The PEFGU brothers talk snow shoeing, not being a fitness w*nker and Ben launches his free programme for aspiring runners.

Javed Bhatti is an ultra-runner preparing for the 430 mile Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra. ’The world’s toughest and coldest ultra’ is 430 miles through the Canadian Arctic. He talks his preparation, sleep psychology and his past race experiences- including ‘doubling’ a 250 mile race (two times back-to-back).

Ben and Max discuss their resolutions, make some lifestyle suggestions for one another and discuss the best methods for anyone looking to get fit and healthy this year.

The Christmas Special! Friends, Family and a few mulled wines.. This we're joined by: Ben's devious brother Tim. Strength & Conditioning Coach Ryan Max's better half Frankie. 90 minutes of greatness. Download and plug in for your drive home this Christmas.

Ben and Max are joined by their friend and colleague Ben John. Ben is taking time out from professional rugby after several concussions forced him to take leave for his health. He's currently a trainer and rugby coach living in London.

Ben and Max have completed the ultra! We reflect on the race itself, how accurate our predictions were from Episode 1, and impart some tips for anyone considering entering an ultra-marathon.

We talk about our imminent race -a 55 mile ultra marathon through the hills of Northumberland- and our very different approaches to training. It's Ben's 14th Ultra, it's Max's first.
