Clean Break Chats

Raw-Dogging Life: Damo on Anxiety, Running & AF Living
Damian “Damo” Sharp joins Andy & Rich for a candid deep-dive into living life unfiltered — no booze, full presence. We unpack anxiety, blips, and the gritty bits of rebuilding confidence with sleep, nutrition, and those “boring” Zone 2 runs that change everything.
We cover:
  • From slips to Phase 2 sobriety: using blips as data, not drama
  • Anxiety, panic, and why caffeine had to go
  • Running for headspace: base-building, injury comebacks, and pacing the ego
  • Parenting, identity, and choosing presence over pints
  • Planning a sober wedding (6 Dec!) without the late-night chaos
If you’re AF-curious, in the messy middle, or coming back from a setback, this one’s for you.

What is Clean Break Chats?

🎙️ Clean Break Chats – Mindful Miles and AF Lifestyles.

Hosted by Andy and Rich – two ordinary guys who’ve discovered something extraordinary through living alcohol-free. Andy lives by the sea in sunny Spain, and Rich’s home base is in Leeds, UK. What they share is a passion for running, a commitment to alcohol-free living, and a desire to help others unlock the same freedom and joy.

Formerly known as The Running Dryy podcast, this re-branded podcast is part of their new venture Clean Break – a growing community dedicated to helping runners break free from booze and tap into their full potential. Between them, Andy and Rich have run multiple marathons and ultra events, and they credit going alcohol-free as their superpower.

Each episode features raw, honest conversations between the two – full of laughs, insights, and the kind of chat you'd have on a long run with your best mate. They also invite brilliant guests to share their own stories of transformation, triumph, and what it means to live, run, and thrive without alcohol.

Whether you’re sober-curious, in recovery, or just want to hear real stories about finding meaning through movement and mindset, Clean Break Chats is your new go-to listen.
