Episodes

  1. Avatar: the way of podcasts

    This is a fitness running and tech podcast by Nick and Jon. This is also a review of the world's biggest movie, Avatar. The movie stars Channing Tatum as Jake. A guy with no legs. We meet him first in space, where he’s floating about and demonstrating 3D to us all. But then he lands on a planet…

  2. Podcasts by the yard

    Time marches on. Jon went off book and did an intro to explain the delay on this episode and try to contextualise it, but history keeps happening and it's now the day after the "mini-budget" and things seem to have gotten even worse. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Here's a chat we had before the heat wave when we...

  3. Jacked as a Service

    You didn't hear us coming, did you? Nick is doing weights and saving the planet, Jon is living in the moment, and both want to be postmen. See you soon!

  4. A mid-range anecdote at best

    Attention please, Nick & Jon have asserted their rights under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, 1988, to be identified as the inventors of Battleships Monopoly. As ever we appreciate you but even more if you donate to the Refuge Christmas appeal: https://donate.refuge.org.uk/page/91965/donate/

  5. Sous le bureau, le gymnase!

    Grab a dongle for your weights, and help yourself to a vegan Pukka pie—it's the Christmas episode. Don't want a vegan pie? Well have one anyway. We found time to chat about home gym set-ups, had a little festive chat, and uncovered yet more crippling social anxiety from Nick's past. Like the…

  6. Platinum White

    HAPPY LOCKDOWN 2 BABY Nick is open to bribes, Jon is just trying to help, and we let it all go to our heads. * [We won an award](https://awards.discoverpods.com/winners-2020-discover-pods-awards/) — if you voted, thanks...also what were you thinking? But seriously though thanks * Leave us a 5…

    more
  7. Get it done before the clap

    Failing to read the country's mood, we met up once again to talk about fitness, running and tech. Nick has found a new dead format to worry about, Jon is putting it all on the plate, and we offer up a hot take on Zoom calls. Remember, if you don't use lockdown to learn a language, write that…

    more
  8. #ukcopchat

    Stay safe, keep well, and don't let the bastards grind you down. Charities are getting fewer funds right now and yet it feels like we're being asked to help more and more so we're sorry in advance for asking you to dig into your pockets, but here we are. Thing is, if you're still working right…

  9. Narc, Narc, Narcing on Heaven's Door

    Help yourself to one of Daddy's sports biscuits and enter with us into the Book of Dreams, where we discuss the 2020 National Running Show, meet our idols (and immediately reject them) and try out yet another sports watch. Nick has been ghosting Jon, Jon has been giving Nick's home media set up...

  10. Morgan Spurwoke

    Nick is not well because he has eaten vegetarian takeaways for science. Links from this week's show: * [River Cottage Veg Everyday](https://amzn.to/2NYopWK) * [Veggie Lean in 15: 15-minute Veggie Meals with Workouts](https://amzn.to/2Gpnmut)

  11. White gloved AirPod sommelieuse

    Merry New Year! This week we go deep on home automation tech. We talk about winning at Veganuary, Nick treats us to not one but two bluetooth headphone reviews, Jon feels physically sick at the sound of the word "nubbin", and we make plans for the future which will never be mentioned again. *…

    more
  12. Bandit at mile 5

    OK juicer, it's time for some fitness, running and tech chat. This week it's actually about ethics in bluetooth headphone journalism. Nick's on the cans, Jon just wants to eat his dinner, and we try out some edgy current affairs jokes that are already out of date. As well as comparing notes on…

    more
  13. The Buff and the Vest

    Jon explains how to get everyone's attention during the Great North Run. Nick alleges he wears glasses. We are rather foolhardy in mentioning the date on tape. * [Find us on Strava](https://www.strava.com/clubs/you-don-t-look-like-a-runner-445740) * [Tell us things on...

  14. Season 2 Episode 1: Dad++

    Welcome to Season 2! What awaits you inside? Will there be a controversial new younger character who changes the dynamic of the show? Will Jon remember how to read the outro? Has the Audio Veteran delivered? You can probably guess the answers to all of these questions but it's about the journey…

    more
  15. 420 Google it

    I'm not sure how to do a trigger warning when you don't read the show notes but please be aware that this episode does go into eating disorders and wider mental health issues. There are some jokes first. * [Find us on Strava](https://www.strava.com/clubs/you-don-t-look-like-a-runner-445740) *…

  16. All the bitbits

    Grab yourself a vegan milkshake, settle down, then stand up, throw the milkshake at a racist, and then settle down for a weekly slice of fitness, running, and tech. It's a running heavy episode this week. Sorry tech fans. Nick has a 10k PB, despite being at the wrong location, Jon has been…

    more
  17. Old Man Sweet Spot

    Welcome back, it's been a long week. I'll be honest, I lost the show notes. But you don't read them anyway, and anything I write here will be lost like tears in rain. So, we will have almost certainly discussed fitness, running and tech. Let me know what this episode of the show is about by...

  18. Marathon grams

    The thing about fitness, running and tech is it's the little differences. Like in Chester they have the metric system... Welcome back! Kick off your over-pronation shoes, slide into your best slippers and pour yourself a wine based drink, it's time to catch up with your good friends Nick and Jon....

  19. Trousers in the 80s

    Dear listener This week's show notes, which surely you will not read, come in the form of an open open letter to friend of the show Blessed With Pace. Truly, the open letter is the coward's medium, as you will discover in this week's show. But while you may want world peace, I simply want to…

    more
  20. A collection of arbitrary juices

    Sorry everyone, but this is You Don’t Look Like a Runner and we are back. This week intellecual property will be stolen, Nick gets upstaged by Jon's other podcast husband, Jon makes like the Jesus of North Birmingham, and you, dear listener, are very much put in your place. * [160bpm Punk: run…

    more
  21. Bread slacks

    We don't just do this in January you know: it's time for some fitness and tech chat. Nick has inevitably bought a television, Jon needs pavement advice from Tom Hardy, and we double up and then double down on headphones. * [The Mania Half is coming](https://themaniahalf.co.uk/) * [Tom Hardy's…

    more
  22. Unicorn device

    Welcome back to your favourite fortnightly epsiode of weekly updates of fitness, running and tech. Turn up the sexy thermostat it's time to get involved in the neighbourhood watch. We take a weird segue into consumer advice, Nick is running again (again), Jon is picking a personal trainer and not…

  23. Not the place to be naked

    Welcome to this year’s episode of weekly podcast You Don’t Look Like a Runner. This week we refuse to give up on our Christmas diets, Nick shares some medical history, Jon finds the perfect gift, and we get excited about the new Gregg’s vegan sausage roll. * [Jon received this survivalist running...

  24. Having a go at the Baddies

    Welcome to this week’s runner pod a podcast for pod people where we discuss sleep pods and AirPods and pod hotels. And Dave Mustaine too. * [Nick begrudgingly enjoyed this gift](https://www.lastexittonowhere.com/) * [Nick was very suspicious about this...

  25. Don't go to the doctor

    Welcome back to the utopian world of You Don't Look Like a Runner where anybody can get the new customer deals. Come and delve deep into our freezer drawers to find some veggie protein! This week we try to work out how we've got the office bug when we work from home, Nick is on the run from the...

  26. Theatre of the opening

    Welcome back to the rich universe of fitness, running and tech for some vintage gaslighting from your good friends Nick and Jon. This week we share one neat trick to lose weight through eating more and make a strong pitch to the podcast advertising gods. We go back to the well that is [Runner Pod...

  27. Bespoke Chocolat

    Hello you, it’s time for your regular collective mugging off from Nick and Jon. This “week” Jon’s deaf cat gets in the mix early and often, so be ready to turn down the volume on your Acoustic Veteran ERLs. We discuss things that happened at Butlins which were supposed to stay at Butlins, Nick...

  28. Shaving veteran

    Nick and Jon talk about sleep, dead flies, octothorpeUKrunchat and shaving into a big sheet. Just your classic dose of running, fitness, and tech chat.

  29. Bad Friend

    This week we show you how the sausage is made, get wet, and secrets are revealed. There is also more tent chat. ## Fitness Nick is not rowing, but he has a personal trainer now. ## Running Jon is a moron and can't run a proper tempo run so please [tell him what he is doing...

  30. Big Tent

    "It's been a while", but we're back and so is Jon's cat, "well rounded character" listener Ross and, if you listen closely, Nick's actual landline going off in the background. We discuss both types of tent ("air tent" and "tent"), Nick is not a complicated man, Jon accepts his fate, and we…

    more
  31. That was a good joke

    It's coming home.

  32. Unprivatise the lot

    It's a follow-up-a-polloza! We discuss the sticker giveaway, Nick eats humble pie at the chirpractors, Jon reviews online giving websites, and we make some very rash promises. ## Sticker giveaway and charity fundraiser We made some Stickers. They're quite lovely, great quality and they feature…

    more
  33. You're in a band

    Let's be honest, you weren't expecting another weekly show this soon but here we are nonetheless. This week we recorded face to face for only the second time, so things get weird quickly. We discuss the Moreton family biscuit barrel, Nick has to call a man about his head, Jon can't make a...

  34. Weird little table

    Chasing a PB, we're dropping our second "weekly" episode this week. In this episode we track down Fat Nick on Strava and find out if Chiropractic is a thing. We talk marathons, pilates, and get two tickets to Nick's post-rowing gun show. Nick has done his homework, Jon dreams of SIS gels, and we...

  35. Wake up wrist

    You've waited too damn long for this episode for Jon to get precious about show notes. We talked a lot about his watch, and a bit about Panini albums. Or maybe we didn't. That bit might have got cut. Things to do: * Make sure you watch Halt and Catch Fire soon * Join our running club on...

  36. WrestleMania, running to survive

    Just like that, just like that, we're here to chat shit about fitness, running and tech. This "week" we teach you a life hack to be Andy Serkis on the cheap and get our excuses in for a series of terrible runs. We refuse to apologise for an extended chat about JavaScript, Nick does some ERL...

  37. Red rag to the bully bull

    Nick and Jon punch each other for bantz. Important links: - [The Mania Half](http://themaniahalf.co.uk) - [When the Course Wins: No Finishers at the 2018 Barkley Marathons](https://www.runnersworld.com/general-interest/no-finishers-at-2018-barkley-marathons)

  38. Rubbish as a service

    What did you do in the Bluetooth wars, Daddy? Welcome back to You Don’t Look Like a Runner. This week we catch up with a number of long lost friends as we take a deep dive on the email and check in with the Audio Veteran from MIT. We talk about the /fucking snow/ again, Nick has a right to be...

  39. Memory in the battery

    It’s the show that changes every week! It’s Runner Pod, and we are here once again to talk about fitness, running and lithium ion batteries. This week we are in a self-congratulatory mood off the back of the triumph that was episode 21 (or was it 20? Nobody is sure anymore). We talk about…

    more
  40. The one person who looks like a runner

    We’re back, like the rappers are, to lay down diss tracks for one another through the medium of podcasting. This week our biggest fan doesn’t listen to the show, Nick gets stretched and Jon feels vibrations through his skull. If you want to listen along without spoilers, please watch _The Barkley...

  41. Full kit. Blood everywhere...

    After the Rian Johnson inspired avant-garde episodes 18 and 19, we settle back into a more accessible edit. This week we have a live reveal of our Great North Run ballot results. We talk Bluetooth headphones, Jon gets a nosebleed from playing at the highest level of football he’s ever reached…

    more
  42. Between my face and my finger

    Hello and welcome to You Don’t Look Like a Runner—an avant garde podcast, making unusual editing decisions and challenging your expectations of what this series is all about. This is part two of an epic new year chat which started in episode 18. This week Jon goes round the houses and Nick…

  43. Between then and the mountain

    The elite runners may nearly be back at the finish, but the green wave of podcasting is just setting off which means it's time for us to get started on this year we call 2018. We set ambitious goals, plan to infiltrate a gamergate stretching class, and get some long overdue slidey experience....

  44. I've never had a slidey experience

    Like when Doctor Who stops being a series and instead throws out occasional seasonal specials, we are back—back to discuss routers, the kids' Kindle Fire, and extreme sports pedagogy. Nick's hills are not alive with the sound of music, Jon's phone is absolutely terrible, and we fail to talk about...

  45. Little snowflake, reading his Transformers book

    It’s time to kick off your trainers and grab yourself a nourishing bowl of nonsense soup. This week Nick attempts to talk himself down from a major purchase by reading its tech specs and features out on mic. We talk about our broken old man backs, plan some dream desk setups, and go shopping for...

  46. Please, Mr Robot is my father's name

    "I learned a new word today: gaslight" It’s not [like God taking a photograph](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19UROAIbtlw) but it’s apparently Nick’s favourite word. What else is happening? We go back to school to do some basic French, remedial German, and complex maths. Nick makes the best of a...

  47. Plumbing to nowhere

    Nick and Jon talk secret doors, being in the film Human Traffic, putting the full stop on the AirPods chat, getting locked in to platforms and trying to escape, breaking records and dealing with photographs that showcase our terrible running technique.

  48. I'm a man, not a contact!

    Back by popular demand, we present _Nick’s Shit Bluetooth Headphone Review_. Yes, this week Nick goes into detail on his new Apple AirPods. We reminisce about early 2000s route planning websites, cut a swathe through follow up, and pit £160 Bluetooth ear buds against £20 ones. Nick is having an...

  49. The Woke XI

    Live from the echo chamber, Nick and Jon are back and woker than ever. This week we refine our sales pitch which can now be delivered by bike. We go deep on follow up, set some challenging goals, and go back to the drawing board on fitness watches. Nick has ordered new headphones, Jon just needs…

    more
  50. Game positive

    The perfect watch may be here, but we don’t know as the PR guy is on holiday. This week Nick apparently has nothing to say and yet we seem to have gone long again. We talk Apple Watch and FitBit Ionic, plan Jon’s retirement, and get in the buff(s). Nick doesn’t watch TV, Jon doesn’t watch the...
