In this episode of Idiots Go Running, Colin sits down with Artemus, the mastermind behind the best bakery in Greece! 🇬🇷🥐 From fueling runners with perfect pastries to sharing the secrets behind the flakiest filo, Artemus gives us the inside scoop on what makes his bakery a must-visit.

We chat about the importance of good food for endurance, the best pre- and post-run treats, and, of course, how many pastries Andrew can eat in one sitting. This one is a feast for the ears—don’t listen on an empty stomach!

We did it, baby! 🇬🇷🏃‍♂️

We made it from Marathon to Athens—26.2 miles of pure history, sweat, and a few questionable decisions. This was Andrew’s first marathon, and let’s be honest, the real goal was survival (and snacks).

Along the way, we took in the sights: the legendary Athenian soldier, the stunning Bay of Marathon, and—most importantly—secured a top-tier pastry and coffee stop mid-race. Priorities! ☕🥐

And where did we finish? Only in the Panathenaic Stadium, baby! The birthplace of the modern Olympics, and to top it all off, we bagged an official marathon medal… from the souvenir shop, but that still counts, right? 🏅

From hitting the wall to race-day magic, finding that extra gear to fueling up with caffeine, this episode is a journey through one of the most iconic marathons in the world—with a full dose of Idiots Go Running chaos.

🎧 Tune in to hear how it all went down!

Thanks for being part of the journey—now let’s keep running like idiots! 🏃‍♂️💨

We made it to Greece, baby! 🇬🇷🏃‍♂️

It’s part one of our Marathon to Athens Adventure, and in true Idiots Go Running style, it’s already been an eventful journey. ✈️ From dodgy travel decisions to high-stakes Rock, Paper, Scissors, we somehow made it to the start line.

But that’s not all—we had the absolute privilege of meeting the one and only Ultramarathon Man, Dean Karnazes, AND Spartathlon’s leading female runner, Jo Manta! Legends, eejits, and a whole lot of running chat.

From hitting the wall to negative splits, fueling strategies to race-day nerves, we cover it all. Whether you’re a back-of-the-pack hero, a mid-pack warrior, or out there chasing PBs, this one’s for you! Buckle up—it’s only just beginning! 🎧🔥

Idiots Go Running - Guest Episode: Patrick Delorenzi 🎙️🏃‍♂️💨

This one’s an absolute belter! Colin sits down with Patrick Delorenzi—an Italian Ironman, Ultra Runner, and Videographer who’s got endurance stories for days! From crushing UTMB Istria 100 to knocking out sub-10-hour Ironman races, Patrick knows how to suffer well and come out the other side stronger.

We chat about pushing through the pain cave, race-day mindset, and how he balances speed, endurance, and adventure. Oh, and his go-to ultra fuel? Naak waffles—because every mile needs a snack strategy!

So, lace up, grab your favourite post-run recovery snack (yes, even if it’s just a pile of jelly like Andrew), and join us for some top-tier running craic with a man who knows how to keep the legs turning over!

Let’s get out there and run like absolute eejits! 🏃‍♂️🔥

In this episode, Andrew and Colin chat about their upcoming adventure to Greece—because running the original marathon route isn’t just about the miles, it’s about the journey (and the snacks). 🥐 Expect plenty of talk about the local pastry shop, strategic coffee stops, and, of course, how Andrew plans to sneak in breaks along the way.

But it’s not all about food! They’re also gearing up to meet ultra-running legend Dean Karnazes and Jo Manta, who finished 4th in Spartathlon! With history, iconic routes, and some serious running royalty, this trip is shaping up to be one for the record books.

Oh, and yes, they do talk about running… eventually. From (questionable) training plans to race day strategies, plus some solid history chat on Rock of Marathon, this one’s packed with craic, carbs, and running inspiration.

🎧 Tune in for the banter, stay for the legends!
