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.

Don't know.

If you recognise our next guest's name, it's probably because you came to the

Rhin Show South and saw him there.

Mike is someone who we should have got on the

podcast a long, long time ago, but by virtue of being a friend of mine, I guess I've never

objectively stood back and thought, oh my God, why have we got Mike on? He's incredible. But Mike

is actually the reason, really, why I did Comrade's Marathon because he he did it before it was cool years

ago he was on his 10th from when you popularized it you popularized comrades is that he did he's like

jaded to the marathon de saps you know he's that level but um not only is he since doing his 10th got into the the G.B. 24-hour team, but he's recently started, for what I can tell, is the first, not necessarily professional, but the first ultra, actually, maybe it's not even ultra. The first race team in the UK does not sponsored by a brand, but actually is just focused on performance. Probably focused on an auctioner, but we're going to find out about all of those things. So welcome on the podcast. The wonderful, oh, Andy Scott, I'll mention the book as well, Mike. I remember that. I remember that. One track mind. We've talked about on the party previously. Jane and I have both had it. Both read it. So welcome the podcast. The wonderful Mike Stocks. Yay. Yay. Thanks, guys. Thank you, David. I've been sitting here by the phone all these years waiting for the call and at last. Just absolutely, yeah, thrilled to be here.

I was one digit out, Mike. What a nightmare, eh? What a note, what a note, man.

That four to seven, the reason you could be is. If I'm not on by like episode 5,000 or something, I'm not far off.

How are things for you currently in North London?

Yeah, good, good, pretty good.

Obviously, lots going on, as you said, with the team and all that kind of thing.

But, yeah, otherwise, leafy North London, most of the trees are still upright after all the storms and yeah life is good
