"I Thought It Was Never Going to End": Romesh Ranganathan's Unfiltered London Marathon Experience

In this episode of The Runna Podcast, we sit down with Romesh Ranganathan, fresh off the finish line of his second London Marathon.

World-renowned comedian Romesh takes us behind the scenes of his marathon journey—from training to race day antics. He shares how his relationship with running has evolved, from hating school cross-country to completing his second marathon. Along the way, he set personal targets—and had some hilariously unhinged conversations you won’t want to miss.


We unpack:

🏁 “It was better than any other career highlight” – Romesh reflects on the full marathon experience, start to finish

🏃‍♂️ How his training went: from running “comedically slowly” to the strategic disguises he wears while out on a run

👟 “I got goosebumps” – a reflection on the power of the running community

🤝 A Deal with Coach Ben – An unexpected agreement that could lead to some truly entertaining outcomes

😂 Other hilarious highlights that left Ben, Anya and the production crew in stitches


This episode is full of honest reflection, unfiltered humour, and surprisingly heartfelt insights—a reminder that you don’t need to be “a runner” to run a marathon. You just need to show up.
