Sam Morley - Running a 34K "Half Marathon" at 13, Trading HYROX for a Sub-3 Marathon

October 21, 2026

Paul catches up with Sam, a HYROX athlete, ex-rugby player and the very first person to run alongside PKS RUNS before it was even a thing. The two met in Auckland, New Zealand, between 2005 and 2008, when Paul was working at a church and Sam was a skinny 13-year-old. Sam entered the Auckland Half Marathon's 10K, ran the half instead, missed the turnoff after the finish, and ended up running about 34 kilometres before heading home.

Rory was 31, smoking and drinking his way through a decade in the print trade, and in a dark place. He went for a run in his work clothes, managed 100 steps and passed out. Within a year...

JP KING (AGAIN) - What do you call someone running on a treadmill?

September 30, 2026

JP is back — this time behind the mic as guest co-host after their planned interview guest (an ultrarunning "legend" JP refuses to fully spoil) had to reschedule. What follows is less structured interview, more unfiltered running-nerd hangout: two grown men trading injury stories, dodgy stats, and increasingly strong opinions about traffic lights.JP kicks off with a fresh Achilles niggle after switching shoe brands mid-training and a barefoot-adjacent misadventure running sand dunes...
