Cup Battles & Busy Weekends | Chasing the Finish Running Podcast Episode 45

This week on Chasing The Finish, Ben explains the chaos behind his handicap-style Parkrun Cup — where maths, pacing and pure luck somehow all matter at the same time. Meanwhile, Mike continues the quest of “just trying to run consistently” without his legs filing a formal complaint. We also take a look at the rapidly stacking running calendar, with races, parkruns and questionable recovery decisions coming thick and fast. At this point, the diary is fuller than the carb-loading menu. Expect: * Parkrun Cup drama * Over-ambitious scheduling * Tired legs and big plans * The usual questionable decision-making Learn more about your ad choices.

The Mental Health World Cup & The Return of Running Bingo | Chasing the Finish Podcast Episode 44

In this episode, we chat about the incredible Mental Health World Cup at Watford FC — a brilliant event showing the power of football, community, and talking openly about mental health. Expect heartfelt moments… quickly interrupted by the usual nonsense. We also officially launch CTF Running Bingo Season 2 — because apparently normal running wasn’t chaotic enough. More challenges, more questionable ideas, and more opportunities for someone to pull a hamstring while trying to complete a bingo square. Expect: * Running chat that occasionally makes sense * Football talk from people who definitely aren’t professional pundits * Mental health conversations that actually matter * Competitive bingo energy nobody asked for * At least one terrible running-related decision Learn more about your ad choices.

Ben’s Stag: The Debrief We Probably Shouldn’t Air | Chasing the Finish Podcast Episode 43

This week on Chasing the Finish, we attempt to piece together what actually happened on Ben’s stag do in Amsterdam… with mixed success. Expect questionable decisions, hazy memories and at least one story that definitely didn’t need to be told on a podcast (but was anyway). We also (briefly) regain some professionalism to chat about the upcoming charity football tournament at Watford FC, where athleticism will be optional, but enthusiasm absolutely won’t be. And just when you thought things couldn’t get any more chaotic… we officially announce Season 2 of CTF Bingo. New squares, new rules and even more opportunities to shout “THAT’S ON THE CARD!” at completely inappropriate moments. It’s messy, it’s unpredictable, and it’s probably our most on-brand episode yet.
