Clean Break Chats

In this honest and wide-ranging episode, Andy and Rich dive deep into the mental game of running, the importance of showing up (even when it’s tough), and the connection between running, self-worth, and identity. They explore how running helps build resilience, how to avoid putting all your eggs in one basket, and why our beliefs shape everything we do—on and off the road. Plus, a real talk about setbacks, self-compassion, and the value of community.

From messy mindsets to marathon goals, this conversation is a reminder that we’re all a work in progress—and that’s okay.

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.
