The Jungle Ultra is Beyond the Ultimate's 5 day, 230km journey deep into the rainforests of Peru. Runners arrive in the historic city of Cusco, are escorted over the rugged Andes Mountains, and begin their journey in the Manu National Park, one of the most biodiverse areas on the planet. The area is beautiful but the terrain and the climate alone give this event a reputation for arguably being the toughest race on the BTU roster. Stage 4 in particular is notorious as possibly the hardest stage of any BTU race. In this episode, Will catches up with the winner Ben Harrison plus two more Jungle legends in the form of Jemma Harding and Mark Reilly. The trio recount the highlights, the challenges and their tips for success in such extreme environments. Mark was running for Reverse Rett, a charity looking to cure Rett Syndrome, a severe neurological disorder which effects his daughter.

Intrigued by the Marathon des Sables? Imagine running it 5 times over… This week, we are joined by someone who is doing pretty much that. We catch up with broadcaster, entrepreneur and running fanatic, Spencer Matthews ahead of his record breaking challenge which will see him run 30 marathons in 30 days through the 45 degree Jordanian desert.Spencer is no stranger to ultra endurance events, having already completed the Marathon des Sables and The Jungle Ultra, but on July 29th, Spencer will set off from the Wadi Rum desert to complete a mind-blowing five times the distance - yes, 5 x Marathon des Sables, back to back. If successful, he will earn himself a spot in the Guinness book of World Records, but more importantly aims to raise as much as possible for charities across the UK as part of Global's Make Some Noise. We catch up with Spencer to find out how a life of alcohol and drug abuse eventually led him to discover running, what drives him to push his physical boundaries and how he's preparing physically and mentally for 30 in 30. Make Some Noise Global's Make Some Noise provides much needed funding to many charities who are facing growing waiting lists and unprecedented demand for their services, whilst facing increased costs and a downturn in donations. Donating £30 – £1 for every marathon – could mean a vital support session for a pre-school child with a physical disability from a dedicated specialist worker.

In episode one of season two of the Women's Running podcast, we talk to Susie Chan. Susie is a hugely inspirational ultrarunner, having taken on dozens of endurance challenges across the globe.

She also talks about battling the Jungle Ultra after her husband had almost died, tripping over an alligator during a hundred-miler in Florida, running with her pal Sophie Raworth, and her love of craft beer.

In this episode we talk to the winner of the Ice Ultra, Beyond the Ultimate's 5-day multistage run across Arctic Sweden, a runner who faced down 5 days of running in temperatures as low as -35c with a grin on his face throughout. A runner who not long ago decided to take a leap of faith and work towards making a career out of the thing he loves most. When Dicksy took on the Jungle Ultra (the same format but much hotter, much wetter, and with infinitely more mosquitos) there was a lightbulb moment somewhere out among the trees where he decided to change his life. If you're planning a cold race or adventure, we have some tips for you.  If you're looking for inspiration to take your own passion and make it a livelihood then Simon's story and his massive enthusiasm is just what you need.

This week's guest is ultrarunner and coach Kerry Sutton. Kerry has a long history in endurance sports, having rowed at university before embarking on her ultrarunning journey with a gentle introduction…the Marathon des Sables. She completed the MdS soon after having her fourth child – an impressive feat in itself as any parent will attest – but she progressed quickly and is now one to watch on any start line. She's won multi day races and frequently places in the Top 3 of the UK's biggest races and has completed races such as the Jungle Ultra, the Everest Trail Race, the Thames Path 100, the Lost Island Ultra and the UK Trail Running Champs, among many more. In this conversation, we enjoy hearing about Kerry's exploits and explore the role that fear plays in endurance events. Particularly pertinent was her recent epic at The Spine Race – a 276 mile non-stop ultra in winter along the length of the Pennine Way – where mountain rescue had to be called to extract her from a fairly sticky situation.

Welcome back to another episode of Your Anxiety Toolkit Podcast.  This week we are joined by the amazing Dan Furlong.  Dan Furlong is the man behind @maleanxietydepression on Instagram and is an inspiration to many in the mental health field.   In this episode, Dan Furlong talks about his recent experience with running the Jungle Ultra in Peru through the Amazing Jungle.  Dan Furlong called it a “self-sufficient race” where he had to run for 5 days through the Amazon Jungle, 3 of which had torrential rain.   Dan Furlong talked about his struggle with anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and depression.  Dan also talked about his struggles with suicidal ideation.  Dan said many inspiring things throughout this episode, but here are a few inspirational quotes that really got me thinking.  When discussing his experiences with depression, Dan quoted, “You need to goal set your way out of depression. He talked about how he never lets himself give up and “only when you go through real pain do you find out who you are!”  As Dan ran through the Amazon Jungle and faced many death-defying cliffs and traverses, he repeated to himself, “If you get through this, you can get through anything” and he referred to his OCD recovery in this discussion also.   Dan reported only getting 2-3 hours sleep each night and how he chose to run ahead to be allowed to take the “long course” which was running up to 1.5 marathons per day.  Just so inspiring, right?!  Dan Furlong spoke extensively about his mindset during the run (and his OCD recovery) and how he has learned to “take the path of least resistance”.  Dan stated that “your brain will always talk you out of doing hard things” and because of this, he learned to “take the harder route”.
