Thoughts on a Run

Episode 119: Circling back, what is porridge?

THE HUNTLY HALF MARATHON CURSE HAS BEEN BROKEN!!! Some incredible twin magic on this week’s ep. Hannah looks really solid and hits a Huntly PB (yeeeehaaaaw), Missy absolutely hoofs a post-run pie, and Teacup (the neighbours cat) is on the fence. Missy doesn’t do a toot but does let it rip as she (tries) to encode some memorable discussion of memory, ft., some metaphors (because they can be helpful). Hannah rolls through some quick, steely yet creamy, oat-fuelled chat. Shout out to the pace runners and all the weekend half-mara heroes, spurtle this in ya ear holes.

Episode 118: First one to the tree and back

It’s not written in the stars, but breaking the Huntly Half-Marathon curse is certainly on the cards! Hannah is a recycling champion (twice) and Missy overexplains how we manage our yellow bin. Han (symbolically) crosses a line, breaks the tape, and raises high some victorious finishing ribbon chat - get excited. Missy keeps it local as she brews some fizzy facts on the NZ icon that is L&P. Is spectated a word? Regardless, this episode is something worthy of being gazed upon.

Episdoe 117: You need to know where you are and where you want to go

Mere weeks out from the Kirikiriroa Marathon, the running is going down as we head into taper town. History was made at the 2026 TCS London Marathon and Thoughts on a Run wants a slice of that sub-2 barrier breaking pie. Missy’s been witching since way back and winds her way around the Thames, giving the goss on the worlds most popular marathon. Hannah tries to get her bearings and invites you “come with me for some compass chat” - it’s magnitising. Feat a haunting sing song or two, a shameless plug for Pic’s peanut butter, and a shout out to all the Mum’s.

Episode 116: The answer is… it’s not fair everybody.

Hannah is swell and quite spiffy as a person, Missy is resplendent, and this podcast is an embarrassment in a podsitive way ;) GOATs are on the menu this week as Hannah gets some epic Black Ferns chat over the line. Women’s rugby isn’t ‘the girls version of the sport’, it is rugby and Han gets really in her feelings about it - as she should!. Missy then does a stand up job on the SAT (yapping about it not taking the test). Ultimately, we could keep waffling on but better we just put this episode to the test - go on, try, tackle and scrum this in your ear holes.

Episode 115: There’s a fly on your arm

Hannah has her hand up and gives side eye while Missy doesn’t cut it out and stands corrected. This week is swish and is the equivalent of disco ball, because thoughts on a run turns any room into a party. Missy prattles on about processions pounding, prancing, and perambulating the pavement as she marches through some parade chat. Hannah moves and grooves and as praises the magic of the mirror ball. We live in a world where sometimes we need a parade - this podcast will have to do…you know what to do - pop your bangerz on!
