Effortless Gains

Effortless Gains

By Gary Stones

Effortless Gains is an improvised comedy podcast focused on the more ridiculous aspects of running and wellness. The host, Gary Stones, and his niece, Jaimie Stones, will provide listeners with three unique tips per week to improve their running as well as an in-depth interview with an unknown runner or wellness expert.

Gary is a single man in his 40’s who achieved little to no real success in athletics as a young man and has continued to achieve little to no success in most of his subsequent endeavors. This hasn’t prevented him from offering advice on achieving effortless gains in running and life to anyone who will listen.


Jaimie came to visit Gary from Australia at the beginning of lockdown and has remained here through a combination of parental issues, lockdown restrictions and the fun she has living with Gary.

Jaimie is an IT whizz and having listened to Gary’s advice on running and not knowing any better, she suggested producing a podcast for Gary to share his gifts to the world.

Getting the Runs with Ben Brown

Getting the Runs with Ben Brown

Sometimes what you want and what you get are two very different things. Gary wanted Jonathan Edwards instead he got Ben "Jobby" Brown. Just like runners want a beautiful sunny day but sometimes they get rain. Does that mean you don't go out and run? No! You power through and make the best of it and adversity creates glory. This episode is glorious.
This week is a race day special with all three tips focused on how to prepare for race day.
Ben provides us with his trifecta of tips that have meant he has always kept one step ahead of Gary. It involves, unsurprisingly, performance enhancing drugs and scumbaggery.
This episode is partnered with the Politics-free Podcast. They are EXCELLENT, check them out through the links provided below.
Politics. We're tired of it! If you're here, you probably are, too. So, why not join us for a short time each week to get away from the madness of the world? And we'll go ahead and carry on as though nothing important or noteworthy is happening.
