The Sub Sub-Elite Club Podcast

25: Hydration or Hibernation

Before we get started, a quick apology that the audio isn't quite up to our usual standard this week due to a few technical issues with the audio enhancement. We appreciate your patience and hope you still enjoy the episode. Episode 25 is here and, as always, there's plenty to get through. Dan is thoroughly enjoying life back on dry land, while Dylan somehow manages to survive a week of training despite dodging naughty schoolchildren, rogue dogs, and an angry wasp. Meanwhile, Ben gives everyone a scare after disappearing following a brutal session in the heat, leaving the boys wondering whether he'd actually made it home. The lads also round up the latest Diamond League action, discuss the biggest stories from across the running world, and tackle a listener question that sparks one of the best debates of the episode. Tune in for honest training chat, plenty of laughs, and everything happening in the world of the Sub Sub-Elite Club.

24: Heat, Humidity and Homecomings

Episode 24 is here and there's plenty to catch up on. Dan is back from deployment with stories to tell, from running endless 200m laps of the flight deck to grinding out threshold sessions on the dreaded curved treadmill. Dylan also has plenty to unpack after taking on 12.5 laps of the track in 35 degree heat in Vienna, balancing racing with regular cooling off trips to the Danube. Meanwhile, Ben continues his seemingly impossible quest to string together more than one week of sensible, professional training. The boys also round up all the action from the British Championships, discuss the standout performances, and cover the biggest stories from across the running world. Tune in for honest training chat, race recaps, and everything happening in the world of the Sub Sub-Elite Club.

23: Gel Wars: The Battle for Carb Supremacy

Episode 23 is here, and somehow, Ben has once again proven that running makes absolutely no sense. After cutting a long run short thanks to an ill-advised breakfast decision, he somehow bounced back days later to run a season's best over 5k and continue building towards a PB attempt. Dylan, meanwhile, has found something new to moan about after another Hyrox takeover turned the track into anything but a running venue. With Callum back on the pod, the boys also weigh in on the latest battle of the gels and round up all the latest race news and results. Tune in for training updates, strong opinions, and everything happening in the world of the Sub Sub-Elite Club.

22: Breakfast PB, Long Run DNF

Episode 22 is here, and with Dan still away and Callum unavailable, Dylan's worst nightmare becomes reality as Jade is called up for a last-minute appearance on the pod. Fresh off a difficult outing in London, Dylan discusses how he managed to salvage some pride with a much-improved performance at Podium 5k. Meanwhile, Ben is just days away from his own 5k race and attempts to navigate another week of training while continuing his ongoing battle with questionable fuelling choices. The team also round up the latest local and international race results, breaking down the biggest stories from the running world. And with Jade making her debut, she arrives all guns blazing, holding nothing back as she weighs in on this week's Pick of the Week and Strava W⚓️. Tune in for honest training chat, strong opinions, and everything happening in the world of the Sub Sub-Elite Club.

21: Running on Empty, Recovering on Empty

Episode 21 is here and there is plenty to get through. Dylan is still trying to pick up the pieces after a tough outing over 5k at Comeback, while Ben is sharpening up nicely and building towards another crack at a 5k. Callum continues his road to recovery and, despite recently being on the receiving end of an encounter with a driver, has not let it stop him from getting the cross-training in on the bike. The boys also round up the latest race results and running news before diving into some truly absurd comments surrounding whether Olympians should be paid. Tune in to fully catch up!
