Thoughts on a RunEpisode 69: You can only do your best on the dayThese Mooneys are about to get marthony with it. On the precipice of the biggest run of their lives, Hannah and Missy kick things off with some irrelevant clown chat (but like, what WOULD your clown name be??). In a monster episode this week, Missy dives into the mysterious myth of the lurkings in Loch Ness and unlocks some of the lore around the Loch Ness Monster. Hannah unpacks the savoury custard sensation that is our pre-race tradition of hooning a quiche, and just like a fancy fishy quiche, there’s a lot going on in this episode. Some mi...2025-06-0544 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 68: “I’m gonna make you a friendship toe ring”This week is a truly jingly, jangly, bangley and revolutionary episode. Hannah realises that the Moon is not a planet (spoiler alert, it’s a moon). While the gravitational force on the Moon is less than Earth’s, Hannah’s Moon(ey) facts have some weight to them! In addition to getting a bit pitchy with her musical interlude, Missy weaves in some chat about friendship bracelets. As per, there are many pointless side quests, e.g. if the Sun and the Moon wore hats, what kind of hats would they be? 2025-05-2940 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 67: We can do HARDER thingsFresh from the Huntly Half Marathon 2025, Hannah and Missy are absolutely cooked, munted, zonked, and bonked. What was hoped to be a redemption tour was instead their hardest run to date. Luckily, your fave hoonys can do even harder hard things! Tune in for the post-race debrief, Missy’s thoughts about the great Kiwi pie (remember, always blow on it), and Hannah’s running gel yap. Shout out to Roam, who’s energy nut butters straight up slay, For fructose's sake, get amongst it!2025-05-2238 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 66: “I wanna talk about the avocado real quick”This week, Hannah had a bit of a toilet episode, and Missy has the revelation that “I need to actually listen.” The chat may be dry, but Hannah’s history of lip balm may just be our SALVation. You don’t want cracked lips, but we promise this podcast is crack-up. Missy puts the miss in mystery as she pays homage to the crime queen herself, Agatha Christie, and although she can’t say phenomenally, Missy lays out more facts than a detective novel and just as many twists, turns, and misdirections.2025-05-1546 min
That's The TicketThat's The Ticket - 13-05-2025Carving in Ice Theatre returns to That's the Ticket as Hannah Mooney discusses new verbatim play, Digital Afterlives with fellow castmates Missy Mooney and Simon McArthur.2025-05-1354 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 65: We have become sidetrackedThe pipes are cool, and so are we (not Hannah, though). Running in the chucking rain is the absolute pits, but this episode slaps. For the record, Missy said the wrong thing, and Hannah circles back (when is she not). Nothing is puzzling about Missy’s crossword chat, and Hannah's carbon fibre-plated super shoe jibber-jabber is teeter-totter, tip-top..Clue: Ideas no one asked for during cardio (8,2,1,3)Solution: Thoughts on a run2025-05-0843 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 64: “Always pull the finger”This week's episode is cracking, creaking, snapping, clicking, cackling, and popping off. We begin with a couple of long-winded stories about the various shenanigans Missy puts Hannah through. Hannah then changes gear and pedals through everyone's favourite mode of transport, the tandem bike. Let’s chuck these yappy lasses on a twin bike already! Missy gets crunchy as she once and for all addresses the popular conception that cracking your knuckles gives you arthritis (spoiler alert, it doesn’t). Served with a saucy side of utilitarianism.2025-05-0243 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 63: Eating peas with your feet“I didn’t look it up because I didn’t want to”. Yep, that just about sums up this podcast. Just like an ultra-marathon trail run, this episode is full of ascents and descents. Missy gets into the wilderness of the gruelling Barkley Marathons (biggest shout out to Jasmine Paris, absolute GOAT who proved that women ARE strong enough!). Hannah wraps up the record with some record chat (of the Guinness world variety) as she, with some help from best mate Dave, lays out the process of setting a world record. Ft. some tomfoolery, too much singing, a jaunty toot, bl...2025-04-2444 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 62: Did you know Barbie used to be a mime?Despite initial scepticism and resistance ( 👀Missy), this episode shapes up to be a banger (which is consistent with the brand). Hannah doesn’t read a list but delves into the three conventions of mine (all of which I have sneakily hidden in this ep description). Missy adds some colour to the chat and rattles off some facts about everyone’s favourite anatomically incorrect yet ultimately inspiring Barbra. That’s right this is the Barbie episode! 2025-04-1740 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 61: Just in a constant state of hoo-haLock in because we’re running in the rain! Hannah’s blister situation is a bit manky, but this week’s thoughts are swanky. Missy brings the living, the laughing, and the loving as she gives some chuckling good context to everyone’s favourite universal language: laughter. Basically, it’s a sound out of your face. Hannah Mooney, or should we say humour memey rolls out a meme-ingful discussion of the history and function of memes. She then plays to her strengths by listing some classic memes and yes, describing pictures on a podcast.2025-04-1038 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 60: A bit of a grammar twistBonk, donk, conk, clonk, thonk and buckle up for your fave April fools. Hannah says “anywho” 3 times (which is 3 too many times) because “that’s how sweaty it be-getti.” Missy may be a bit loosey-goosey with a hyphen - but is there anything more powerful than an Oxford comma? Don’t worry, Hannah tells you all about it. Then, a hard right turn culminating in “right, now we’re pointing at your elbow on a podcast” as Missy gets on your nerves, specifically your ulna nerve as she labours the point of the funny bone.2025-04-0341 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 59: “Gotcha conk”Although Missy can’t hook Hannah up to a polygraph machine, this episode will hook you up with some info about the misleadingly named lie detector test. Spoiler alert: a polygraph measures your arousal - but not in bom chicka wah wah kind of way, just in a heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate kind of way. Don’t crocodilly-dally and get amongst it! Hannah drops some snapping good facts about your fave fierce friends (or fiends???) with long muscular tails. That’s right, crocs vs gators. How many crocodiles should safely occupy a lift simultaneously? Probs just one at a t...2025-03-2739 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 58: Hannah Hooney Hero of the Half!Fresh from flying through the Hamilton Half-Marathon 2025, these Mooneys be hooneys. They’re also absolutely cooked! What a run. Beautiful day, beautiful vibes, and now, a beautiful episode of Thoughts on a Run. Hannah and Missy unpack their race with what is arguably too much detail (you’ve been warned). They do manage to squeeze in some thoughts with Hannah slinging some hard hitting running themed would-you-rathers. Missy gets ding dong down with the origins of the PB bell. Fun fact: Missy quite likes a cow bell (I mean, truly, the bell of the people). 2025-03-2041 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 57: Mystery FishStructure relocation served with a side of fish and chips. This episode is a “bit of a motley mix but in a positive way.” Missy takes the phrase ‘moving house’ literally as she considers why New Zealanders are so obsessed with uprooting, transporting, and redepositing houses on trucks. Hannah offers some food for thought (or thoughts of food) serving up the history of fish and chips. It all comes back to Charles Dickens - featuring a vocal cameo from Gandalf the Grey.2025-03-1336 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 56: Sidetrack PodYou may not have time to smile but you do have time to listen to episode 56 of Thoughts on a Run. Fresh from their fun-day Sunday long run, Hannah flags the ins and outs of the game every millennial played but never really understood: Minesweeper. Missy coincidentally stays on the digital theme and considers the increasingly global paralanguage of emojis. So sweaty and so silly, we’ll seal you soon. There’s even talk of everyone’s favourite font (wingdings). Look, just get amongst it.2025-03-0640 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 55: It’s just a foot sack at the end of the dayMethinks this episode is 100% groovy cool beans and a good shout. Missy reaches the apex yawn point and has a gaping good gasbag about the study of yawning. Hannah is a good little house elf, as she (allegedly) gives 100% of her intention and attention to the backstory of the sock. There’s rhyming, alliteration, singing, contagious yawning, and a lot of foot chat which is, at this point, unsurprising.2025-02-2745 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 54: Thicc Phat Chonky ChalkWill an apple a day keep this podcast at bay? Absolutely not. Is the knowingness of your knowledge more knowing? That sentence does not make sense, but we promise this week's episode does. While our abs are not yet shredded, Hannah’s chalk chat is more interesting than Missy thought it would be. Missy goes bananas about apples and we both learnt things this episode - but do we know them? Well, it all comes back to chalk, guys.2025-02-2040 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 53: Happy Birthday, SonAfter a whole year of yapping, Thoughts on a Run is one! Hannah and Missy mark this milestone with a special announcement (don’t get your hopes too high, it’s not that cool). Missy slays on theme and gives some insight into the surprising origins of the ‘Happy Birthday to you” song. Hannah pops a 180 and for some reason chooses this episode to talk about skateboarding. Warning: this episode includes both the kit and caboodle AND the whole shebang.2025-02-1341 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 52: Cool Banans“Come in confident and believe in yourself out the gate.” Hannah does just that and cracks straight into it with some sleep-talking chat (although, promise we’re both awake). Missy goes wide with Wikipedia waffle. In the 20+ years that Wikipedia has existed it’s become increasingly more reliable and accurate. Can the same be said of Thoughts on a Run? Probs not. Bonus features of this episode include the fact that Missy is now on Strava and Hannah makes a donation live on air!2025-02-0644 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 51: Buckle down, Buckaroo, and never ask Missy “how are you?”Is there anything more stressful than someone saying ‘how are you’ instead of ‘hello’ in passing? After some light arguing and an unprecedented discussion that searches for the true meaning of kindness, Missy delves deep into the Paris Catacombs. Hannah pulls a hard right turn and gives a bucking good summary of both The Beep Test and The Bronco Test. (Don’t worry there’s a list).2025-01-3042 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 50: This isn’t really a running podcast - not reallyTwo truths and a lie:
Hannah finished her cup of tea.
Hannah’s got great legs.
Hannah reads a list in this episode.
Joke’s on you, they’re all true! This week Hannah talks about wedding anniversary milestone gifts (I know very random). Then bear with as Missy gets wippee for whoopee cushions and has a gasbag about everyone’s favourite gag gift. Feat far too much side content on flatulence - PSA fam, never hold in a fart.
2025-01-2337 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 49: My Roman Empire is…Apropos of nothing, Missy and Hannah reveal the random thing they think about often and they offer VERY different vibes! What’s wooden and sticky? A Hydrangea in Winter. Missy cultivates some riveting chat about every Mum’s fave flower, the good old hardy hydrangea. Hannah takes things down a notch, below sea-level in fact as she gets to the bottom (figuratively) of the lost city of Atlantis. Ps. How many times can Missy say “alternating”? The answer is too many times.2025-01-1635 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 48: Candle handle the dingle dongle?“I can’t remember what I’m talking about or why I started doing this” (Mooney, 2025). Ain’t that the truth! This weeks episode is lit. Hold on to your wicks while Hannah sheds some light on the history of candles. Following this enlightening and illuminating chat Missy hopes you get this toot round ya snoot as she tells you all about snoring…hopefully it doesn’t put you to sleep. Served with the expected amount of sibling squabbling, silliness, and singing.2025-01-0938 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 47: “Extra-special birthday banger new years episode with a dash of Christmas”2025 be feeling fresh and your friendly neighbourhood lose-leaf old bags are back with scores of new thoughts for you (well, two thoughts, because that’s the general format of the show). In addition to Missy-splaining what ‘TV’ stands for Missy lays down some Scrabble chat. Meanwhile, Hannah, aside from making bold claims such as declaring she could represent Aotearoa at Bananagrams, answers the age old question of milk vs water first when concocting the perfect cup of tea. Feat a long-winded story about shoe sizes that absolutely no one asked for and the phrase “on the bag.”2025-01-0240 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 46: What the figgy pud is going on?“So, like, what was your point?” Believe us, know one knows. Despite Hannah gaslighting Missy about historical dates, the final episode of 2024 is far from willy-nilly. With trademark celebratory silliness, Hannah (tries) to give the origin story of Xmas pud (you didn’t say they’d be custard!). Missy brings that big spinster energy as she has a jolly good yap about twelfth night. 2024-12-2638 minThat's The TicketThat's The Ticket - 24-12-2024Dr Missy Mooney joins Hannah on That's the Ticket for the last episode of 2024! Tune in to hear two Mooneys reflect on the year that's been and more.2024-12-2456 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 45: The one where we have THE SAME thought on a run!Shut the front door!! It’s finally happened. Hannah and Missy’s twin minds and souls have collided and they had the same thought on a run. What is this momentous thought? You guessed it…traffic lights (the on-road traffic control system kind). Why are your fave podcasters getting lit to illuminated traffic signals and electromagnetic induction loops? Listen and find out. Warning, this episode includes some pretty cringe traffic light puns.2024-12-1940 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 44: “All the vacuums have faces”Listen to Hannah and “make way!” for a post-holiday episode of Thoughts on a Run. In a slightly unconventional episode, bear with us as we try to remember how to do our own podcast. Fresh off the plane and fighting off jet lag your best silly billies talk favourites, fails, firsts, flights, festivity, fanny-packs, and five guys as we recap and reflect on our recent trip to the UK.2024-12-1240 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 43: Sugar pie, super glue. You know that I love you“We're festive, we’re fun, we’re gonna share some thoughts from our run(s).” Screw your courage to the sticking place and hang in there as Missy commits hard to the invention of super glue (cos PVA was the pits) as an interesting thought. Hannah then sweetens things up with a dusting of facts about different types of sugar.
Feat the deepest Les Mis reference you’ll hear this side of the french revolution2024-12-0534 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 42: High-tops, low-tops, raven-topsEver tried doing a tailwhip on a Razor scooter? Neither. Some say, “think of the children!” Hannah says, “think about your ankles!” as she serves some tip top chat on the benefits of high-top and low-top shoes. Missy takes things to new heights as she gets into the legend and lore of the Tower of London ravens. P.s. Hannah possibly does some of the best singing she’s ever done on the pod.2024-11-2839 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 41: When the whistle blows or the hooter goesYah girls went bananas at Round the Bridges and got some good numbers for the 12km race. Best mate Hannah Mooney even got a personal best! First up and fresh off the course, Hannah’s “just gonna talk about bananas” while Missy has a wee bit of a chat about the bridges of Kirikiriroa Hamilton (topical). We have some reflections, a bunch of laughs, Missy throws shade at Hannah’s ‘fun facts’, and of course we sing the songs that no one asked for. 2024-11-2139 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 40: Teletronic SuperdomeWhat do Hannah falling over and the hit late-90s children’s tv show Teletubbies have in common? They’re both trippy! This week we really raise(in) the bar as Hannah regales us with the harrowing tale of the recent tumble she took while out for a run. While raisins, sultanas, and currents are dried grapes, Hannah’s chat is far from dry as she gives a quick rundown (or should I say runner down) on the difference between the fruits. And goodness grapeness does Missy have a blast delving into the psychedelic wonderland that is Teletubbies. 2024-11-1440 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 39: “Once more for the pod, manglewurzel”Will-o-the-wisp is latin for ‘foolish flame’ and your fave fools and twin flames are back at it. In this gourd-geous episode Missy gets pumped about pumpkins as she lights the way through the history of Jack-o’-lanterns. Hannah gets going on the true MVP of our time: the humble traffic light drink. Served with a side of too many Sound of Music references.2024-11-0737 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 38: Hand games and hieroglyphsRock, paper, scissors. Scissors, paper, stone - however you wanna say it, we’re down to play it. Hannah gives the 1,2,3 on the history of paper, scissors, rock. Speaking of rock, Missy gets down with everyone’s favourite slab (the Rosetta Stone) as she barely scratches the surface on ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Served with a side of Jacket Potato chat that no one asked for and Missy would like to formally apologise for saying “gee whizzy my shizzy.”2024-10-3138 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 37: The one where Hannah served in Missy’s hatSneeze safety is no joke but this podcast sure is. Missy has a corking good time waffling on about messages in bottles. Hannah puts the rock and roll in Rolling Stone as she tries (and fails several times) to correctly say ‘Rolling Stone’s The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time’. Feat some singing and SO MANY side bars! Moo deng, sneezing, historic royals, and potatoes, what more do you want from us?2024-10-2440 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 36 Find the beauty in ordinary things and wear sunblockListen up kids - whether you’re a fighter, flighter, freezer, fawner, filmer or faller, this week’s episode of Thoughts on a Run has got something for you! Hannah gets into the nooks and crannies of jump scares and startle responses. Missy makes a 90 degree turn and lays out the parallel and perpendicular past of knolling (your favourite Instagram trend that you’ve never heard of).2024-10-1741 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 35 Shiver me shammy clothShiver me jinkies! Your scallywag besties are back. Missy gets down into the deep, dark, briny depths of shipwrecks. Hannah gets the collywobbles and gives a shimmy for the shammy as she dives into the origin of why divers use shammy cloths.
And yes, every time we say ‘ship’ it sounds like ‘s**t’...perhaps it’s funnier that way? Anyway, make sure to pop your ‘p’s kids.2024-10-1039 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 34 “I think that smell might be me”Is that a fresh snag sizzling on the barby or is Missy wearing a smelly top? (Spoiler alert, it’s Missy). This episode is a banger. Hannah explains the differences between street classifications, why is a street not a road…because it’s a crescent? Missy really gets cooking with the legend of the great Kiwi pastime - the humble sausage sizzle. Sorry the audio is a bit shit…but do you really expect anything less?2024-10-0337 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 33 - Greyt HAIRlarious chatLike the intertwining helix stripes of a barber’s pole, Hannah and Missy’s thoughts are in sync this week. Missy gets into the grisly origin story of barber’s poles and Hannah gets to the root (or should we say follicle) of grey hairs. Do it for the biscuits (save lives, give blood) and stay curious about all these random things! 2024-09-2637 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 32 - Splurgle means bowl (in a technical sense)What’s black and white and read all over? This weeks episode! Hannah tries to settle the “is black a colour or a shade?” debate, which (for some reason makes Missy angry). Missy tells a haunting tale about Goosebumps, not the physical phenomenon but R.L Stines’ literary sensation! Plus did you know we’re an Olivani household?2024-09-1938 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 31 - Dino feed the Pigeons in Venice“What does operate a cow mean?” Your guess is as good as ours. Hannah has a clucking good time trying to figure out which came first, the chicken, the egg, or the dinosaur? While Missy relays some weird laws and how many times does Missy say “it’s interesting” - many, many times.2024-09-1241 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 30 - Is that sleep in your eye? Nah mate, it’s a double rainbow.Can you name all the colours of the rainbow? Hannah almost can. This week you get TMI, we’re talking eye discharge, farting, spitting, and phlegm with a side of weather chat. Hannah gets down and dirty in the world of ‘sleepy dust’ while Missy (figuratively) gets to the bottom of the double rainbow. Served, as always, with a big old side of silliness.2024-09-0537 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 29 - Tin cans under Disneyland“Anyway, so I’m just gonna tell you some stuff about tin cans” (M. Mooney, 2024). If this direct quote doesn’t have you hooked nothing will! For some reason Missy pops the tab on some drink can/tin facts. Hannah goes deep underground in search of the secrets of the tunnels under Disneyland *insert spooky The X-Files theme music*. 2024-08-2942 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 28 - The one where we really put the world to rightsGuilt, sympathy, scones, judgement, intensity, projection, cruelty, Raygun, objective and subjective interpretations of art, we really cover a lot of ground in this episode and work through some stuff. Plus Hannah attempts to shed some light on the paralympics (leessshhh go) and Missy gets down and dirty in the auditory world of misophonia. Feat H Money’s first singing solo on the pod.2024-08-2244 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 27 - Blisters and supersitions have entered the chatAll the worlds a stage, so never say Macbeth. In a blistering episode Hannah talks theatre superstitions and Missy pops off with some blister chat. To pop or not to pop, that is the question. 2024-08-1536 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 26 - Mer-babes and Gar-gurlsThe Mooney’s get myth-y with it. Hannah sings a siren song with a deep dive on mermaids (feat backup vocals by Missy) and still can’t say abdomen. Missy spouts off some stone-hard facts about gargoyles. The chat is magic, mediaeval, fishy and grotesque - what more could you ask for? 2024-08-0837 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 25 - And it burns, burns, burns, this runner's stitchMissy gives her hot take on the the Olympic Torch Relay while Hannah-coluthon (a word Missy made up) weaves together a tale about runner’s stitch - the burning, stabbing pain kind, not the sewing kind. We are a cauldron of chaos and just like the Olympic flame, our passion for singing badly cannot be extinguished.2024-08-0135 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 24 - Alchemy and blow hornsIs ‘tit’ a swear word? Your fave blowhards spend far too long blathering on about this. Served with a side of alchemy and the origin story of the megaphone. I mean who doesn’t love a good ear trumpet?2024-07-2535 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 23 - Squid ridden seas and spelling bees“You’re not going to have a small squid with a huge mouth.” Catch up with your favourite big mouths as Missy gives you the the skinny on giant squidies and Hannah brings the buzz on spelling bees. Ps. we’re defs guna open a pub call “the squid's arms”2024-07-1838 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 22- Arms, legs, and mannequinsYour favourite dummies are back. We’re talking heads, shoulders, knees, toes and running with the same arm and leg. Ever wondered when, why, and where mannequins were invented? Neither, but here you go.2024-07-1139 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 21 - Freeze your brain and leave the light onGhost lights, brain freeze, Hannah and Missy getting way too intense and having a little fight about efficiency - this episode has it all. It’s illuminating. It’s frosty. It’s straight up the episode no one asked for. Yet, here we are. Get amongst it, because you are kind, you are smart, and you are important! 2024-07-0439 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 20 - The musical episode feat a side of biology and astronomyHey, hey! We made it to the shortest day. Hannah han-splains daylight savings and Missy talks twin-handedness. This episode gets righty-fighty because Missy throws shade on tunes on a run. But we also get lefty-loosey-goosey and sing waaaay to much. 2024-06-2740 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 19 - Missy Munter and Hazard HooneyThis week's episode is the one you didn’t know you were weighting for. No pressure, but Missy gets heavy and gets under some of the benefits of weighted blankets. Hannah changes pace and offers a speedy yet scintillating overview of roller derby. It’s a blast, it’s a riot, it’s a jam. So come on, get your skates on and get this in your ear holes!2024-06-2040 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 18 - I’m warbling late, cause I’m singerA bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, and woohoo don’t we have two for you! Hannah’s full of beans as she goes through different types of coffee (yes that’s she, Espresso). While Missy tells you what materials NOT to supply birds with to construct their nests…I know, it’s bizarre, even for us!2024-06-1339 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 17 - Wash the dishes, dry the dishes, tell me your life storyWhat do autobiographies and dishwashers have in common? Nothing. But you can tell a lot about a person by how they load the dishwasher. This week it’s a how-to episode in which Missy tells you how to load your dishwasher and Hannah lays down the steps to writing an autobiography. 2024-06-0645 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 16 - The one where the audio quality is averageBalloons on the gate, the quintessential (and perhaps universal?) party signal. This week’s episode is out the gate. Hannah can’t read and Missy’s mic stuffs up. Yet, they persevere, Hannah spills the tea on ideal running temperatures and Missy gives a rudimentary history of ballooning that no one asked for. 2024-05-3031 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 15 - We can do hard thingsYour favourite silly sausages get serious reflecting on their Huntly half-marathon experience(s). It was rough, it was tough, (and there was a lot of huff and puff) but we didn’t give up and blew that house down! 2024-05-2340 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 14 - Waffle soles and Talis-Hans.Leading up to their second half-marathon of 2024, Missy waffles on about the best way to put on shoes and socks and sprinkles in some info about the history of running shoes. Hannah throws some shade at Missy’s potential elitist source-material opinions and reflects on some of the quirks of pre-race rituals. 2024-05-1638 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 13 - Stumped by a fanny packIn a very merry episode with far too much laughing, Hannah hits us with another this vs that and explores some of the benefits and drawbacks of belt bags and arm bands for running. Motivated by a tree stump, Missy gives the goods on Knole, the great ancestral home of Vita Sackville-West. 2024-05-0943 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 12 - We’re hot, we’re cold, we’re uncannyThe great Olivia Rodrigo sings, “Do you get déjà vu when she's with you?” and in this week’s episode, Missy explores the uncanny sensation, phenomenon, and mystery that is déjà vu. Hannah similarly considers sensory experiences and weighs up the pros and cons of hot and cold showers.2024-05-0339 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 11 - Red sky in the morning? Chuck some Chardonnay on it.Get ready for some meteorology from your favourite weather-Han as Hannah delves into a classic mariner’s rhyme and weather rule-of-thumb. Missy turns myth-buster as she tries to determine whether the ‘chuck white wine on a red wine stain’ actually works. 2024-04-2536 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 10 - 24hr runs: A whale of a timeMissy has a whale of a time telling Hannah about Wādī al-Hītān: a valley located in the Sahara Desert where hundreds of fossils were found, including super old whales with legs! Hannah looks into the world's records for most kilometres run in 24hrs.
Featuring the usual arguments about who goes first!2024-04-1833 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 9 - Sun’s out, runs outSharing is caring! Hannah delves into footpath right-of-way etiquette for runners and pedestrians. Missy puts the oven on (she was roasting carrots for dinner) and tries to get to the bottom of the phrase “the sun has got his hat on” - what does it mean?! 2024-04-1135 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 8 - Yarr you faster than a cat?Hannah tells Missy why she can’t run faster than a cat. Missy brings a pirate energy to the pod with some eye patch chat. 2024-04-0431 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 7 - Talk to yourself and wear high-visHannah asks Missy if she ever talks to herself (out loud) when she’s running. Missy reflects (pun intended) on the origin of High-vis clothing.2024-03-2839 minThoughts on a RunEpisode 6 - The Mooney’s GOT half-marathon-y with itWe did it!
