They're bad, they're boys, and occasionally they talk about running.

Yes, it's the Bad Boy Running podcast with your host, Jody Rainsford, and David Heller.

Come back.

Baby, come back.

But a bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.

I must admit I was a clown to be messing around.

But that doesn't mean that you have to leave town.

Come back.

Do you, Batters.

Next guest does need a huge amount of introduction.

And Nick, the editor, is going to have a weird time of today because we've already been talking to him for about 25 minutes, having a wonderful time. And actually it would be quite good to include that. But if you don't know who Jim is, then, well, you definitely know who Jim is. It'd be really weird for you to listen to us and to this if you know who Jim is, but he's one Western Tate states a million times. He's got the record.

He's got the 50K, 100K record. He's done a huge amount of incredible running. So welcome to the podcast,

Jim Wobsey. Weigh.

Yeah, thanks so much for having me. Happy to be here. Our pleasure. Our pleasure. Well, we quite like to go back to the basics of runners and figure out the journey through to the start of the awesomeness.

Because a lot of runners have quite unexpected stories of how they discovered their speed or their joy for running.

Like, where did, where did yours start?

I guess mine started maybe, like, like the absolute origins would have been kind of the

soccer football team I played for growing up. I basically played until I was about 16 years old.

And even when we were 13, 14, we came out to the UK for 17 days and played a bunch of the clubs out there.

And I mean, still to this day, I'm sure that most of the clubs we played were using ringer, older players.

What kind of level was this? Do you remember which clubs?

I mean, we played Fulham, I think, an Arsenal, like legitimately divisional team programs.
