As an English person who lived in rural Wales for 4 years... none of that surprises me. Some (emphasis on some, most Welsh people I interacted with were lovely) Welsh people have a chip on their shoulder about being Welsh bigger than the Menai Strait. I'm surprised the podcast isn't in Welsh. Though I'd also be very surprised if either of these two had the intellect enough to speak two languages.

Some (not all) of the Welsh people I know would object to these two even calling themselves Welsh if they're not Welsh speakers and if they did speak it there'd be complaints it isn't "real Welsh" because they're from the south. They technically live in England right? Just near the border, at first I was thinking if their kids are in a Welsh school they'll be learning the language but they're probably not. I have an English friend in Wales who despairs over her child's Welsh homework. My Welsh only goes as far as good morning, good night, would you like a cuppa, thank you and the happy birthday song.

My Welsh is as good as what Bryn says in Gavin & Stacey, and ‘cais’ from the rugby 😂 (I’m not Welsh not so I claim to be, I just like the random bits I’ve picked up 😂)
 
Tits ran for Cymru, don't forget people😂 it went super well so is never mentioned. I'm talking about that ultra, he may have also ran in the Masters for Wales maybe?
Kels is English and they live in England, but FoD can be a bit of a strange outlier place (my gran lived there for years and I'm originally from Gloucester so feel I can say this😂).
 
She never looks back on a training cycle and says ‘I ran easy too fast’ or ‘I didn’t do enough long runs’. It’s always diabetes’ fault or the weather or a niggle. It’s like she thinks one time the stars will align and she’ll get a 35 min PB.

It’s plain as day she needs to work on her shorter distances before doing a marathon again. All her marathons are the exact same 4:15 + positive split. She only managed her PB cuz Tits FORCED her round.
