EP17 - Running Heroes, Pizza Fuel & The Great Tights Debate (ChatGBT Q&A)

Episode 17: Running Heroes, Pizza Fuel & The Great Tights Debate (ChatGBT Q&A)

In this latest ChatGBT episode of the RUNcensored Podcast, Gary House and Ben Mounsey take on another round of listener-submitted questions—and no topic is off-limits.

From debating whether real runners should wear tights, to revealing their most ridiculous fuelling choices (yes, McDonald’s and pizza), this one is packed with honesty, laughs, and surprisingly useful advice.

The pair also chat about:

• Their ultimate running heroes

• Race day mistakes (including a legendary Three Peaks error)

• Urban orienteering

• Pre-race prep and early start times

• Night running and when to fit training in

• Whether you really need to be specific with your sessions

• Gary’s unexpected background as a hairdresser

Whether you’re a seasoned ultra runner or just here for the banter, this episode is classic RUNcensored—unfiltered, unpredictable, and way too honest.

What You’ll Hear:

• Who we’d love to run with (dead or alive)

• Gary’s past life as a hairdresser

• The truth about tights: yay or nay?

• Fuel fails and the weird stuff we eat pre-race

• Night running and training logistics

• Coaching tips and race-day specifics

• Big love to trail heroes like Killian, Jim, and Francois
