This week on Chasing The Finish, Ben explains the chaos behind his handicap-style Parkrun Cup — where maths, pacing and pure luck somehow all matter at the same time. Meanwhile, Mike continues the quest of “just trying to run consistently†without his legs filing a formal complaint. We also take a look at the rapidly stacking running calendar, with races, parkruns and questionable recovery decisions coming t...
In this episode, we chat about the incredible Mental Health World Cup at Watford FC — a brilliant event showing the power of football, community, and talking openly about mental health. Expect heartfelt moments… quickly interrupted by the usual nonsense. We also officially launch CTF Running Bingo Season 2 — because apparently normal running wasn’t chaotic enough. More challenges, more questionable ideas, ...

Mike is chasing the mythical sub 40 5k (spoiler: his legs have other ideas), Mike makes his long awaited run club debut (nerves? yes, stretching? debatable.) and we spiral into a full blown existential crisis over... which parkrun to do this weekend? Expect: - Questionable pacing strategies - Bi...
