 10K and an outside broadcast. We'd love to see you there!

Music tonight from James Barclay (Coldacre) with "Astray".

Andy and Tim open the pod by discussing ANOTHER Andy illness, as well as a few opening comments on the World Cup, as it enters its 73rd week.

Michelle Lewis from charity, Step Forward with Lewis joins the lads to share here love of running, her inspiration behind helping others, and her terrible knowledge of 70's sitcoms.

The boys are also joined by Ryan and Hayley from Youtube channel Raleys Adventures, to review the Two Castles 10K. Tim tries to start an argument with a challenging couples reflection retreat.

The Offas Dyke 15 mile race is reviewed, with Andy struggling, but then being a secret angel - how will it fair? The Strava club lights it up with a Parkrun Triple and the Jane McDonald challenge gathers pace...

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 47!!

MARMCAST is exactly ONE YEAR old. Andy and Tim reflect on the highs and lows of this year, thinking back to the early days of the pod and realising that those embarrassingly ill conceived ideas....are still their embarrassingly ill conceived ideas that make up the entirety of the pod.

Talking of which, Andy has a Jane McDonald running Strava idea, which is simplky appalling. In both execution and delivery.

Ross joins us for a game of Goldy, with Andy treating him to some classic movie tracks, which Ross makes short work of. Endure 24 is waiting for Ross in the future! We wish him well.

The Best Game in the Whole World (FACT) - Guess my Number, throws up another cliffhanger, the Doc drops by, with his wife having left him and there are reviews of Leamington and previews of Two Castles and Offas Dyke to go through.

Music tonight from The Indigo Sunsets, "Sugar on your Soul".
