  • What does it actually take to support some of the world's best trail runners?


    Gary and Ben are live from the Chamonix Valley with SportsShoes for a special episode recorded at the launch of the new ASICS Basecamp.


    Joining them is Laurent Ardito, the man responsible for overseeing athlete strategy at ASICS. From supporting elite athletes with nutrition, sports psychology, physiotherapy and performance testing, to managing one of the biggest trail running teams in the sport, Laurent shares what goes on behind the scenes of professional trail running.


    The conversation explores the brand-new ASICS Basecamp in Les Houches, an athlete-focused facility built to support runners training and racing in the mountains around Chamonix. They also discuss the development of ASICS trail products, the rapid growth of trail running, the increasing standard of competition, and some of Laurent's favourite races.


    Plus, while in Chamonix, the lads couldn't resist attempting their own version of Satisfy's famous Circle Pit challenge.


    A brilliant insight into the world of elite trail running and the people helping athletes perform at their best.

  • Rule no.1 of RUNcensored Club - we don’t do podcasts on Zoom.

    Rule no.2 of RUNcensored Club - we definitely don’t do podcasts on Zoom.

    Well… this week we broke the rules.


    The lads have been out in Chamonix filming their own version of the Circle Pit with Satisfy, and rather than leave you hanging another week, we’ve patched together a remote episode to celebrate one thing we couldn’t ignore - Mel Sykes absolutely smashing it at UTS.

    Mel returns to the pod to talk through one of the biggest performances of her running career and how it earned her a place on the CCC start line in Chamonix. The weather, the conditions, the suffering, the highs, the lows and the weird emotional rollercoaster that ultra running seems to drag all of us through eventually.


    We also touch on missing Quid Games in Keswick, throw together a very loose “Top 3”, rather than a “Top 5”, because standards have clearly slipped, and generally chat the usual amount of nonsense along the way.


    Audio quality? Slightly dodgy.

    Running chat? Still elite.


    If you’ve ever doubted yourself before a big goal… this one will hit home.

  • Cheap carbon shoes, influencer trends, and some properly unfiltered running opinions.

    Gary and Ben are back with another mixed bag episode covering everything from Ben’s public apology over a missed yellow sticker bargain to the rise of budget carbon-plated running shoes and whether they’re actually worth it.

    They chat about Jimmy Gressier’s latest European 5K record, the growing competition in the super shoe market, and why they’re still sceptical about £40 “performance” options from Lidl. There’s also discussion around influencer culture in running, smart (and not so smart) race hacks, and the balance between cost and quality when it comes to kit.

    The ChatGBT segment dives into the BPN Backyard Ultra, the debate around women in ultra running, plus listener questions on training, plyometrics, and the maddest kit they’ve seen out on the trails.

    The episode finishes with Gary and Ben picking their top 5 RUNcensored episodes so far, featuring some standout guests from the podcast’s history.

    Raw, honest, and very much off-script.

  • Fresh off the back of the Fellsman Ultra, Gary and Ben are joined by friend of the podcast Rich Lazenby for a very tired, slightly broken, and heavily sleep-deprived episode.


    The lads dive into what makes the Fellsman one of the UK’s most iconic ultra distance trail running events: brutal heat across the Yorkshire Dales, military-level Scout organisation, incredible checkpoint support, navigation decisions, cramp, fatigue, and the unique atmosphere that keeps runners coming back year after year.


    There’s also the usual nonsense along the way including empty Spar shelves, missing San Pellegrino and accusations that producer Chris Davies is avoiding the pod because of football results.

    Ben also found an old, dishelleved carrot in the back of the fridge that looks (and probably feels) just like Gary right now.


    A proper post-race debrief from one of Britain’s most historic ultras.

  • It starts with football, drifts into OAP care duties, and somehow lands on one of the most important trail events in the UK right now.


    Gary and Ben chat Fellsman prep, crewing plans, and then get stuck into SheUltra™ in North Wales - nearly 2,500 women, brutal conditions and a proper community-first approach to racing. No ego, no obsession with times, just people showing up for something bigger.


    Along the way there’s Spar reviews, Wetherspoons action, and a look at the recent RunThrough Lake District Ultra which served as a selection race for the middle-distance GB team.


    Unfiltered running chat. As always.

  • Another Chat GBT episode - where the listeners ask the questions and Gary and Ben take it wherever it goes.

    From early chat about weather, Covid and Gary’s obsession with sniffing freshly made wooden gates, things eventually get into running - including a proper discussion around the TCS London Marathon potentially moving to a two-day format and what that means for the sport.

    Listener questions cover the Leeds United running kit, thoughts on brand collaborations, whether RUNcensored would ever do one, and a push to get Hannah Cox from Project Salt Run on the podcast.

    Gary also gives an update on his Fellsman training, and the lads share which running Instagram accounts they actually enjoy following.

    The episode finishes with the TOP 5 feature - this week focusing on the best running and ultra-related YouTube videos and documentaries (with a few curveballs thrown in).

    Looking ahead, RUNcensored Live heads to Oswestry on 17th April, and both Gary and Ben will be at She Ultra on 11th April, organised by Huw Williams - with Gary on socials and Ben bringing the Barnsley Briefcase.

  • A proper mixed bag this week - from trail running headlines to full-on orienteering chaos in Edinburgh, plus a look behind the curtain at brand-led running trips.


    Gary and Ben chat through some of the latest stories, including a bizarre Strava incident involving a French aircraft carrier heading to Iran and a standout canicross 5K world record. There’s also a measured look at recent developments around Ourea Events and what it could mean for races like the Northern Traverse, with early signs of runners already heading back out on the route thanks to James Elson stepping in.


    Then it’s onto the Old Town Showdown in Edinburgh, presented by SportsShoes' Quid Games and British Orienteering. Expect fast decisions, chaotic racing, clever course design from Edinburgh University Orienteering Club, and a rapid 30-minute winning run from Finley Todd.

    Ben also shares his experience testing the Mizuno Neo Accera in Gran Canaria and gives his take on modern trail shoe tech and brand launch events.


    Real talk, real running, no filter.

  • How dirty is too dirty after a race? And would you really go straight from a fell run to a wedding without showering?


    In this Chat GBT episode (Gary Ben Trails), we answer your questions - from whether performance nasal strips actually work, to wearing new shoes straight out of the box, and what it really takes to train for VKs (Vertical Kilometre races).

    It quickly descends into some properly grim stories from the trail and fell running world - including fell runner James Logue’s infamous towel that’s somehow survived decades without seeing a wash.

    We also get into running icks, Ben’s chaotic messaging habits across every platform going, apps beyond Strava like MapRun and Navi Tabi, and finish with a Top 5 guilty pleasures in running list that gets weird fast.

    Unfiltered, honest, and exactly what you’ve come to expect from RUNcensored.

  • Ever wondered who’s responsible for all those little moving dots during races like The Spine Race?

    In this episode of RUNcensored we’re joined by James Thurlow from OpenTracking – the company behind the GPS tracking used at many of the UK’s biggest trail and ultrarunning events including The Spine Race, Northern Traverse, The Fellsman and Arc of Attrition.

    James explains how OpenTracking grew from tracking small cycling events to managing thousands of devices across major endurance races. We talk about the evolution of dot watching, why reliable tracking matters for safety and race management, and how the technology has changed the way races operate.

    We also get into some of the stories behind the system: runners accidentally taking trackers home, devices running out of battery in the early days, messages that convinced runners not to quit, and the moment OpenTracking had to shut down messaging during The Spine Race after abuse was directed at runner Sarah Porter.

    It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the infrastructure that now underpins modern ultrarunning.

    If you’ve ever refreshed a tracker map at 3am during The Spine Race, this one’s for you.

    Ben’s just landed back from Transgrancanaria and there’s plenty to unpack.

    Ben shares what it’s like working with SportsShoes, the North Face Explorer team UK and the SportsShoes Pro Alpine Trail Team (PATT) while also racing himself - plus juggling work and event logistics.

    We also dive into the bigger conversation currently happening in the UK trail scene: the newly released routes for Ultra Trail Snowdonia. Gary explains the history of the event, why the routes have changed, and the frustration and debate that’s followed.


    Expect race stories, behind-the-scenes insights from major events, brand activations, podium performances, and the usual RUNcensored mix of honesty and running chat.

    We go behind the scenes at the Montane Winter Spine Race.


    This week we’re joined by Mel Sykes from the media team at The Spine Race to talk about the reality of running and working on one of the toughest ultras in the world. From long days in brutal conditions to the pressure of turning content around quickly, this is the side of races most people never see.


    We chat about the runners, media and support crews, the growing demand for race content, strange things runners do in ultras, and whether being on camera changes the experience.

    Plus: audience questions, checkpoint food debates, death threats, and whether Mel would ever run and work on the Spine again at the same event.


    We also chat about upcoming races like The Fellsman and future Spine plans, including an entry for next year from previous podcast guest Ellis Bland.


    Raw, honest, and very RUNcensored.

    Winter trail running is fun… until it isn’t.


    Gary House and Ben Mounsey share gripping, funny, and sometimes terrifying stories from the UK trails and fells. From hypothermia in races to rescuing lost hikers and strangers in the Lake District, this episode is packed with essential lessons in kit, preparation, and accountability.


    The lads break down the gear you actually need for winter runs - like waterproofs, hand warmers, bivy bags, and microspikes - while sharing personal tales of dehydration, navigation mishaps, and racing extremes. And one of them (guess who!) also recounts the unforgettable moment of waking up in an emergency tent full of semi-naked men.


    If you want real-life trail running advice, survival tips, and laughs along the way, this one’s for you.

    From Ben’s mobile Nursing Home to Go Karting chaos, yellow sticker bargains, Vinted confessions and wild storytelling, nothing is off limits. We talk New Year’s resolutions (or not), Spar heroics, and upcoming races like Transgrancanaria, Zwift training, orienteering and more.


    Key questions are answered too: Does Gary still do hairdressing? Who would we love on the pod in 2026? What is Ben's best ever yellow-stickered bargain? And are there any low-key races worth checking out?


    All the usual RUNcensored nonsense, banter, and very loosely running-related chat.

  • From making a handful of hats to Tom Evans winning UTMB in a VÅGA cap.


    In Part 2 with Ellis Bland, we dig into the real story behind VÅGA – how it started, the risks, the mistakes, and the moments that defined the brand. We talk hustling at races, becoming a fabric-first brand, resisting hype culture, and why making bombproof kit for long days out matters.


    Ellis shares the full UTMB story with Tom Evans, the Red Bull collaboration, and the exclusive news that VAGA is now producing headwear for Red Bull athletes globally. There’s also honest chat about Brexit, international expansion, grassroots athlete support, and staying local while going global.

    From racing Borrowdale and Wasdale to beating Rob Hope with a 4:42 final mile, Ellis talks fell running legends, club vests, pub banter, and why fell running is built differently. We get into ultra success, the fear of DNF’ing, spinal injury, body dysmorphia, and the moment Ellis had to accept he might never run again.


    There’s also some mention of VÅGA, supporting athletes quietly, and why sometimes the best runs never make the headlines.


    Unfiltered, reflective, and very real.

    Gary and Ben unpack this year’s Montane Winter Spine Race, the brutal winter conditions, unforgettable runner stories, and why neither of them would ever sign up. From exposed bones and 100-hour finishes on barely any sleep, to dot watching obsession and media crews living the race alongside the runners.

    There’s also chat about the National Running Show, ASICS, SportsShoes’ new women’s pro race team, the Elsey Davis Circuit of Cornwall film, UTMB documentary news, and what the future holds for the Spine.

    Honest opinions, dark humour, and a lot of respect for anyone mad enough to take it on.
