44. George Rickwood: The UK's Most Unhinged Runner... 21.05.2026 1h 18minJoined this week by one of the greatest enigmas in the UK running space... Mr George Rickwood. Earlier this year he caught the internet's attention by running an extra kilometre every single day for 66 days (this resulted in back to back 400km weeks...) as part of Gymshark's 66 in 66. An achievement he followed up with a backyard ultra victory in Brighton & a 2:48 marathon time. Generational athlete and all round top bloke.

TWICE! 30.04.2026 1h 17minJoined on monday morning by my fiancé, Issy to debrief on what was a truly historic London Marathon.

Congrats to Issy for pulling out a massive 25 minute PB, an incredible day out there. We also saw the first TWO humans go SUB 2 hours in the same race... a truly record breaking Sunday. Well done to everyone that ran & supported.*we said 'women's world record' - we meant 'women's only world record' (apologies)Calum's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calumgoddard/Issy's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/issysedgwick/?hl=enWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0nNkuS_WWmK0tRPwbfoXLQFollow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@motionalintelligencepodFollow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/motionalintelligencepod
