ποΈ Swift Half Episode 253 – New year, New Rules but same old hosts
Thursday, 1 January, 2026
Alan and Ian share holiday updates, from alcohol-free beers to quiet Christmases, before diving into the big stuff: World's Toughest Mudder 2026 rule changes. From "Morning Glory" obstacle penalties to the "Weight to Go", they unpack the impact on race strategy, fairness, and athlete fatigue. Alan previews a special episode of Never Stumped on adaptive athlete podiums, while Ian praises Hyrox for leading the way in inclusivity. They also tackle the upcoming vote to dissolve World Obstacle, raise eyebrows at USA Pentathlon's use of "Ninja Warrior," and mourn the loss of Transworld Sport β a show that shaped generations of sports fans. The episode rounds out with marathon debates, gear gripes (especially for female athletes), and a reminder to grab your tickets for the UKOCR Awards before they're gone.
