Dodge, Duck, Lycra, Repeat: Surviving 80s PE in the UK - Episode 10, Season 4

Welcome to another side-splitting episode of our retro rewind podcast, where we dive headfirst (without warming up, naturally) into the chaotic world of Physical Education in 1980s UK schools!

This week, we're talking:

• Why PE in the 80s felt like training for an impending war 🪖

• The absolute terror of forgetting your kit — and the shame of wearing the lost property horrors

• That one muddy football pitch that doubled as a swamp ⚽

• PE teachers who seemed permanently angry and possibly ex-marines

• The lycra epidemic that should’ve been outlawed

• Running cross-country through cold country lanes dodging cyclists and sheep

• And of course, the mythical 30-second warm-up that somehow counted as "preparation"

Get ready for memories, laughs, and mild PTSD flashbacks. Lace up your plimsolls, tighten that headband, and press play — you won't need a note from mum for this one.
