EP79 - Lakeland 100 Nearly Broke Mel… Zoom Nearly Broke Us!
It nearly didn't happen...After battling through what might be the longest Zoom setup in podcast history (seriously, some people could've run a 10K quicker), Gary House and Ben Mounsey are joined by regular guest Mel Sykes for another unfiltered episode of RUNcensored.Fresh from the Lakeland 100 weekend, Mel talks us through one of the biggest trail running events in the UK. There's no sugar coating her DNF either, although Gary and Ben don't exactly offer much sympathy...Before all that, there's plenty of catching up. Gary returns from an 'Oasish' festival weekend, while Ben shares stories from a luxury spa break in the Dolomites involving a massage therapist called Antonio and what might just be the world's smallest paper pants.The conversation then turns to the Lakeland 50 and Lakeland 100, discussing the standout performances, race winners, the incredible atmosphere, why the event continues to attract the UK's strongest ultra runners and whether it's still one of the toughest races on the calendar.To round things off, RUNcensored's Top 5 gets a makeover as Ben puts Gary and Mel through a blind ranking challenge featuring the most annoying social media habits around race day.If you love trail running, ultras, honest race chat and plenty of laughs along the way, this one's for you.#RUNcensored #TrailRunning #Lakeland100 #Lakeland50 #UltraRunning #RunningPodcast #FellRunning #MountainRunning #DNF #TrailRace #RunningCommunityRUNcensored Podcast 🎙The unfiltered running podcast with Gary House & Ben Mounsey — honest chats with athletes, coaches and characters from the world of running.🌍 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/runcensoredpod📩 Get in touch: gary@houserunningclub.comProduced by Chris Davies, Eastwood Mediawww.eastwood-media.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Is this the biggest weekend in trail running?This week Gary and Ben look back on what we're calling trail running's Triple Crown weekend, with Western States 100, Marathon du Mont Blanc and Lavaredo by UTMB all landing on the same weekend.The lads break down the incredible racing at Western States, where the GOAT Kilian Jornet returned to take on Jim Walmsley, Francesco Puppi, Vincent Bouillard and one of the deepest fields ever assembled. With cooler temperatures than usual, records were always going to be under threat and the racing absolutely delivered.They also head to Chamonix for Marathon du Mont Blanc, where Tove Alexandersson once again reminded everyone why she might be the most dominant athlete in mountain sports, while the men's race produced a fascinating battle of its own.Ben reports back from Lavaredo after spending the week with La Sportiva, including a factory tour, an interview with CEO Giulia Delladio and his own outing in the Lavaredo 20k where he somehow came home with silverware for first old guy.There's also discussion around the Prodigio Pro, the ongoing tight compression shorts debate, England's World Cup chances and plenty of laughs along the way.And finally, the lads tackle one of running's most divisive questions: should you ever cross a finish line hand in hand?

EP72 - Mel Sykes returns to share all about Ultra Trail Snowdonia by UTMB
Rule no.1 of RUNcensored Club - we don’t do podcasts on Zoom.Rule no.2 of RUNcensored Club - we definitely don’t do podcasts on Zoom.Well… this week we broke the rules.The lads have been out in Chamonix filming their own version of the Circle Pit with Satisfy, and rather than leave you hanging another week, we’ve patched together a remote episode to celebrate one thing we couldn’t ignore - Mel Sykes absolutely smashing it at UTS.Mel returns to the pod to talk through one of the biggest performances of her running career and how it earned her a place on the CCC start line in Chamonix. The weather, the conditions, the suffering, the highs, the lows and the weird emotional rollercoaster that ultra running seems to drag all of us through eventually.We also touch on missing Quid Games in Keswick, throw together a very loose “Top 3”, rather than a “Top 5”, because standards have clearly slipped, and generally chat the usual amount of nonsense along the way.Audio quality? Slightly dodgy.Running chat? Still elite.If you’ve ever doubted yourself before a big goal… this one will hit home.Subscribe, follow, and share with your running mates.#RUNcensored #RunningPodcast #TrailRunning #UltraRunning #UTS #UltraTrail #TrailRunner #UltraRunner #MountainRunning #EnduranceRunning #RunningCommunity #UKRunning #TrailRun #UltraMarathon #RunningLife #RunnersOfInstagram #RunCulture #SatisfyRunning #CirclePit #Keswick #QuidGames #MelSykes #GaryHouse #BenMounsey #TrailRace #UltraRace #AdventureRunning #FellRunning #MountainAthlete #RunningMotivation #PainCave #EnduranceSport #LongRun #RaceDay #RunningChat #PodcastLife #YouTubePodcast #BritishRunning #TrailCommunity #RunnerLife #UltraCommunity #Mindset #SportsPodcast #RunningHumour #OffRoadRunning #TrailCulture #DistanceRunning #RunWild #TrailPodcast #DirtyMilesRUNcensored Podcast 🎙The unfiltered running podcast with Gary House & Ben Mounsey — honest chats with athletes, coaches and characters from the world of running.🌍 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/runcensoredpod📩 Get in touch: gary@houserunningclub.comProduced by Chris Davies, Eastwood Mediawww.eastwood-media.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
