57.5 Degrees of Pain Jan 2014 10:26pm, 15 Jan 2014 1,200 posts	Quote Pin 57.5 Degrees of Pain I'll listen to most podcasts simply to fill the hours of running. Talk Ultra wins out by being ridiculously long, even though the main focus is US 100s and 'Sky Running' and not very relevant to the Ultra scene most of us know. Marathon Talk is always good value and I'll put up with the parkrun show (tedious in jokes and all) so I can keep our parkrun team informed and pick up tips when they cover more useful subjects. Will try out the new suggestions when I need to fill more hours when the long runs kick in. I also like 'The Marathon Show' but that is probably the American bit of me. I imagine most Brits would find Joe Tericani REALLY annoying!

Dooogs Jan 2014 10:42pm, 15 Jan 2014 3,553 posts	Quote Pin Dooogs I don't mind tedious in-jokes (in fact, I rather like them) but the relentless positivity of The parkrun Show wore me down over time - to be blunt, I wouldn't trust them to tell us if there was anything less than perfect about parkrun... Must try Marathon talk - although I've got a backlog of 30 hours of other (mostly non-running) podcasts to grind down a bit first...
57.5 Degrees of Pain Jan 2014 10:55pm, 15 Jan 2014 1,202 posts	Quote Pin 57.5 Degrees of Pain Only a mere 30 hour backlog Dooogs? I use a massive backlog, to motivate me to up my mileage... and it'll need to be soon!
Dooogs Jan 2014 10:59pm, 15 Jan 2014 3,559 posts	Quote Pin Dooogs I've been working on it - it was about 70 hours last April! There is a definite negative correlation between training miles run and size of backlog...
