Mid Run Chat with Amy & Suzie
The Mid Run Chat with Amy and Suzie is a podcast for runners who are ready to rethink everything they thought they knew about training. Two old Uni friends — now in their 40s, juggling real life, real bodies, and real wisdom — explore what it means to run with intention rather than obligation. Each episode dives into the messy, honest, and surprisingly empowering process of re‑training ourselves: unlearning outdated rules, tuning into physiology, navigating hormones and life shifts, and rebuilding a relationship with running that actually fits who we are now. Expect honest reflective conversations, practical insights and plenty of laughter. Whether you’re returning to running, reinventing your training, or simply craving a more mindful approach, this is your space to slow down, think deeper, and run smarter. Thoughtful miles. Honest chats. Running, reimagined.

It's been a busy week with Amy and Suzie experiencing the two contrasting ends of the training and racing spectrum.
Amy surprises herself by putting herself on a start line with no grand plan and ends up racing the people around her rather than her watch. A 36:23 10K later, she’s left wondering how far you can go when you stop micromanaging pace and just get on with racing.#

Suzie kicks things off with her weekly hot‑cross‑bun fuelling fail — the one that left her shivering at a bus stop and panic‑buying an £8 fleece just to survive the journey home.
Meanwhile, Amy reveals the diet that shocked her physio and completely flipped her shopping habits on their head.
Together, they dive into how their pre‑session rituals, mid‑run gel choices, and post‑session recovery favourites have evolved as they&r...
Rest over rated or essential ? Why do so many coaching books — from Jack Daniels to Arthur Lydiard — barely mention it? Is it the mindset that a coach’s job is to fill every day with training? Or the old belief that a good night’s sleep is enough recovery to go again?
Suzie and Amy sit down after a weekend of racing — Amy taking the win at her local cross‑country (with the kids collecting medals too),...
Suzie and Amy kick off 2026 with a brutally honest catch-up: creaky bodies, acupuncture experiments, osteopath verdicts, and the reality of running through midlife. But this isn’t just a chat about aches — it’s a deep dive into how our definitions of success and consistency have radically shifted since our Loughborough Uni days.
Back then, ticking every box on the training plan was the gold standard. Now? We&rsquo...
How many races can you really fit into a year without blowing up your marathon training? This week, we discuss planning a race calendar, the temptation to over‑commit, and how what a realistic season may look like when you want strong training blocks and personal bests.
