The RUNcensored crew are back from their break with a brand new episode — and it’s a big one.Gary, Ben and Chris pick up right where they left off with the usual mix of banter, stories and raw honesty about the world of trail, fell and ultra running.☕ General chat – The lads ease back in with holiday catch-ups and even a heated debate about coffee machines.🧭 Ben on orienteering – After Kay from British Orienteering joined the pod earlier this year, listeners have been inspired to try it for themselves. Ben shares his recent experiences at orienteering events and why the sport is such a good crossover for trail runners.🎬 Events on the horizon – Updates on Quid Games 2 and the Kendal Mountain Festival.🏔 Gary’s Tor des Géants – Gary takes us through his week in Italy, from supporting friends who were hit by a virus to his own meticulous preparation. He then opens up about how that same virus caught up with him during the 330km race, forcing him to withdraw. The conversation dives into the physical toll, the emotional impact of a DNF, and what comes next.🌍 World Championships chat – The lads break down the wide range of races on offer this year, from the uphill to the short and long ultras. They ask whether too many options are diluting the fields, talk about prize money, and compare it all to the UTMB.👟 Athletes and results – Spotlight on Rémi Bonnet, predictions on who might win, Ben reeling off results and finish times, and a frank chat on funding, sponsorship and media coverage.This one’s got everything: big race talk, personal stories, and the kind of unfiltered banter that makes RUNcensored different.#ultrarunning #trailrunning #tordesgeants #fellrunning #orienteering #worldchampionships #utmb #mountainrunning #runningpodcast #runcensoredRUNcensored 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: [email protected] by Chris Davies, Eastwood Mediawww.eastwood-media.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
