The Bailey And Harding Ultra Sound System (Allie Bailey and Anna Harding)

It's episode 18 of The Bailey And Harding Ultra Sound System and both Anna and Allie have some race debriefs from the weekend (of two very different races). They chat about how, as runners, we have the ability to perform questionable maths when the struggle bus comes a honking. And we have a question about the lyrics of a seemingly tame song on the playlist, and it's not Limp Bizkit's Chocolate Starfish, but may have similar connotations... There's also some useful nuggets around toilets (or lack of) at races.

Welcome to Episode 42 of the Bailey and Harding Ultra Sound Sytem! This week we're celebrating 53,000 downloads - all of them down to you wonderful people - so THANK YOU! However, what goes up must come down and in this episode we find bimbling, Beyonce and backyard ultras fighting it out for the space between Grim and The Bin. As well as all that we've got a playlist update and a load of excellent correspondence to get through, plus a little game of Never Have I Ever - ENJOY!

In this very special legends episode Allie chats to Alan Bateson AKA The Running Monk about his journey from alcoholism to ultramarathon runner.

We recorded this a year ago (I KNOW RIGHT??) and have been sat on it waiting for another bank holiday, but we thought we would release it now even though its been a while because it's got some super important themes in it and Alan is just bloody inspiring isn't he. Sorry it's a bit out of date - we will do a follow up if you like this one! Let us know!

In this Legends episode, Anna interviews Jimmy Watkins, co-founder of The Running Punks.

Jimmy is a former GB athlete - who, in his own words, quit for rock & roll. In 2006, our guest reached the 800m final at the World Indoor Championships in Moscow, having clocked a PB and Welsh indoor record of 1 minute 47.23 seconds in the semifinals but despite his incredible talents on the track, Jimmy ran his last full season in 2007 - before pursuing a career in music. He went on to have considerable success as the frontman of rock band Future of The Left and The Vega Bodegas. And got back into running in 2019 - documenting it with regular social media updates and through his own podcast, ‘Megabus To The Ritz’.

Here Jimmy talks to Anna about everything that got him where he is today, the importance of music on a run and why he's no longer allowed in altitude tents. Grab a cuppa and sit in a safe space - this one is absolutely hilarious.

There's the usual Hall of Fame/Hall of Shame plus the return of the best feature ever, "Know It Hall" featuring the Pennine Way. In addition, like a cherry on a lightly disappointing cake, we've also got some correspondence in the corner from you lovely people.

Welcome to episode 43 of the Bailey and Harding Ultra Soundsytem! This week Anna bids a sad farewell to her competitive running career for now, retiring in style at the winter 10km while Allie messes about in the Lake Ditsrict and pretends it's training. We've got the usual chat about blisters, toenails space invaders and tapon plus we ask are we too judgemental about Dryrobes? But the big news of the week is WE HAVE A NEW jingle. I mean we say new...we've got A jingle and it's awful. Enjoy!

As the year begins to draw to a close, Allie is still out of the office sunning herself in the Philippines, so she and Anna have mopped up all of the scraps from previous episodes that got cut, because they waffled on too long, and have stuck them all together to create this Out Of Office episode. There are various cameo appearances from friends of the pod, including an update from Podcast Pet Dean. Remember to keep sending us your stories from the trails or on the run.

Welcome to The Debrief!

This week Allie talks to Dean Cox - otherwise known as the podcast pet - about his epic journey from half marathon runner to 100km finisher.

Back in 2023, Allie and Anna picked Dean from obscurity and have been training him in the dark arts for the last 30 weeks in order to get him to the start and hopefully the finish on the London to Brighton 100km race. Here Allie and Dean talk about the training plans he followed, his highs, lows and what he learnt on this 30-week journey, plus he chooses three songs for the playlist.

Proper inspiring stuff, this. Prepare to get teary.

There's a wild Biscoff u-turn, AI's taking over and some grumbles about over-zealous councils fining for wild wees. We also catch up with how the Podcast Pet is getting on.

This week we are thrilled to be joined by journalist, book editor and commissioner and extremely incredibly good ultrarunner Kirsty Reade!

Kirsty has basically done every hard race ever including Dragons Back, Cape Wrath, every single European mountain race ever invented and she's funny and she hates all the same stuff as we do. This week we ask what the heck is going on in Madeira, rant about binfluencers (again) and we launch BAILEY AND READE INVESTIGATE - the investigations arm of the podcast.

Welcome to episode 58 - the first of our maternity leave episodes with super host Damian Hall.

This week Allie gets to know Damian and all his weird secrets. Who else mentions they "helped" with a double Paddy Buckley at the weekend without mentioning that by help they meant "ran most of a Paddy Buckley"? Overachieving nonsense as always from his end. We also discuss ideas for features (Allie's are better than Damo's), oily race companies and naughty hikes. Don't forget to send in your questions for Damo for next month's LOL fest!

Welcome to Episode 48!

This week we're back to normal - well, as normal as we get. One of Allie's clients has found something quite disturbing on a run, Anna's making a 90's fashion statement with her new wrist splint, and we're throwing kit in the bin - which is quite unlike us. We've got some excellent boob-related correspondence and sorry guys but we're clamping down on the cheesy playlist vibes. Enjoy!

There are a number of crimes to be investigated today, including a trades description act issue re: what an ultramarathon actually is, a fraud case involving verts, a suunto watch and a world class athlete's ego, and we ask just why are so many medical professionals (vets, doctors and nurses) so good at endurance running?

If you have a crime, you'd like us to solve, send it over via email, DM or any of the other channels.

Allie and Anna look back on 2023 and all of the highs and lows of the Bailey and Harding Ultra Sound System. Episode 30 is full of nostalgia (does it count as nostalgia if it's only 6 months old?), as they give the podcast - and YOU, the listeners - an appraisal. As well as looking back, they're looking ahead to their running goals for 2024, and have a look through your goals too - great for some inspiration of what races to enter!

Welcome back to the Bailey and Harding Ultra Sound System, and episode 27 of silliness. Anna's been back running along the canal, which prompts a conversation between the pair of them about how they feel about going back to the scene of ultras they've run before. More songs, that have a bit of a 90s theme, are being added to the playlist. They're getting smooshy with your responses to what ultra running has brought you, And they FINALLY put the debate of what to call Kipchoge snot rocket gels to bed.

This week we are chatting dinky donkeys, hypno-techno, and insomnia. Sounds like we've spent a weekend clubbing, right? WRONG! One of us is pregnant and the other one's just angry. The pod couldn't go by without a rant about UTMB and their mysterious dynamic pricing (we'd love to know your thoughts on that), Anna has a revelation about The Gummy Bear Lion King being the lead singer of Toto and we answer some burning questions in correspondence corner.

Episode 81 is here and it features an in-depth investigation into why the media is telling us we either DO hate running or we SHOULD hate running in order to be good at it.

Bailey and Reade showcase the piss-boiling evidence and discuss the possible reasons around this utter nonsense. There's also some correspondence from you lovely people and a saucy chat about womens sexy running underwear (it's not saucy, we just put that in for the search hits)

The Bailey and Harding Ultra Sound System is half a year old!!! It's episode 26! Allie's in Cornwall and doesn't feel awful, 'cos she's not dying, although she did fall over and bash her knee. Anna's been living her wins vicariously through other people again and the pair of them discuss the hot running topics of the week; using ketchup as gels (don't do that) and the new Trail Ultra Majors series.

Episode 67 is here, and I honestly don't know what to say about it..... it's an interesting one for sure. This week Damian Hall takes the reins (badly) in an attempt to get back at Allie's public shaming of him last month when he failed to score more than 1 point on the Barkley Marathons quiz. Her specialist subject? The life and times of Take That. There's also some useful stuff in here - great coaching advice on how to train for hilly runs when you live in the flatlands, how to run down hills and what the heck is aerobic fitness and how do we build it? Keep your correspondence coming in on the usual channels and if you like what you hear share it with your friends!

Episode 66 is here and it's a Bailey and Reade investigate special as we ask why, on events with mandatory kit, are some peoples bags so much smaller than others?

Kirsty has been on a mega holiday (if you can call it that) in Italy and Allie has been fucking about in the Lake District pretending to taper, but both of our heroes have kept their heads to the ground sniffing out the ultra-stories that need investigation.

This week it's bags. We get a bit of expert insight from friend of the pod Robbie Britton, some not expert insight from Allie and find out what Dan Lawson packed in his UTMB bag. There's also a bit of cheat chat, a playlist addition and some stupid questions. If you have something you would like us to investigate, you know what to do.
