Ep 214 - Chrissie Wellington on what it takes to be an Ironman champ
05/08/20 • 126 min
So Bad Boy Running has officially gone to the Dark Side. We've invited the greatest champion of Ironman for a chat.... and we LOVED IT!
In this episode, Jody and David speak with four-time Ironman World Champion Chrissie Wellington and... well... it's pretty obvious how the guys were a *little* bit in love with Chrissie once they got off the call. :)
Even if you've heard Chrissie before, this episode is a real eye-opener as she talks in depth about the period before becoming a professional triathlete, her passion for international development and what it feels like (good and bad) to be part of a triathlon training team. Seriously, this is one great listen.
Chrissie even has a few words of advice to help Jody in his Ironman challenge...
Enjoy!

Ep 215 - Dean Karnazes on CBD and Spartan Trail Champs
Ok, you *probably* weren't expecting this... but we got Dean Karnazes talking cannabis.
Yeah, not in that way, but more about his partnership with a CBD brand offering running supplements.
This is the second time Dean has appeared on the podcast and he's always a great guest.
He also takes the time to talk about his relationship with Spartan as they move into the ultrarunning space as well as his clothing preference when he's indoors.
(Hint: don't accept any offers to stay over at Dean's, ok?)
This is another good one.
Enjoy!
