Couch to coached - AWARD WINNING running podcast.

Season 3 ep 78- LIVE Special- Sole Searching with a Surprise Guest

This week, Rob and Ben lace up for one of the most bizarre and brilliant episodes yet. Joined by a mystery guest who knows a thing or two about putting their foot in it—literally—they delve into tales of public spectacle, unexpected fandoms, and the curious intersection of costume and controversy.

Ever wondered what it's like to champion one of England's most polarising footballers while dressed as... well, footwear? No spoilers here, but let’s just say this guest has walked a mile in some very unusual shoes.

Tune in for laughs, left-field stories, and one of the most oddly iconic moments in modern supporter history.
