Guys this episode is getting me too pumped to train harder again. Holidays training with superstars in Jamaica, feeling like your old self as a runner and having ambitious goals… absolute magic. Love the energy and love the inspiration, thanks :)
My wife and I met Andy at Southampton parkrun today. Great guy and had a cool little chat with him. Thank you for taking the time Andy, really appreciate it.
On hydration - consider time as well as distance! Slower runners are going to be out for much longer time even over a 5km or 10k distance so water may be required, especially in warm climates.
Do come to Australia! I might be biased, but the Sydney Marathon has some of the best and most iconic views: crossing the Harbour Bridge, running along the foreshore of Pyrmont and The Rocks, out for a lap of Centenial Park then coming back into the city for a run through the Domain and the finish line at the Opera House. It's not the flattest marathon in the world, so you probably won't be setting any PBs, but it is one of the most beautiful runs you can do.
LOL thank you so much for answering my questions! The vest question was because I was thinking of buying one for my first marathon . But so far I've never felt the need
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 glad you enjoyed your visit here, it would be lovely for the team to come out for the annual Negril Half Marathon in December it's a lot cooler then 😂! Great podcast!!
What I didn't know until after this year was that the first ever Barkley marathon finisher was also a British fellrunner. That lot are a different breed, I've done a few fell runs and always come out of it with some injuries and/or mental trauma.
Always love this show, such good banter and running advice in equal measure. You should try and get one of the team a place in the Berkeley Marathons in Gloucester in August!!
At the risk of falling into the category of an ultra weirdo…I am sock, sock, shoe, shoe guy but with a massive gap from the socks to shoes. I generally put the socks on maybe an hour before the shoes go on, all the prep time, stretching is done in full kit minus the shoes. Watch is 100% left Would love to join you all in Malaga at the end of the year! Count me in!
Thank you for talking about how Jasmin Paris became a unicorn. Her achievement is incredible and was extremely thrilling to watch (through browser refreshes of Keith Dunn's tweets.
In my everyday clothing for work, I'm a sock sock shoe shoe. In my running attire, I'm a sock shoe sock shoe mainly because I don't want to touch the floor with my clean running sock. I never wear a hydration vest or carry water and also never pee'd myself during a run. Those things may be related, sorta.
Sock, sock, shoe, shoe when at home cause the shoes stay in the hallway. At a race, sock, shoe, sock, shoe to prevent socks getting dirty. Greetings from Daniëlle (Femke Bol country)
yall came for Rick this episode 😆😆 I hate the debate about the hydration vest 🤣 glad that my side of instagram is all pro-vest for whatever reason you want it. I highly support letting people do whatever they want as they seem fit, but tiktok feels like a place where they want to dictate what is right and proper? (not just for running but with a lot of things).
I would love to be able to do the Málaga marathon with y'all. I'm mainly a triathlete now, but my big triathlon is in July and I'm looking to switch my focus to fully running afterward maybe do a half marathon/full marathon by December, and I'll be in college in Spain so Malaga would be perfect timing and location for me. Y'all will have to keep us updated, but I've loved listening to the podcast, you guys have kept me motivated as I've gotten back into running and being fit overall, and doing that marathon with y'all would be so incredible!!
More insanity - putting on: right sock, right shoe, left sock, left shoe; tie right shoe, tie left shoe, making sure the laces are perfectly straight (and same length). Taking off: both shoes (doesn’t matter which one first); either tucking the laces into the shoes, or putting the left shoe’s laces to the outer left of the shoe, and the right shoe’s laces to the outer right; then the socks (order doesn’t matter). Also, lefty wearing watch on left wrist.
Congrats on that time Andy! I think a fast 5k would be really interesting. Would love if Sarah could try it too so we could see how they both train for it.
i've watched the Andy's 1k video. And Im still amazed on how he's fast. And he doesn't look to go that hard. It must have been hard to race against him. All the folks being red and out of breath, then Andy.
As much as it pains me to say it being a proud Melburnian you should look to show some support to the Sydney marathon as it’s in the process to become a major in the future, would tie in well as a tour down under just don’t forget to visit Melbourne while your at it 😎
Olympic distance triathlon for Andy! Really I’d love to see any of the presenters do any triathlon but I think an Olympic distance will be a big enough challenge to be worth a video series.
I just want to say it doesn't matter about sock-sock-shoe-shoe or sock-shoe-sock-shoe (though s-s-sh-sh is definitely more correct) what REALLY matters to me is BOTH shoes must be on before I start lacing, so I can properly match the tightness on each foot. -Mark from Markham
I do either sock sock shoe shoe or sock shoe sock shoe depending on context. For example, am I sitting down to put my shoes on or am I standing up and sliding my feet in. This winter I've been wearing double socks and trail shoes for the snow and then it's sock sock slipper slipper in the house and the slippers come off and it's left sock layer two left shoe, right sock layer two right shoe. Also in terms of watch wearing, I just got a xl stretchy watch band so that I can wear my watch on my ankles (I switch back and forth) because I kept getting it wet and it started to stink up my wrist. No amount of washing and disinfectant made a dent in the grossness.
I mix things up. Sometimes sock, sock shoe, shoe. Sometimes shoe, sock, shoe sock, But always the left foot first. With regards to hydration vests etc - if I'm going to be out for more than 90 minutes or so, I take at least 500 ml with me. Generally I drink 500 ml an hour.
Please come to Aus!! Also im sock sock shoe shoe. BUT I noticed I do sock shoe sock shoe sometimes when I want to see if I can balance on one foot for a while.. And I am watch on the right now because I got a tattoo sleeve on the left and it fucks with the HR. Devastating!
How about an episode on training kids. I have 9YO twins who I run with year round. 3 x 3km easy for most of the year. 1 x 2 km tempo, 1 x 1.5 time trial, and 1 x 3 k easy with a few hill pickups during their racing season.
A half marathon in spain in december??? sign me up get away from the cold. Normally I am sock sock shoe shoe, but after the gym in the changing rooms due to normally having a wet floor I then do, sock shoe, sock shoe.
On the back of the sock sock shoe shoe thing, I'm a sososhsh myself. With summer incoming and lighter evenings, what's best and which are you, shades or cap or shades and cap (aka shady chaps)?
I’m right handed and wear my watch on my left wrist (which I think is the most common, to wear on your non dominant hand), but my husband is left handed and wears his watch on his left wrist. We both have Apple Watches, and I swear he gets more movement and exercise points because of wearing his watch on his dominant side than I do and it drives me crazy!
And I’m a sock shoe sock shoe person if I’m putting them on at the same time😬 but honestly most of the time I go to put on shoes to leave my house I’m already wearing socks, so by default then I’m also a sock sock shoe shoe person.
Sock sock shoe shoe. Also, i live in the tropics but only take a hydration vest for runs around 20km. Anything 15-20km i'll usually just take a little soft flask in my flipbelt and anything less than that i just hydrate before and after.
How about a cross country event for Andy? Though I'm interested in seeing how well he can improve his middle distance times more than subjecting him to something stupid like ultras or triathlon
Sock shoe sock shoe, yes am not bothered about going barefoot (Asian). Also found that I can brush off my foot, put on sock and then shoe without getting sock dirty. Then brush off the other foot - sock - shoe. So both feet and socks are clean and the inside of the shoes too. win win win 🙂
It does, but it’s easy to miss. After the run Andy is talking about his watch time being 2:37 and then the announcer says 2:39, and he says something like “oh they’ve added 2 seconds, I guess it’s 2:39 then”
It's not looking good for me in the shoe or watch debate! 😂 I'm sock, shoe, sock, shoe (we have a drooly dog, dont want my socks getting wet!)...and I wear my watch on the right wrist (had a wrist reconstruction many years ago after breaking my left wrist, can't bear to wear a watch on it now). So...weirdo all round I guess! 😂
Guys this episode is getting me too pumped to train harder again. Holidays training with superstars in Jamaica, feeling like your old self as a runner and having ambitious goals… absolute magic. Love the energy and love the inspiration, thanks :)
That’s so kind of you to say! Let us know how your training goes 🙌🏻
My wife and I met Andy at Southampton parkrun today. Great guy and had a cool little chat with him. Thank you for taking the time Andy, really appreciate it.
On hydration - consider time as well as distance! Slower runners are going to be out for much longer time even over a 5km or 10k distance so water may be required, especially in warm climates.
You forgot one thing about the Barkley...it is a DOUBLE everesting. Estimated at something like 56,000 feet of elevation gain.
You three just have way too much fun on these podcasts episodes. Great stuff 🇨🇦
Regular muppets sense of humor. That’s why we love it.
I’ve definitely wee’ed on myself at the end of a hard effort. Sarah you’re not alone! (Also I’m sock sock shoe shoe)
Do come to Australia! I might be biased, but the Sydney Marathon has some of the best and most iconic views: crossing the Harbour Bridge, running along the foreshore of Pyrmont and The Rocks, out for a lap of Centenial Park then coming back into the city for a run through the Domain and the finish line at the Opera House. It's not the flattest marathon in the world, so you probably won't be setting any PBs, but it is one of the most beautiful runs you can do.
Yes a 5 k would be a challenge but mix up a bit. 5k cross country race! Good luck.
Sarah, were you implying he has changed from Andy Baddeley "the jogger" into Andy Baddeley "the runner"... lol
Great podcast, luv it! Cheers all!
Yes! Thank you!
LOL thank you so much for answering my questions! The vest question was because I was thinking of buying one for my first marathon . But so far I've never felt the need
Andy is back… 💪🥇
Did he ever leave? 😂😂
YES! Come to Australia! 🇦🇺👍
We'll put the gavi on ice.
So. I am left handed and have always worn my watch on the right wrist. Because you need your more dexterous hand to do up the strap
I'm right-handed and I wear my watch on the right wrist because I've never been able to fasten it with my right hand (I know it's weird haha)
I’m definitely up for doing the HM in Malaga. Leave Rick, I don’t fancy a cold 😀
Haha shall we do a straight swap?
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 glad you enjoyed your visit here, it would be lovely for the team to come out for the annual Negril Half Marathon in December it's a lot cooler then 😂! Great podcast!!

And New Zealand, please!
Love this channel - so fun and inspiring! I'm doing the Malaga marathon (my first ever marathon) so exciting to hear that you guys will be there too 🎉

Watch is 100% left
Would love to join you all in Malaga at the end of the year! Count me in!
For the 5km challenge, perhaps do the top ten hardest parkruns in the UK, finishing at Great Yarmouth when the sand is very dry.
Thank you for talking about how Jasmin Paris became a unicorn. Her achievement is incredible and was extremely thrilling to watch (through browser refreshes of Keith Dunn's tweets.
I have actually been looking for a decent sleep mask if Rick has one he can recommend??
In my everyday clothing for work, I'm a sock sock shoe shoe. In my running attire, I'm a sock shoe sock shoe mainly because I don't want to touch the floor with my clean running sock. I never wear a hydration vest or carry water and also never pee'd myself during a run. Those things may be related, sorta.
I like wearing my vest for runs. As it is more comfortable than the belt i have. Which i also use. It just depends on the run and what i am doing.
Sock, sock, shoe, shoe when at home cause the shoes stay in the hallway.
At a race, sock, shoe, sock, shoe to prevent socks getting dirty.
Greetings from Daniëlle (Femke Bol country)
Efteling fan? :p
Suddenly feeling very motivated to do my first half marathon in Malaga. Sounds like a great. experience to be had if a novelty Irish man is needed.
yall came for Rick this episode 😆😆
I hate the debate about the hydration vest 🤣 glad that my side of instagram is all pro-vest for whatever reason you want it.
I highly support letting people do whatever they want as they seem fit, but tiktok feels like a place where they want to dictate what is right and proper? (not just for running but with a lot of things).
I'm gonna start wearing my 30L fastpacking vest on my 20 minute easy runs just to piss them off t(^_^t)
I was genuinely asking. Didn’t know much about the hate until the podcast. But if I do end up with one I’m so taking it shopping 😂😂
I would love to be able to do the Málaga marathon with y'all.

Lefty with left wrist watch here! 🎉
Phily Bowden mentioned in her Houston marathon video that she did, in fact, pee herself during the race rather than stopping.
Yes that's what made me ask the question!
For your next challenge, how about challenging the Run Testers, or other running vloggers, to a marathon or other distance?
I put my sox and shoes on at different times (sox now, shoes later), so sock sock shoe shoe. thanks for the entertaining motivation!
I do sock shoe sock shoe to stop my socks from getting dirt caught up in my sock when changing foot.
Yo! Watching Andy, Sarah, and Rick from Spain - Puerto Banús to be precise, Malaga 🇪🇸
Did my first ever run on a track last night. It is so different
The 4 6 and 800 should be in the convo for hardest distances to run
Congrats on that time Andy! I think a fast 5k would be really interesting. Would love if Sarah could try it too so we could see how they both train for it.
It's no big deal Sarah, I wear the same kit for running and S&C for a week which is 4 to 7 activities across 4 days 😁
😂
Andy you’ll have to do another one you’ve go to see if you put more training in you can run faster. Looking forward to it good luck 👍
i've watched the Andy's 1k video. And Im still amazed on how he's fast. And he doesn't look to go that hard. It must have been hard to race against him. All the folks being red and out of breath, then Andy.
I'm left handed and wear my watch on my right wrist so I can use my left hand to push the buttons.
Always fun. Stand Up comedy shows upcoming?
IronMan, Andy!
Ooo now that would be fun for us… not him though 😂
If he does a marathon sub 3h, he will not have a problem slaying the Ironman :-)@@runningchannel
I’d be happy to even see a shorter distance triathlon. Like an Olympic distance would be both a reasonable goal and really fun to see!
Yes!! Please come to Australia 😊
2:39 was an incredible effort Andy. I wonder if you could still get below a 4 min mile or a a 4:10 mile?
As much as it pains me to say it being a proud Melburnian you should look to show some support to the Sydney marathon as it’s in the process to become a major in the future, would tie in well as a tour down under just don’t forget to visit Melbourne while your at it 😎
I’m up for that marathon In Malaga 🏃🏻💪😎👍
You would all be welcome in Melbourne, Australia.
I wear my watch on my right wrist! I tried on the left, but kept knocking it on things. Probably to do with being left handed.
Absolutely, sock sock, shoe shoe, tie shoe tie shoe, as opposed to including a tie in my running apparel
Olympic distance triathlon for Andy! Really I’d love to see any of the presenters do any triathlon but I think an Olympic distance will be a big enough challenge to be worth a video series.
I just want to say it doesn't matter about sock-sock-shoe-shoe or sock-shoe-sock-shoe (though s-s-sh-sh is definitely more correct) what REALLY matters to me is BOTH shoes must be on before I start lacing, so I can properly match the tightness on each foot.
-Mark from Markham
Is there any update on the ice bath that was discussed a few weeks back? I can’t actually remember who won the prize out of Andy and Sarah!?
I do either sock sock shoe shoe or sock shoe sock shoe depending on context. For example, am I sitting down to put my shoes on or am I standing up and sliding my feet in. This winter I've been wearing double socks and trail shoes for the snow and then it's sock sock slipper slipper in the house and the slippers come off and it's left sock layer two left shoe, right sock layer two right shoe.

With regards to hydration vests etc - if I'm going to be out for more than 90 minutes or so, I take at least 500 ml with me. Generally I drink 500 ml an hour.
Speaking of 5k, Andy. Here's a possible target 14:26, which is NZ's fastest parkrun time, set by Luke Scott a couple of years ago at my local course.
I want to do a Pintxo tour with Rick in Spain.
Please come to Aus!! Also im sock sock shoe shoe. BUT I noticed I do sock shoe sock shoe sometimes when I want to see if I can balance on one foot for a while.. And I am watch on the right now because I got a tattoo sleeve on the left and it fucks with the HR. Devastating!

It can be a bit frustrating sometimes to be able to get a pair of shorts with suitable zipped pockets
Right handed & right hand watch
A half marathon in spain in december??? sign me up get away from the cold. Normally I am sock sock shoe shoe, but after the gym in the changing rooms due to normally having a wet floor I then do, sock shoe, sock shoe.
So what’s the score with the Malaga marathon Andy didn’t really say ? We would love to join you guys!
Haha, Phily Bowden spoke on her vlog about peeing herself during the Houston Marathon (and how cold it made her after) - so some people absolutely do!
As a sychopath I would like to inform you that sock sock shoe shoe is my preferred dressing routine.
You know who you really need to get on the pod? Lazarus Lake!
Leave Rick at home. Too high risk for getting sick again. The guy always has a common cold.
Haha very true!!
Watch on right wrist Sarah. And can Andy get his GB vest for 1500m vets
It honestly depends on the day if I do sock sock shoe shoe or sock shoe sock shoe. Never thought about it 😂
On the back of the sock sock shoe shoe thing, I'm a sososhsh myself.
With summer incoming and lighter evenings, what's best and which are you, shades or cap or shades and cap (aka shady chaps)?
31:45…I love Rick
I’m right handed and wear my watch on my left wrist (which I think is the most common, to wear on your non dominant hand), but my husband is left handed and wears his watch on his left wrist.

"It's too common for him" XD
Hilarious 😂
sock, sock, shoe, shoe, right first, left second, double knot
Sock sock shoe shoe. Also, i live in the tropics but only take a hydration vest for runs around 20km. Anything 15-20km i'll usually just take a little soft flask in my flipbelt and anything less than that i just hydrate before and after.
I’m a triathlete, so it’s “ shoe shoe”!!!!
Yes come to Australia 😁
How about Lanhydrock parkrun?
How about a cross country event for Andy?
Though I'm interested in seeing how well he can improve his middle distance times more than subjecting him to something stupid like ultras or triathlon
I have missed something somewhere... What's sock sock shoe shoe and sock shoe sock shoe?
Definitely sock sock shoe shoe!
Ok, but what about sock, sock, shoe, shoe, tie, tie vs sock, sock, shoe, tie, shoe, tie?
Definitely shoe, shoe, tie, tie!
would love to see andy take on a 3k steeple 😌
Sock shoe sock shoe, yes am not bothered about going barefoot (Asian). Also found that I can brush off my foot, put on sock and then shoe without getting sock dirty. Then brush off the other foot - sock - shoe. So both feet and socks are clean and the inside of the shoes too. win win win 🙂
i would like to see how close Andy could get to his best 1500m time
Watch wrist? It's usually based on dominant hand--the opposite. Which means about 10% of people are Right, and the rest of y'all are just wrong.
I'm shoe/shoe/sock/sock...a real maverick.
What do you guys think about barefootshoes when it comes to running?
I would love to see some content about that! ❤
It’s definitely sock shoe sock shoe and the socks can’t touch the floor.
Barkley Marathons for Andy.
He might not last long 😂😂😂
All about the weekend in Spain but no Rick please 😂😂😂
Can Andy get the parkrun 5k back?
Sock sock shoe shoe. In the winter it goes sock sock sock sock shoe shoe.
Sorry Sarah, I wear my watch on my right wrist 😂
The video does not specify his time
2:39
It does, but it’s easy to miss. After the run Andy is talking about his watch time being 2:37 and then the announcer says 2:39, and he says something like “oh they’ve added 2 seconds, I guess it’s 2:39 then”
Sock shoe sock shoe 🎉
Isn’t Andy 41? Not 42?
It's not looking good for me in the shoe or watch debate! 😂
I'm sock, shoe, sock, shoe (we have a drooly dog, dont want my socks getting wet!)...and I wear my watch on the right wrist (had a wrist reconstruction many years ago after breaking my left wrist, can't bear to wear a watch on it now).
So...weirdo all round I guess! 😂
Socks on first and then the shoes. So, sock, sock, shoe, shoe. Left wrist for watch.
