How the F**** Did we become runners?

About How the F**** Did we become runners?

Meet Robert and Ange —two longtime friends who thought "cardio" was a four-letter word until their 50s, when they realized age was more than a number; it was a reality, and they needed to do something to get more out of it. Now? They’re runners - even they are shocked at that sentence. Join them as they dish out brutally honest, occasionally helpful advice about how they stumbled into running (literally), what keeps them lacing up their shoes, and why logging miles together has become the weirdest, most wonderful part of their friendship. Expect laughs, hot takes on chafing, zero patience for toxic fitness culture, and more than a few gasps for breath. This isn’t about marathons—it’s about moving forward, one sarcastic step at a time.

   Running Is Just Shopping with Cardio

   Robert shares his must-have running (and fitness) gear... and somehow forgets the shoes. He also reveals the one piece of running gear he absolutely hates—but refuses to train without. Ange fires back with her own list of essentials, leaving Robert with more questions than answers.

   The Scale Is a Lying Little Bitch

   Robert battles his oldest nemesis: the bathroom scale. Ange shares her perspective as they talk about weight, the "whoosh effect," and Scott discovers there's actually a name for that weird thing people swear happens during weight loss. This podcast is for entertainment and informational purposes only. We discuss topics including running, nutrition, weight loss, and our personal experiences. While Robert is a licensed psychologist, he is participating in this podcast episode as a runner sharing his personal experiences—not in his professional capacity. Nothing discussed should be considered medical, psychological, nutrition, or mental health advice. Please consult a qualified healthcare professional before making changes to your health, diet, exercise, or treatment.

   Damn or was friggin hot

   No guest. No big running breakthroughs. Just Robert and Ange checking in on marathon training and asking the same question after every sweaty run: Why do marathon training plans always peak in the middle of summer? Come for the training update, stay for the heat-induced complaining.
