  • Everything You Wanted to Know About Running (But Were Too Afraid to Ask!) – with Helen Thorne & Emma Campbell

    Everything You Wanted to Know About Running (But Were Too Afraid to Ask!) – with Helen Thorne & Emma Campbell

    QUICK SURVEY – TELL US WHAT YOU'RE LOVING: We’re running a short survey to get to know you better—so we can keep making the kind of episodes you actually want to hear. Takes 2 mins, promise: https://ex-plorsurvey.com/survey/selfserve/550/g517/250305?list=3 MY GUESTS THIS WEEK: HELEN THORNE & EMMA CAMPBELL This week, I’m joined by two of my brilliant friends – Helen Thorne and Emma Campbell – to talk honestly about running. But not in the elite-athlete, £200-leggings, nutrition-plan kind of way. This is about resentment runs, running in your pants, and crying in the middle of a 10K. Helen – one half of comedy duo Scummy Mummies – only started running at 39. She’s now completed nine marathons and all six of the world’s major races. Emma is a writer, a mother of four (including teenage triplets), and a secondary cancer patient who discovered running in the middle of chemotherapy. Together, we talk about why running feels so hard to start, how it can help you heal, and the joy of doing it imperfectly. We cover everything from chafing solutions to playlist rituals to learning how not to give a toss about what you look like in lycra. Whether you’re already a runner or the idea of jogging makes you break out in a rash, this episode is a celebration of movement on your own terms – and of the strange magic that happens when you put one foot in front of the other.

Deborah, also known as Bowelbabe, broke taboos, inspired millions, and changed how we talk about cancer—one brutally honest Instagram post (and poo emoji outfit) at a time. Since her death, Ben and Sarah have kept her legacy alive through the Bowelbabe Fund and are now training for the London Marathon in her honour. We talk about why so many of us still feel too embarrassed to talk about poo, how early detection of bowel cancer can save lives, and the bittersweet joy of remembering someone you love and miss every single day. Together we celebrate Debs, whose motto was clear: live life, loudly. ⸻ 🚽 TOILET TALK – THE VIDEO SERIES Toilet Talk is a bold new video series from the Bowelbabe Fund and Cancer Research UK—featuring celebs on a neon-lit loo, smashing taboos one laugh at a time. 🎥 Watch now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_C_mAqiC58 ⸻ 💩 CHECK YOUR POO! https://www.bowelbabe.org/ Debs saved lives by saying the unsayable: check your poo.
