This week Allie and Kirsty discuss everything from Kirsty's hotly anticipated return to road running to why being a dick to yourself makes you a member of the partricahy, ladies.

We also ask why it is that we as a society value outcomes over process - we don't have an answer for this - if you do please let us know!

And we also make known our feelings on the UTS mess. Can you guess what they are?

There's a bit of a plug for Damos new book as well - you can get your copy here: https://www.adventurebooks.com/products/run-forever-damian-hall

We back! Welcome to the season opener where Allie and Kirsty spend ten minutes talking absolute shite before introducing the topic for season five - PROCESS.

We discuss what process actually is, why it's important and how a lot of us are getting it wrong, plus we marvel at how the women of the winter olympics are getting it right and why it's important to keep two eyes on the path.

The book Kirsty mentions is The Score by C.Thi. Nguyen.

We'd love to answer your questions on process - send them to us via instagram or email and we shall get on it! This series is once again sponsored by our friends at XMILES - your one stop nutrition shop, You can get 10% off your orders using the code RWSY10.

It's the morning after the two days before and we have an exclusive interview with Damian Hall, one if only two runners who made it to the end of loop three at the Barkley Marathons 2026. Here we get a very tired insight into the conditions and route this year, and clarification on whether or not Damian actually did run the third loop with no shoes on.

In addition we have some crew insight from Allie on what it takes to crew a person with no tracker and no phone and with no idea of where they are or when they are coming in.

What fun we had.
