    Overwhelmed by shoe choice? Confused by marketing hype? Welcome to the FORDY RUNS Shoe Talk Show 👟 — a weekly live podcast dedicated entirely to running shoes, where you get honest, practical advice on choosing the right shoe for your body, training, and goals. I'm a qualified running coach, so when shoe choices overlap with training, injury prevention, or performance, I bring that coaching lens too — helping you run better and stay healthier, not just buy smarter.

  • Stop Booking Races Like This | The Mindset Shift Every Runner Needs

    Stop Booking Races Like This | The Mindset Shift Every Runner Needs
    Oct 15 2026

    Chasing the Marathon Majors isn't the only way to become a better runner. In this episode, we talk about why we're stepping away from the big-city majors and looking for fresh races and events in the UK and around the world to reignite our training and racing year. The six Marathon Majors are incredible, but ballots, costs, and repeating the same goals year after year can leave your running feeling stale.


    We share how changing our mindset when booking races has opened up new challenges, from unique UK events to destination races abroad, and why stepping outside your comfort zone can make you a stronger, more motivated runner.
