Meet Robert and Ange —two longtime friends who thought "cardio" was a four-letter word until their 50s, when they realized age was more than a number; it was a reality, and they needed to do something to get more out of it. Now? They’re runners - even they are shocked at that sentence. Join them as they dish out brutally honest, occasionally helpful advice about how they stumbled into running (literally), what keeps them lacing up their shoes, and why logging miles together has become the weirdest, most wonderful part of their friendship. Expect laughs, hot takes on chafing, zero patience for toxic fitness culture, and more than a few gasps for breath. This isn’t about marathons—it’s about moving forward, one sarcastic step at a time.

    Part 1: Chris Montgomery the Running Coach/Active Odysseys Founder Who Turns Vacations Into Marathons
    Jun 26 2026

    Part 1 of our conversation with running coach and Active Odysseys founder Chris Montgomery!

    This week, Robert and Ange figure out how the hell Chris became a runner—and why he keeps convincing the rest of us to do it too. Chris shares advice for "master" runners (because apparently "over 40" needed a rebrand), talks about training smarter, and explains how Active Odysseys helps runners chase marathon finish lines around the world while making lifelong friends.

  • Changing the Narrative

    Changing the Narrative
    Jun 19 2026

    In this episode, Robert makes a surprising realization: he actually likes running again. After months of setbacks and recovery, the joy of running has finally returned.

    Meanwhile, Ange is back in marathon training after Edinburgh didn't quite go as planned. Because apparently the best response to a tough marathon is signing up for another one.

    The pair also dive into narrative therapy and how the stories we tell ourselves can shape our running journeys—for better or worse. From comeback stories to unfinished chapters, they explore how changing the narrative might just change the outcome.

    Join them as they catch up on where they are now, why they're still doing this to themselves, and what comes next on the never-ending journey of becoming runners... again.

  • The Winter of Robert's Discontent

    The Winter of Robert's Discontent
    Jun 12 2026

    After carrying injuries into the winter, Robert spent months doing the least fun thing a runner can do: recovering. The journey back challenged him physically and mentally, but also brought steady progress, new perspective, and plenty of hard-earned wins along the way.

    But somewhere during the comeback, something unexpected happened. Robert started finding his love for running again. Not because of pace goals or race medals, but because he remembered why he runs in the first place. Step by step, mile by mile, he wasn't just recovering—he was becoming a runner again.

    Now, feeling energized and motivated, he's set his sights on the New Orleans Marathon. Because apparently runners never learn.

    Join Ange and Robert as they talk recovery, resilience, rediscovering the joy of running, and what comes next.
