Podcast appearances and mentions of Bob Graham Round

Welcome back to the Pyllon Ultra Pod — and to a new direction for the show. In this episode, we explore the emotional side of endurance. Why do ultra races move us to tears? What do they unlock deep inside that other pursuits can't reach? And how does that emotional depth become part of why we keep coming back? Our guest is Jeevendra, an ultra runner, thinker, and long-time Pyllon athlete with a deeply spiritual approach to running. He opens up about the emotional layers of training and racing — from mantras and meditation to moments of surrender and soul-level clarity during events like Spartathlon and the Bob Graham Round. Together, Paul and Jeev talk about: What it means to run with emotion — not against it Why endurance can become a spiritual practice The role of grief, purpose, and memory in running long distances How emotional breakthroughs can become physical turning points Tools like mantras, visualisation, and surrender And what it means to truly live a purpose-driven life If you've ever felt changed by a run — or wondered why this sport hits so deep — this one is for you.

If you like running, this week's episode is for you! Kenton sits down to talk to Hem Rana, a remarkable man who 'got the running bug' after going along to a park run six years ago and has since completed multiple ultras. Hem talks to Kenton about his childhood in Nepal and his application to join the Gurkhas. He remains a serving Gurkha today and has lived in the UK for 27 years working for a variety of Gurkha regiments attached to the British Army. Hem used to run only because he had to, for fitness tests and PT sessions, but in 2019 he tried his local park run (5km) and loved it. Out of curiosity, he gradually built up his distances, moved from road to trail, and developed his confidence. He tells Kenton that he has completed several 100 milers, the Winter Spine race (twice!), UTMB and the Bob Graham Round, to name a few. Hem truly believes that everyone is capable of doing what he has done. If you're looking for a bit of inspiration today, look no further!

Kia ora e te whānau. Jasmin Paris was rocketed into the wider consciousness when she became the first woman to finish Barkley Marathons, with 99 seconds to spare. Ironically, for a race that eschewed publicity for so long, the photos of Paris sending the final 100 metres or so to the yellow gate are arguably more famous than the Barkley itself.  Whilst this may be Jasmin's best known achievement, it's far from her only one. Spine winner, Bob Graham Round holder, fell running champion, senior lecturer in veterinary science, Mother and partner. Jasmin's life is full. Ali and Matt spoke to Jasmin about all this, and Green Runners, the organisation she co-founded with Damian Hall to advocate for, and address climate issues related to the sport of running and the wider world. We hope you enjoy this conversation, and are at least as stoked and inspired as we were.

How do you prepare for races that last hours and hours? Does sleep deprivation affect you running through the night? Does being a professional trail runner provide a sustainable full-time income? In this episode we are joined by GB ultra runner, Fi Pascall. Fi runs for Salomon, whilst also working as a strength coach and Pilates instructor, living and training in the stunning Quantock Hills of Somerset. But that's not all – Fi and her husband, Matt, have just launched Trail Retreats, all inclusive trail running weekends in the heart of nature, just 2 hours from London. Having always been active, Fi's journey as a pro ultra runner began with the legendary Bob Graham Round in the Lake District, sparking further curiosity about where she could go with the sport.

If you delve into the history of almost any endurance mountain running challenge in the UK you will likely see the name John Fleetwood. Usually flying under the radar solo and unsupported, his website www.longdistancechallenges.blogspot.com reveals a plethora of epic mountain adventures in the wild trackless bounds of Scotland, England and Wales. John first became 'hooked' on endurance runs in the late 90s following his 'first proper run' - the 100km Bob Graham Round. Long before the current boom in ultra running and 'FKTs' he was having intense experiences as he sought to bring dream lines on a map into reality by following them on the ground. More interested in 'first known completions' than speed itself, he has made huge aesthetic loops in wild places. A winter Broxap Round in Glen Shiel over 120km and 61hrs; the Glen Lyon Watershed, a 121km 47hr loop of rough grass, bog and heather; or the Strathfarrar Watershed, 99km over 50hrs in deep snow. We talk in more detail about John's Scottish Haute Route walk, his Lakes 40 Peaks at 40yrs challenge, and his mind bending Winter Rigby Round - a 54hr odyssey around the dark December Cairngorms in 2010. John is also an author of two Cicerone guides to Scrambles in the Lake District. His book Beyond the View is his 'pilgrimage through nature', a hardback photography book interlaced with his personal story and deep connections to these wild places. Seeing 'beyond the view' is about connecting with our surroundings in a deeper way. He has also worked with Big Issue vendors in a project which gave them new access to outdoor experiences. He hopes to set up a charity further expanding this work which aims to heal the disconnect many people (and arguably society as a whole) feels for nature. John is speaking at Kendal Mountain Festival next week (Sunday 24th November 2024)

I took the audio recorder along on the OMM Elite course in Glen Artney over the weekend of 26&27th October 2024.I was paired with Phil Rutter of Kendal who has won the Elite race in 2022 and 2023. The OMM is a 2 day mountain marathon in which teams of two navigate between checkpoints to a midway camp, carrying all the food and kit they require to survive in the October weather. A very popular event, it has different courses to fit different abilities, and is held in a different area each year. Phil talks us through the OMM and we have some chat as we progress through day 1. Arriving at the midway camp in second place, we talk to Martin Stone of SPORTident timing. Martin features in my Bob Graham Round episode (Episode 16), and has his own episode about his Midwinter Solo Unsupported Bob Graham Round in 1987 (Episode 10). We then debrief with the race leaders, Felix Wilson and Dan Ashwood before settling down for an early night in our tiny tent. Setting out on day 2 we had a seeded start 3 mins behind the leaders, but with only 70 seconds of time to make up on them. Catching them, we then had a long fight on our hands as each team would try and outpace and outsmart the other. This included taking very different lines between checkpoints 4&5, only to come together again at checkpoint 5 with seconds between us. Racing hard, we all navigated to the wrong stream bend for checkpoint 7. Felix and Dan relocated quicker and were off. It looked like we had lost the fight for first place. But we managed to claw back level with the guys - who then put on a sprint finish in the final field. Over two days and 11.5hrs of racing we won by only 90 seconds - apparently the closest winning margin in the OMM for years. For me, the OMM stands for traditional UK hill running values: held on rough terrain, in often difficult weather, with proper navigation, route choice and a requirement for mountain self sufficiency. With around 1300 competitors this year, it's a much loved event. The OMM is also the subject of Episode 28 with Victoria Thompson and Janie Oates, who were the female Elite course winners (and only elite course female finishers) in 2022. 2024 saw three female teams complete the Elite course (and many, many more over the other courses).

Send us a textHow does a UK fell runner prepare for the storied Pikes Peak Ascent? Join us on this episode of the Steep Stuff Podcast as we welcome George Foster, an elite British trail runner, who opens up about his unique training regimen and the breathtaking experience of racing in Colorado. George's visit to the U.S. and the serenity of Bar Camp set the stage for an unforgettable race, and we explore how his approach to running reflects the rich heritage of fell running in the UK. We also touch on the surge of interest in sub-ultra distance races across the globe and the contrasting race cultures in the U.S. and Europe.From school sports to world stages, George takes us through his personal and professional running journey, sharing anecdotes from international races in Thailand and Austria. His passion for running was rekindled during his time in the army, leading to remarkable success despite battling a significant injury. George's resilience and determination shine through as he discusses the challenges and triumphs faced while competing at the highest levels, providing insights that are both inspiring and informative.We also dive into the world of mountain running, examining iconic challenges like the Bob Graham Round and its impact on the global running community. Through a blend of personal stories and broader reflections, we compare the conditions and culture of trail running in different environments, from the wet, rugged terrains of the UK to the dry, sunny peaks of Colorado. The episode wraps up with George's reflections on the camaraderie within the sport and the lasting legacy of mountain running, leaving listeners motivated and eager to hit the trails. Tune in for a deep and engaging conversation with one of trail running's finest.George Foster IG - g.foz.foster  -  https://www.instagram.com/g.foz.foster/?hl=en

Trofeo Kima is a unique technical race in the beautiful Val Masino region of Italy, in the rough granite mountains not far from Lake Como. While I don't usually devote episodes to organised races, I think Kima justifies an exception, especially this year's race - in which I had a fantastic racing experience with none other than Jack Kuenzle. Jack is now a recurring character on the podcast, having shown up in Episode 21 to beat my Tranter's Round record, and again in Episode 38 when I got it back! Join Jack and I as we delve into a race analysis of our head to head 'duel' at the front of the race. We both managed to come in under the previous Kilian Jornet record time of 6hr9mins, with myself winning in 6hr5mins. Beating Kilian's record was a first for me, although not for Jack who has already achieved this with his Bob Graham Round record in 2022. The race is dedicated to the memory of Pierangelo Marchetti, nickname "Kima", who was a local mountain guide who died in 1994 during a rescue mission. His sister started the race in 1995 in tribute to him. For a visual on the terrain we are covering, see the great video by Julen Elorza featuring Hillary Gerardi (also featured in my Episode 18), La Gara: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CivvJNiHNnw Also the 2022 race highlights where you see a bit more of me, and my first win at Kima: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyzvgiOGHJg&t=584s

Kia ora e te whānau! This week we're joined by DCR favourite guest Gareth Morris as he recounts to us how he knocked off a run he first dreamed of more than a decade ago when he read the DCR favourite book, Feet in the Clouds, by Richard Askwith. The famous Bob Graham Round, a fell running loop in the English Lake District, challenges runners to tackle 42 peaks over a 66 mile course in less than 24 hours. (Bob Graham was the first person to go under that mark, in 1932). Gareth talks all about the history of this famous route, the camaraderie and sacrifice of those who helped him, and how he used the powerful words of legendary runner Nicky Spinks to get him to the end. Even if you've never heard of the BGR, or have any intention of running it, you'll come away from this episode inspired (and with new knowledge about unique English cuisine …) Best enjoyed running!Sign up to the DCR AidStation Episode links:Westie Runner on YouTubeSQUADRUNDirt Church Merch!Maree Leith Pledge Me for Finding Her Stride NickrunsAustralia.org.nz Inia Raumati Kia Mau Kia Ora CurranzJulbo Eyewear UltrAspireDirt Church Radio on InstagramDirt Church Radio on Twitter Dirt Church Radio on Facebook CieleFurther Faster New ZealandEnjoy!Music by Andrew McDowall, Digicake

The Bob Graham Round is a fell-running bucket-list item. It challenges runners to scale 42 peaks, covering 66 miles and 27,000 feet (around an Everest) of elevation, over the course of 24 hours. It tends to be the reserve of the ultra fit, but our guest this week proves that, with the right mindset and training, anyone can do it. Jenny Bushell says: ‘I don't have any kind of athletic background, and there's nothing special about me, except for possibly outsize levels of stubbornness.' Listen to her talk about her remarkable journey on this week's episode. Jenny now leads practical trail running workshops from her base in the Lake District.

Rob Greenwood, UKC Guru (probably not his actual job title!), interviews Finlay Wild about his recent “Dark Bob” - a Bob Graham Round run between sunset and sunrise, solo and unsupported in Jan 2024. Rob is no stranger to long rounds, having racked up an impressive CV including the UK “Big Three”, Rigby Round and Spine Challenger. Developing the idea of midwinter rounds, Finlay maximised the darkness and committed to attempting whatever the weather on the longest night (Winter Solstice 21-22nd December). This first attempt was aborted at Scafell Pike in very poor conditions - strong winds, heavy rain and visibility reduced to 5m on the higher peaks. Trying again on 6th January, Finlay had a narrower sunset-sunrise window (16h30 rather than 16h45 at the Solstice) but took advantage of better weather to try again. Setting out once more from Moot Hall at official sunset, this time 4.03pm, he had a very different experience and managed to get ahead of Kim Collison's overall Winter BGR record of 15h47, taking 12minutes off this to give a new winter record of 15h35m47s. Conditions were good: -2'c on the high tops, clear skies and light wind. Parts of the ground were frozen and there was icy hoar frost around the high peaks, but not much snow or neve build up. We discuss differing winter conditions, especially with the effects of climate change, and the idea that maximising the darkness - and using map and compass navigation - made for its own unique adventures. We mention different definitions of Winter - Astronomical Winter is the name for the period between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox.

Colin Kirk-Potter grew up running on the fells and a career as a Royal Marine meant fitness was always going to be central to his life. Back when he joined the Marines, a day on Dartmoor involved brutal training but these days he loves nothing more than to run around its trails and fells - to the stage where he's even written a book about the best routes. Colin's running has seen him take on extreme races all around the world, including the Bob Graham Round and the Ultra-Trail Du Mont-Blanc, where he even beat ultra running legend Scott Jurek. But perhaps his greatest challenge came when he struggled with PTSD after serving in Afghanistan. Life in 'civvy street' saw him drinking too much and picking fights, but it was running which helped him to rediscover himself and find peace. Running Tales spoke to Colin about why running like a toddler is good for you, opening a running shop and becoming coach, and exactly how he came to beat one of the greatest runners of all time...   --------------------------------   You can order Colin's book, Dartmoor Trail and Fell Running: 31 Great Runs, on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dartmoor-Trail-Fell-Running-Great/dp/1906095841

...in which we embark on one of our all-time favourite walks – up the Glendereterra valley – to ask why runners head into the toughest of fell landscapes on journeys of adventure, endurance, technical challenge and self-discovery. As we delve into the Back o' Skidda', we hear from Keswick born-and-bred Jacob Tonkin about the heritage of fell-running passed to him by his grandparents, and his support efforts on the Bob Graham Round. Returning below Lonscale Fell, we follow Chloe Thwaites' journey from near-paralysis on an A&E ward to a reconnected love with northern landscapes. Finally, we speak with Danielle Ledbury, author of new book Why we Run, about the 28 extraordinary runners she has photographed in the Lakeland fells; about trauma and recovery; about grief and joy; about vulnerability and community; and about that elusive flow... Why we Run can be ordered from Dave's publishing house, Inspired by Lakeland.

Cumbria-based James Gibson has had an incredible past few years picking off a host of big ticket endurance running records. In a 10 week period from December 2022 he became the first person to complete all three UK Big Rounds in one winter season, solo and unsupported (Bob Graham Round, Paddy Buckley Round and Charlie Ramsay Round). Completing this 'Winter Trilogy' took 6 attempts and James talks about the experience he gained from the 'failed' rounds early in the winter. While most people would be content to sit on the couch for a bit after that, he was back with the second fastest ever run of the 100mile Lakes, Meres and Waters round just 5 weeks later in April 2023. The same month he broke the record for the Etive Round with friend Jack Oliver, taking the record for the rough 16 Munro circuit down to 19h 26m. James works as a guide on Skye for much of the year, and his familiarity with the Cuillin lead him to completing two outstanding runs - first, the Trans Cuillin Round which was first attempted by Rob Woodall in 2001. This takes in 75km and 9000m of ascent over 70 summits - James became the first completer in May 2023. A mere 16 days later he took advantage of a weather window to bosh out the 4th ever Cuillin Round, a 60 peak loop for which he improved the record to 19hrs39mins in very hot conditions. Just days after our conversation James won the FRA Long Distance Award in a stacked field of worthy nominees. James can be found at www.jamesgibsoncoaching.co.uk Note: when discussing Winter Munro Rounds we forgot to mention Steve Perry's 2005-06 121 day continuous round (www.ukhillwalking.com/articles/features/interview_steve_perrys_winter_munro_round-4400)

El pasado julio Antonio Codina completó la Bob Graham Round en menos de 24 horas. Fueron 23h06′ épicas en las que mala meteorología puso las cosas muy complicadas, pero la perfecta gestión de tiempos y, sobre todo, el apoyo de su equipo hizo posible el objetivo. Antonio Codina ya es un miembro más del ilustre y aristocrático Bob Graham Club, que el pasado fin de semana celebraba su bienal cena de gala. El Castle Green Hotel de Kendal es el tradicional escenario de la cena que reúne a los miembros del club, tanto a los antigüos como a las más recientes incorporaciones. Antonio Codina y Silvia Delgado estuvieron en la celebración. Una cena de tres platos de carne de res cocida a fuego lento con una alternativa vegetariana, a la que siguió la entrega de los certificado que acreditan a los nuevos miembros, un baile con la banda Ceilidh Rascal Fayre y barra libre hasta la medianoche.

Shane Ohly tells me about his incredible record on the Lake District Classic Rock Round, a 50 kilometre route linking 15 classic climbs from the 1978 book 'Classic Rock' by Ken Wilson. In 2020, Will Birkett and Tom Randall battled as they each brought the record down. Shane watched from the sidelines nursing an injury but knowing that he possessed the unique skill set to bring this down even further. Shane left school obsessed with climbing and went on to become a sponsored pro, establishing new routes up to E8 and onsight solos to E7. Living in Cornwall he often ended up climbing alone, and so became a prolific soloist, culminating in his '500 routes in a day' on the Grit with John Arran in 2003. Later, he moved into mountain marathons and endurance running, clocking consistent podium results in Elite length mountain marathons for over a decade. He held the Winter Ramsay's Round record between 2008 and 2012 and broke Martin Stone's record for a solo unsupported midwinter Bob Graham round in 2020. Shane talks about his 3 year meticulous planning process for Classic Rock, which saw him spend over 30 days learning and memorising the rock climbs and running route. Using this approach he was able to keep the risk acceptable for him, and he talks through his logic and justifications. Executing the round in ideal conditions in August 2022 he describes a near perfect day of flow state which saw him reduce Will Birkett's record of 10h 41m to an incredible 9h 22m. Shane is the founder of Ourea Events who provide some of the most challenging mountain running events in the UK such as the Dragon's Back, Cape Wrath Ultra and Glencoe Skyline. Please see Episode 14 for an interview with Josh Jardine (which is weirdly the exact same length as this episode) on the pairs record for the Lakes Classic Rock Round, and Episode 10 for Martin Stone's 1987 solo unsupported mid winter Bob Graham Round.

Well hello again, we've had a busy week since we last spoke. We're here to recap it all PLUS welcome to the show a most excellent guest. Come on in, the kettle's just off the boil. We spend the majority of this week's intro blethering about the epic Auchterarder Running Festival, a warm weekend of racing and achievement in glorious Perthshire. We do have a quick nip over to the Aosta Valley to see how a few pals of the show got on in the gruelling Tor Des Géants. Neil MacNicol then joins the fray, a familiar face on the Scottish Ultra Running circuit, himself a superb athlete as well as being pivotal to many others in his role as run coach. First up we find out all about Neil's running back story and his entrepreneurial motivation to set up his successful run coaching business RunRecover (see link below). It's Neil's personal successes and approach though that we home in on, after breaking into ultra running races back in 2011 it's fair to say he's achieved great heights. A methodical approach, a discipline and a love for stats and data emerge as we get under the lid of what drives Neil on and gives him his competitive edge. From early impressive forays into the marathon distance Neil recaps finding his strengths in longer distances, the appeal of the hills and trails winning over the tarmac and towpaths he'd started off with. A love affair with the Lake District is apparent and his regular return ticket to Coniston to take part in the Lakeland 100 each year dominates our chat. A first go at the Lakeland 50 in 2023 allowed for Neil to race hard, it was one he was up for ending in a superb victory. With a glimpse forward to an up n coming Bob Graham Round attempt thrown in along with all your YHRF favourites (fav kit, fav scran etc etc) this episode covers all the bases. Enjoy and let us know what you think!

Our guest today is not a part of the majority; he is the very definition of a small minority of athletes doing unfathomable feats. Today Kyle and I are sitting down with Jack Kuenzle, a former Navy Seal who grew up in Dallas Texas. Jack attended Yale receiving his B.A before he joined the Navy Seals and completed Basic Underwater Demolition Seals Training (BUDS). He is best known for his pursuit of FKT,s. Some of his accolades include Beating Killian Jornet's fastest known times on the 66 mile Bob Graham Round, a mountainous traverse around England's lake district. Moreover he beat Killiants FKT on Denali this past year, this is where Jack and I met. Heis also credited with numerous fastest known times such as Mt Whitney CA, Mt Shasta CA, Mt Hood and Mt Rainier to name a few. Additionally Jack is a coach for Evoke Endurance where he is under the tutelage of legendary Coach Scott Johston. In today's conversation we discuss Jack's history, what led him to be the athlete he is today, his training and nutrition and finally we discuss some of his major ascents, FKT's and what he plans to do in the future.Become a supporting member of The Climbing Majority to unlock the exclusive full length video of this episodePlease rate, review the show, and share this podcast with your friends.

In this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast we hear about two of the UK's most epic ultra running challenges – the Lakeland 100 and the Bob Graham Round.Stuart Musson undertook the Bob Graham Round challenge in June 2023. You have 24 hours in which to complete the 42 peaks, 66 miles and 27,000 feet of ascent and you have to have someone witness you achieving every single peak so a massive logistical piece of pre-run planning to make sure everything is in place. Stuart completed the task in 21 hours 49 minutes.The Lakeland 100 is without doubt one of the most iconic hundred mile races in the UK. Colin Bathe had never run in the mountains before he set off in this year's Lakeland 100.  in the podcast Colin will talk about how he overcame about a third of the way in a feeling of wanting to give up, particularly after one of his poles broke. Colin set himself a goal of 34 hours and he came in in 33:53.Stuart's top tip for any would-be ultra runners is that the mental side of ultra running sometimes outweighs the physical side in terms of the effect it can have on your endeavours, so be prepared for those moments where you feel you just can't go on, they will pass.Colin's top tips are to treat ultra running as an eating competition and to start slowly and then go slower.I mention the Truro Half Marathon - to enter click here This is episode 128 of the Running 44@60 podcast.

Lo consiguió. Antonio Codina ya es un miembro más del ilustre y aristocrático Bob Graham Club, ése en el que solamente tienen cabida aquellos que han conseguido completar la Bob Graham Round en menos de 24 horas. Fueron 23h06' épicas en las que mala meteorología puso las cosas muy complicadas, pero la perfecta gestión de tiempos y el apoyo de su equipo hizo posible el objetivo. Antonio Codina y Silvia Delgado comparten cómo fue esa mágica jornada en Sweet Home Alabama.

La Bob Graham Round nació en 1932, cuando un corredor llamado Bob Graham, consiguió completar una vuelta circular por 42 “fells” (cimas) del parque nacional del Lake District en menos de 24h. El reto quedó inscrito en la historia local, y se fundó el Bob Graham Round Club, que acogería a todos aquellos que lograran repetir la gesta de su fundador. No fue hasta 1960 que alguien se atrevió a volver a intentarlo, y desde entonces han sido muchos los que han entrado a formar parte del ya mítico club. Con los años, la Bob Graham Round se ha convertido en una de las travesías más populares en Inglaterra. Este fin de semana nuestro compañero Antonio Codina intentará formar parte de ese selecto club y Territorio Trail está dedicado a la mítica travesía del "lake district" con la presencia de Silvia Delgado, Javier Cabrera y el propio Antonio Codina. Todo lo que debes saber de una de las travesías con más historia del mundo. Un programa en el que también tendrán protagonismo los Campeonatos de Europa de Skyrunning que se disputan en Montenegro con la presencia de Gemma Arenas, Sandra Sevillano y Lluis Ruiz.

“Bravery is not, not feeling scared. Bravery is feeling scared and doing it anyway”.Considering a big life overhaul but need some motivation to make it happen? Our guest this week knows exactly what it means to step out of the successful and familiar to embark on something scary and brand new.Meet James Riley, coach and owner of Run Unbound, former KPMG partner and men's captain of Ed's running club - Ranelagh Harriers. In this episode, James talks about the guts and bravery it's taken to leave a well-paid, successful career behind to build a business around his passion for coaching and running as a dream job. He shares about the joys of running in the wilderness with friends, what it feels like to reach a career high and wonder what's next, and how his perspective on success has changed as he's re-evaluated what he's looking for from life. As well as talking about this mammoth life change, James also fills us in on the euphoria of participating in the Bob Graham Round in the Lake District, and how he's using the skills from his past life in this exciting new adventure.Go Do:Our Go-Do challenge this week is sure to get us all thinking about our own motivators and goals.

Jack Kuenzle is a famous petting zoo and OnlyFans star who occasionally also runs mountains. In just the last year, Jack has set speed records on the White Mountains 100, Ramsay Round, Bob Graham Round (earning #1 FKT of the year), Mt Shasta, and most recently Mt Rainier. In this episode we focus on this most recent mind-boggling effort in which Jack climbed over 9,000 feet to the summit of Rainier and skied back to his car in 3 hours and 4 minutes. We also fit this effort into the larger context of his training this winter and his upcoming round trip FKT attempt on Denali. Find Jack on Strava and on Instagram @jackkuenzle.

Kia ora e te whānau. Mal Law is one of the best known names in the Aotearoa trail running. Mal has raised just shy of a million dollars for charity with his many multi-day adventures. Mal and his wife Sally are also known as the founders of Wild Things, the on-line trail running community beloved to many. Inspired by a fastpacking mission around the iconic Hardrock course, Mal came up with the concept for The Wild. Of course, an events company called Fusion Events which had been brought in to run the event went into liquidation in September last year, owing plenty of people plenty of money - that of course meant the race was off. Mal has now taken back the vision and operation of The Wild. Eugene and Matt have a frank and open conversation all about the trials and tribulations of the collapse of his - and many other people's - dream last year, as well as the resurrection of the race, which will debut this December. We also talk to him about his next adventure - heading off to take on his second attempt at a sub-24 hour Bob Graham Round in the UK.

...in which we escape the autumn rains on Clough Head to meet fell-runner and Threlkeldonian Steve Birkinshaw, who in 2014 broke the record for the fastest run of all 214 'Wainwrights' – the ultimate British ultramarathon. His 6 day, 13 hour record – which smashed Joss Naylor's epic 1987 run by a staggering 12 hours – not only laid down new lines that enabled a new generation of records to tumble, but also had a profound effect on softly-spoken Steve, who has spoken candidly about the physical and emotional toll the run took. In a wide-ranging discussion, we learn about the tough schooldays that gifted Steve a love for the outdoors, we take a bird's eye view of his many career highlights – from the Bob Graham Round to the Lakeland 100; and we talk though the remarkable 320-mile, 36,000m ascent odyssey across the fells that ended with the eyes of the world following a near-broken runner onto the steps of Keswick Moot Hall.

Joy is...Burning Bright.Special Episode Alert! Jack Kuenzle is a US based mountain runner, who has just set the trail and mountain running community alight by smashing Kilian Jornet's Bob Graham Round record (66 miles with 28,500 feet of ascent across 42 Lake District fells) by an astonishing thirty minutes. This, however, is just the icing on the cake of a string of incredible feats of endurance in 2022 alone.Jack is an entertaining, passionate, driven guy and this was a rollercoaster of a conversation – much like his incredible record breaking effort.We deep dive into his history in the sport, his preparation mentally and physically for FKTs, the specificity of his training, smashing your idols, the issue with bogs, his relationship with pain, not having a mantra, and finding joy far from the crowd.Jack is not one to shy from the path less travelled, and I felt like we could have spoken for a lot longer. Nevertheless, hopefully this gives something of a brushstroke of his authenticity and magnetic energy, as well as his evident pure talent and work ethic. So much gratitude to Jack for giving up his time in a busy schedule (what he doesn't mention is that he is supporting someone else's Bob Graham attempt before he heads back to the States: he clearly can't get enough!) Please do show your support and follow his future endeavours on Instagram and at Uphill Athlete where he coaches.Jack Kuenzle IG: @jackkuenzleUphill Athlete: www.uphillathlete.comPhoto Credit: @andrewmaybury Hosted on Acast.

Ricky Lightfoot is a trail and fell runner from the Northern Britain. Over the years he has raced in and won some of the most prestigious trail and ultra races in the world whilst balancing life as a firefighter and a father. Ricky joins us on the Sweat Elite Podcast to discuss his life running the fells of England, as well as across the globe. We delve into his experiences in some of his stand-out races, as well as his recent participation in the Salomon Phantasm 24 which was a 24-hour four-person relay to celebrate the launch of Salomon's new carbon plated road shoe, the Phantasm CF. We also speak a lot about the rich history and culture of fell running in the UK, as well as the famous Bob Graham Round. Ricky shares a lot of great insights into training and racing on the trails and it was a pleasure to have this conversation with him.

Jasmin Paris is professional trail runner for Inov-8 based in the United Kingdom. Her racing resume is significant with an overall win at the 2019 Spine race, a fastest known time on the Bob Graham Round, a top-10 finish at 2016 UTMB, and way more. Most recently, she completed 3 laps, also known as a “Fun Run”, at the vaunted Barkley Marathons in Tennessee's Frozen Head State Park. Due to Jasmin's media schedule, we only had 20 minutes to chat but we covered good ground including what inspired her to line up for Barkley, what her physical and mental preparation looked like, the keys to completing a fun run, whether she has plans to return next year or beyond, and what other events and routes in the United States interest her.

On 28th August I completed the second fastest Bob Graham Round ever, touching the steps of the Moot Hall in Keswick in just under 13 hours - less than 7 minutes slower than record holder and all round megastar Kilian Jornet's time. I had an incredible support team who helped me to push myself further than ever before, forging memories that will last a lifetime. I'm delighted that endurance running godfather Martin Stone offered to interview me about my run.

In episode 51 I'm speaking to the legend that is Nicky Spinks. Nicky was a cover star for Women's Running on the issue before I started, so for me she has always been the one that got away. Not any more! Here she is chatting about her incredible running career so far. Nicky is one of the greatest fell runners of all time, if not the greatest. She set women's records for the Ramsay Round (that's 58 miles in Scotland including Ben Nevis), The Paddy Buckley Round (that's 65 miles in Snowdonia with 47 summits) and the Bob Graham Round (this is the Lake District one, and is 66 miles). She is the holder of the overall record for the double Bob Graham round and is the only person ever to complete doubles of the other two Rounds. She talks to me about how she got into running in the first place, how she trains for those crazy distances, and her experiences running those unheard-of challenges (pre-Nicky). She also talks about her experiences running the terrifying Barkley Marathons, and it sounds like she has some unfinished business there, so watch this space. And because along with being a farmer and running incredible distances, she's also a coach, I ask her opinion on how we can all run well on the trails, and – crucially – I ask her what the best food to eat on an ultra is – spoiler: there's a lot of pork pies. And I get her opinion on why she thinks women make such incredible ultra runners, and there's a lot more running chat besides Podcast listeners can claim the best discount we have for membership to Women's Running, which is 35% off.

In January 1987 pioneering long distance fell runner Martin Stone completed his goal of a solo, unsupported midwinter Bob Graham Round in classic full winter conditions (in 23h41). This had taken 4 attempts over 6 years and was not repeated in similar style until just recently in December 2020 by Shane Ohly. The journey was such an indelible personal experience that Martin recorded his thoughts on the round in detail the next day. Over 30yrs later he has unearthed the tape and agreed for it to be shared. Shane's account of his recent record should be available shortly at www.shaneohly.com

George Foster is a British runner who recently ran the second fastest Bob Graham Round in history clocking 13:44. George talks to me about his introduction to running his roles in the Army and as a teacher not forgetting his (surprising) build up and running of the Bob Graham Round. George was great t catch up with and also has a very entertaining blog www.fellicionado.com in fact its the ONLY entertaining blog that I have read.
