As a fellow Brit I can tell these guys really get along.. simply by the amount of merciless pisstaking between them. If an Englishman likes you he will roast the shit out of you.

Sarah is always #1 in our hearts.

I love what Sarah brings to this podcast. Hands down she makes the podcast!

One of the reasons, TRC Podcast is currently one of my favourites, is the banter! Especially living alone, listening to a podcast that feels like mates having good banter after an annoying work day is very appreciated! Cheers from Switzerland

I’m a runner, of course I get annoyed when people walk 5 abreast across paths

1:10 - OUUUCH why would someone say that 😂Sarah's a fantastic host

I’m with Andy. The chip time is law!

Relatively new runner and park runner. Just did my 25th run this Saturday at my local Newy Parkrun. Also made a PB that broke the 30min mark for my first time , so pretty happy with my run. Love the channel and the podcast and enjoy the banter with Sarah, so don’t stay serious (as if you would). Thanks for all the info and the fun for someone (at 53yo) took up running.

Rick's logic regarding 5min past the hour also would mean you're more likely to get a clear photo taken. And yes...I want to see him do it and see if he's right.

Came all the way here from Spotify to tell Sarah how much I appreciate her. Sincerely, a professional, serious, adult person

looking forward to rick's 2:05 marathon, plenty of space when he runs at that pace 🙏

TRC podcast is a highlight of my week, it makes me chuckle more than some comedy podcasts. On top of that it keeps me inspired to carrybon running

I love good old British banter. One of the things I love about this channel and this podcast.

Love your work, guys. Two comments for Sarah from the antipodes. (1) You have such a classically delightful british accent. (2) I'm over 50 (I laugh when you & Rick mock Andy for being old), and I still watch my kids play sport and think "Oh I miss that". Kids are awesome but exhausting; dive into parenthood while you're still fit & young. Also, the younger you are when you have kids, the more likely you'll still be able to run faster than them when they're teenagers!

I’m a runner. Of course I have a box of gels on the kitchen counter and wear shorts year around.

Edinburgh marathon next weekend - as ready as I’ll ever be! Looking forward to taking it on again !

I love seeing all the presenters. Each brings something different and valuable. Love you all!

just set a 5k pb (seems to be every other week i break a new pb but thats the perks of being a new-ish runner) while funny enough listening to the harry potter book as you make a sirius black joke lol can kick my feet up and relax watching this now before i head to a beer garden with the lads to enjoy this beautiful scottish weather!

This episode didn't go anywhere. Pure banter. Top shelf. 💯

I for one am delighted to see Sarah back!! Bring on the nonsense and hilarity 😂😂 Oh and yes, chip time every time. Strava time is just there to taunt us 😖😖

My heroes !! Always a pleasure.

Sock, sock, shoe, shoe is obvious. For those who have twins, the real question is how do you do it? A) Sock, sock, sock, sock, shoe, shoe, shoe, shoe Or B) sock, sock, shoe, shoe, sock, sock, shoe, shoe.

I’m a runner, of course I get annoyed when people let their dogs run across me with extendable leads

The screen brims with talent, and Sarah, there’s no need for jealousy-you’ll always have a unique place here 🎉

I resolutely don't understand the sock-shoe-sock-shoe debate. I get ready for my run, I assume like any semi-normal person, in my bedroom, where my clothes are. I then, descend the stairs to nigh the door, where my shoes are, and don them. I am certain there is no parallel universe whereby my alternate thinks it's most sensible to delay the donning of the socks such that it must be done in that order because there is no reasoning that may support it. I can only assume that people that do, must have a particularly special clothing/shoe storage situation, because otherwise, I can only speak to a conscious decision that is questionable at best.

I’m with Rick, I’m doing my first marathon in a week and my goal is 5 past 4 hours! Mostly because I don’t think I am quite fit enough to reach sub 4 so I am picking a more realistic goal based on my training paces

I think Rick is on to something. 🤣. My first and only marathon at age 60 goal was to finish 5 minutes before cut off. Maybe I will “run” another someday. Maybe I won’t. I will keep this “goal” in mind.

I'm a runner, of course I watch the running channel podcast. Also, I ran Newport marathon in April where the organisers measured the course incorrectly. It was 300 yards too long. Does this mean that I can adjust my time to take this into account?

So glad Sarah is back. It's so much more fun to listen to the podcast.

Rick should find a run/walking marathon for his next marathon. So he can ease into getting back into it.

Good to have you back Sarah, I'm all about the lols after a serious day at work!!

This year (2024) I have so far used 1690 Euro on racing fee's. Its gone completely bonkers since Covid, almost doubled, and I get the feeling that especially bigger city-races has gone totally gready. More entries, higher entry-fee, same service and mostly done by volunteers. In 2025 I'm cutting all the expencive races, going for some cheaper local ones and then saving for hollydays with my familly.

I'm a runner... I always have sneakers in my amazon cart waiting for a price drop lol 😂😅

Dang 20°C is hot? I'd love that this time of year (South Carolina, USA). I'm happy if it's 26°C, usually it's 29°C. Great podcast as always!

I absolutely love the banter and personality in this podcast. Please make them longer, to give more room for the goofiness!

I did not see last week’s episode but now have to go watch it before going on… 😄

I love Sarah on the podcast! Wouldn't change her for the world! ❤

We are running in 47C! 🥵Delhi has highest pollution and pollen content!! 😩

Personally, I prefer having Sarah. I like the less serious, more fun vibes 😜 (But seriously, it’s good to mix it up sometimes, and Jess was really good)

When Sarah said, "I'm a five-past-three-er" My edible was just kicking in and I almost sprayed coffee out of my nose laughing. LOL

I feel that when you're asked about discrepancies between chip time and Strava/watch time, the focus of the answer should be more on the fact that GPS is inaccurate. Even on straight roads, in ideal conditions, it can be out by a few percent. Turns and tall buildings make this even worse. If you ever zoom in on sections of your run, it can be so far off. So whilst weaving may add some distance, the majority is going to be the GPS. The conclusion is the same, that chip time should be used for records, but blaming weaving makes you think that you've actually ran the longer distance, when in reality, you probably haven't.

I’m for Sarah!! 🎉🎉🎉 You guys are so fun to listen too.

I work as a postie and wear shorts every shift. Shorts off shift unless its cold then joggers. Helped smash my Parkrun PB and finally got sub 20.

Sarah is by far my favorite. She seems like somebody I would want to be friends with

I enjoy the banter, especially when you're trying to be serious. I feel really old now I took my GCSEs in 1088, which was the year they took over from O Levels. I guess that makes me to OG lol

Love watching you three … Sarah, it’s like you’re chatting with your big brothers while they constantly tease you 🤣🤣

You guys had me laughing so hard during Rick's "five past an hour" discussion. Let's make it happen!

This had me laughing so hard during AN INTERVAL SESSION!! Well done 👏👏

Sarah, you are the only reason I watch this pod cast 🙃. Ignore the haters.

Welcome back Sarah...last postcast you were so tired that i didn't recognize you😲 Training was so hard?

The podcast is fun and enjoyable because of your dynamic!! Prefer fun banter over "serious" :)

Just want to say I absolutely love you on the episodes Sarah! I love the lightweight banta mixed with serious talk. Keep it up 🎉❤

The other day in my friend's car on the way to park run, I started doing sock shoe and had to stop myself. This has never happened to me before, I am concerned I'm losing it.

Sock/shoe confession: while I’m usually sock, sock, shoe, shoe, I do occasionally mix it up to sock, shoe, sock, shoe as a means of laziness when my legs are too tired to bend twice for attire.

love the longer podcasts

Only when watching this channel do I get ads for the Kiprun kd900x ld. During this podcast, I got an ad for a skin care product...Rick, is this your doing? Lol

Oh man... core memory unlocked. BENCHBALL!!!! I loved that game I'm 19 BTW

I seriously love the podcast..

I came to the running channel BECAUSE of Sarah. Everyone else is great too, but she's how I found these videos and why I keep coming back. I came for the Sarah and all I got was this useless science.

I go sock shoe, sock shoe. It's more efficient lol. I already have my foot up, so why wouldn't I then put my shoe on haha? Plus. I'm very aware of how my socks feel, so like if it's wrong, I need to fix it. So I put the sock on, then the shoe, then assess if I have the bad vibes. Adjust as needed. Move on to other foot lol.

We're coming in real frickin hot today! 🤣

Sarah carries the podcast. Serious unserious, the banter between the three of you is great. Loved all the surprise guests though. ❤

I think after your first marathon you just aim for a PB or an achievable goal based on your training? Going for 5 past the hour could be like a 50 minute PB 😂

You should do a TRC parkrun takeover and tour around parkruns in the country, not sure which of you would be RD though!

Getting ready for a big half tomorrow! Good luck for the historic half

Send Rick to Manchester Marathon next year, I'll happily keep him company aiming for 5:05 ⌚🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃

Just finished Helsinki marathon last week, it was a slow one, 6 half hours approx. Next marathon end of July San Francisco woop woop!!

I know I'm a runner because I spend so much on race trips...to the extent I wrote my car off en route to my last running event.

Newcastle Gateshead M athon would be greatb for Rick. I has the added bonus of a kililer hill for each of three or four laps. And it s a great city to visit

I think Rick's on to something. My first marathon, I wanted sub 4:30, got 4:33. Second one, wanted sub 4, got 4:02. If I had been aiming for 5 over I would have had a nice 2-3 minute buffer there 😄

Haha 5 past 5: maybe I’ll use that as my goal for Ottawa next weekend 😂😂😂

Sarah is an essential part of the podcast! However - I have to say they're better when there is better and more focused running content, rather than half an hour of banter. Honest feedback! Seek the balance!!

Seriously good episode!!!

Just did a half marathon and decided to aim for 2:00 - 2:05 for that race. It was tough to be that close to being under 2:00 but to know I probably wasn't going to make it for that race. I do think the reasoning to go 5 past the hour is reasonable.

That is a brilliant idea Rick had I love it 😃

it's 27 °C EVERYDAY in the mornings here in Trinidad 🇹🇹. 20 ° sounds heavenly.

Great show all !

How come you guys never joke about shoe - shoe, tie - tie vs shoe - tie, shoe - tie?

Im glad that serious bit is over with, I was getting a little bored with the quiz ;-). Normal service resumed after 3:44

I remember playing benchball! I also preferred it to netball

I'm a runner, of course I want to cheer other runners I see. (I never do because I don't want it to come across as heckling or something)

I am running my first marathon in October but it isn't one of the world majors or even in a big city and I am worried about the mental side of running a quieter marathon. What advice do you have for someone running their first marathon without the support of the crowd to carry them along. TIA for any help 😊😊

Generally I run solo, but recently started running with other people , silly question is it ok to run for over an hour and not talk ? as I find it hard to come up with stuff to talk about

Sarah, the highs are in the 30-35 range this week where I am... you'd hate it

Saw Mo at Hyrox London Olympia a couple of weeks ago! Any of the rest of the team going to do one? 😃

Sock shoe sock shoe is good for if you are taking your trail running shoes off and going for a swim, and then need to put them back on afterwards. You wash one foot, sock shoe it, then wash the other and sock shoe it.

Seriously good episode

I’d definitely travel to see Rick do 5 past 5 at snowdonia marathon!

I'm going to say Rick should do the Ljubljana marathon, just so that I can see you guys in person :)

20 degrees too hot ... 😄😄😄 It's around 29 by 9am where I live in Urkey . 🤪😬.

Sarah hate will not be tolerated!

This is so funny. Thanks

I'm a runner..of course I have way too much laundry!

Re Rick's 5 past the hour idea, in reality everyone has a different start and chip time so even if the finish clock is showing an hour coming up, it's not relevant to lots of people. Your 5 hour 5 minute cut off might be eg 05:24:00, reflecting your start.

Clearly, the 5:05 strategy should be tested at Marathon Eryri ( with a hand in the sea afterwards). 😅

Podcast certainly wouldn't be the same without Sarah! P.S. any chance you can get Anya Culling as a guest - her story is an inspiration for all us runners!

I'm a runner with a nearly 1 year old puppy who was raised by people who taught him that socks were toys, and I'm still sock, sock, shoe, shoe.

Sock shoe, sock shoe. For the reason Andy said. You don't pick up crumbs, fur etc on the sock before putting it in the shoe.

Sarah rocks ❤

I'm a runner. Of course I've capped me pants! 💩 🩲
