Strange Running Habits: Pre, During & Post Run!

What weird things do runners do before, during, and after a run? In this episode of Idiots Go Running, Colin Goodman, Andrew Goodman, Matt Knaggs and Nick Weston get into the strange little habits that come with running life.

From pre-run toilet plans and race morning routines, to mid-run quirks like Matt playing drums and air guitar while running, to post-run recovery habits, this one is full of the kind of running chat that makes perfect sense to runners and sounds completely ridiculous to everyone else.

If you love running podcasts, marathon training, ultramarathons, race day prep, long run chat, fuelling, recovery, mindset, and the funny side of endurance running, this episode is for you.

• Strange running habits

• Pre-run routines

• Toilet strategy before a run

• During-run quirks

• Air guitar and drumming while running

• Post-run recovery habits

We recently had the absolute privilege of sitting on the Ireland AM sofa to share our story.

When you are told a wheelchair could be in your future, it changes everything. It changes how you see life, how you see time, and how you choose to move forward. For us, it meant lacing up our running shoes, getting out the door, and chasing every mile we could.

In the full audio from our interview, we talk about how a shared Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis connected us from opposite sides of the world and led to one enormous goal — running 350 miles, the full length of Ireland, in a bid to set a Guinness World Record as the fastest team with MS to complete the crossing.

This is more than an ultra endurance challenge. It is about friendship, resilience, hope, and proving that life does not stop after an MS diagnosis. You might have to change your pace, but you do not stop moving.

Every training run, every long run, every sore leg, every early morning, and every brutal mile is carrying us closer to our goal of raising £100,000 to help fund vital MS research and bring us one step closer to a cure.

Whether you are an ultramarathon runner, a marathon runner, someone training for your first 5K, or someone facing a battle of your own, we hope our story reminds you that progress is still progress — and that even the toughest road can be taken one step at a time.
