Since subscribing and playing through the back catalogue I’m beyond inspired. All the guests have great stories on how they first got in to running, the struggles they’ve faced along the way and even health battles they’ve had to overcome. Really puts into perspective how much we’re capable of...Read full review »

The show, guests and running based tomfoolery is second to none. This is more than a podcast, the community the guys have created is unreal. Supportive beyond belief.

Running is what brought us here but has nothing to do with why we stay. Great guests, weekly ParkRun reviews, banter, challenges & droves of mutual support both in life and running. Have a listen and come and join in the fun!

Came across this podcast a while ago through some friends, and never looked back! Basically listening to your mates chat about running, and the funny antics that come with it. Hilarious stories of people running, great guests, and Parkrun sections. Essential weekly listening

Fun, funny and easy to listen to, it’s clear to see the team and the listeners have a real connection. All listeners are likely to get a shoutout and you really feel like a part of the fartlek family, rather than just being another listener bumping up the numbers. Fantastic guests to cover all...Read full review »

After following the What the fartlek instagram page for a while I decided to try out a podcast on one of my runs & now wouldn’t be without it.

A celebration of all types of running from park run to ultras, in a warm and welcoming manner. Also tackles head on issues such as mental health which are so close to many runners’ hearts.
j3lb3ll via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/14/22
I discovered the What The Fartlek podcast via an Instagram post by other runners. It’s a great blend of humour and topical discussions around real runner stories such as mental health, runners safety, and the environment.

Came across this podcast few months ago whilst at the gym. It keeps my mind occupied when on the dredmill ☺️. I have enjoyed every single episode. In a way it feels like you are joining your friends for a great chat and get to listen to so many stories shared by the guests. I have since joined...Read full review »

I found the What The Fartlek podcast after a recommendation from a Twitter pal and it soon became my favourite podcast - the only podcast that I eagerly await the next episode of each week. Based around running (and runners) and including an interview with a guest each week, that was enough to...Read full review »

As the title says , it’s a running podcast with a difference. The difference is it’s done by a normal real life runners who have ups and downs and have created a running community that’s a little different, there’s runners from the casual 5k to the legendary serial ultra runners . Hosted by...Read full review »

Fab podcast and fab people. Matt and Rob have done loads to keep the running community sane over the past year. Honest running podcast that everyone can relate to.

Good chat, good fun, good interviews. Only questionable thing is JP and his coleslaw jacket potato obsession. Have a listen and enjoy
Redrhino1976 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/06/21
This podcast is absolutely hilarious ‘KAKAW’ but also it is truly inspiring with its incredible guests talking about the real highs and lows of running and also mental health. Rob and Matt themselves are inspirational, talking openly and honestly about their running (or not running). Can make you...Read full review »

Fantastic running podcast, not just for the serious runners. Get interviews with a new guest every week. Such a fun community ruining podcast with some challenges thrown in. Keeps me going on my run, but I do get funny looks as I am running and laughing at the same time.
Mightyjoe_UK via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/30/21
Such a genuine podcast, laugh out loud funny, clever advice, moving real life interviews. Perfect companion to my long runs and guys you are really making such a difference to this girls mental health. Just like meeting up your buddies for a catch up.

What a way to bring the running community together, serious chat, fun chat, inspirational stories, great inclusive challenges and Statman John is the star of the show (sorry Rob & Matt)
Run.Grandma via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/15/21
As the title says, this is so much more than just a running podcast. Yes it has inspiring conversations with some amazing people, yes it has some brilliant banter, yes it has stories that are in the news but what it is for me is a running community. It doesn’t matter if you’re an ultra runner or...Read full review »

The ‘What The Fartlek’ podcast encompasses everything that is brilliant about the running community; inclusiveness regardless of how fast or slow you may be, sensitivity through focusing on some delicate topics such as cancer and harassment, but mainly it’s a festival of fun each week. The team...Read full review »

An amazing community who all share a love for running. A little bit bonkers but 100% lovely people full of banter.
Waine6978 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/08/21
Fun pod that doesn’t take itself too seriously at all! Great to take the focus off the miles on a Sunday long run
AJH2009 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/07/21

What an excellent pod cast, 2 local lads so it’s nice to hear a fellow Sheffieldier (although Matt sounds a lot more Yorkshire than I do) and I love the banter
Sean344 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/16/21
Great to hear two ‘real’ people chat about running (& other stuff). Interactive podcast that brings the running community together. Really excited for Season 2 👍🏻

What a revelation of a podcast. Informative, chatty, good banter occasional swearing but an all round good listen for the running community. And the added bonus of some inspirational guests...

These guys are a blast! Love the chemistry.

Great new podcast. I’ve listened to the first two episodes and I’m hooked. A great mix of running related banter and chat with inspirational guests sharing their own stories. Really relatable and easy to listen to.

First time running listening to a podcast this morning. My 40 min ‘easy pace’ run flew in, got home and carried on listening while I made my cuppa & porridge! Well done guys, looking forward to catching up on the other episodes now!
Muriel (Scot living in Spain) via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/29/20
Just listened to episode 3 and I absolutely loved it. The topic really resonated with me. You could tell that Tom was relaxed as a guest and he talked so candidly resulting in an amazing interview. The balance of covering the mental health discussion alongside the other light hearted parts was...Read full review »
