About this listen

Meet Robert and Ange —two longtime friends who thought "cardio" was a four-letter word until their 50s, when they realized age was more than a number; it was a reality, and they needed to do something to get more out of it. Now? They’re runners - even they are shocked at that sentence. Join them each week as they dish out brutally honest, occasionally helpful advice about how they stumbled into running (literally), what keeps them lacing up their shoes, and why logging miles together has become the weirdest, most wonderful part of their friendship. Expect laughs, hot takes on chafing, zero patience for toxic fitness culture, and more than a few gasps for breath. This isn’t about marathons—it’s about moving forward, one sarcastic step at a time.

    In this debut episode of How the F*** Did We Become Runners, meet Robert and Ange—two friends who used to think a 5K was a kind of wine. They’ll introduce themselves the only way they know how: with self-deprecation, laughter, and too much information about how they found running. Hear how boredom, bad knees, and an unlikely turn of events slowly led them off the couch and onto the pavement. They’ll also explain why starting at 50 wasn’t a death sentence, why friendship makes sweating slightly less terrible, and how they plan to accidentally inspire you along the way.
