We talk to Marcus Scotney about coaching, lockdown and preparing for MDS. Elisabeth Borgersen talks climbing Everest, albeit virtually and we speak with Mariano Alvarez about Spartan Trail.

Record-holder & ultra running coach Marcus Scotney explains what it takes to train for and complete the 250 mile (400km) 8-day Cape Wrath Ultra in Scotland, UK. (Scroll down for links to other useful films and gear we mentioned) In this episode you'll find out how Marcus recommends training for this epic wilderness ultra, why he doesn't recommend doing back to back days or long strength training sessions in the gym. We also talk about what he considers essential kit, the importance of what he calls “Bagmin”, what did he ate as a vegetarian at that time, how hard the navigation is, and how best to manage yourself at camp each night to avoid fatigue, injury and blisters. Finally he compares Cape Wrath Ultra to the 5-day Dragon's Back Race across Wales, and other multi-day ultras he has completed like The Coastal Challenge, the Spine Race, the UTMB and almost the Marathon des Sables.

There is so much to say about Jen Scotney and we had a lot to talk about. Jen is a human rights lawyer, long distance runner, dog lover, vegan athlete and partner of pro ultra runner Marcus Scotney. Over and above all of the labels she is simply a cool and down to earth human; radically honest and modest in equal part and someone who faces up square to the hurdles of life. We talk not long after her second Spine Challenger race and hear the gritty reality of what nearly 40 hours on that tough trail was like. Jen’s brother and father both passed away within a five month period and we also talk about the reality of that experience from her perspective, her grief and how it has changed since. Jen has other wisdom to share too: how she balances a sometimes harrowing career as a human rights lawyer with training for ultras; the tricky relationship between self-worth and race results; the pitfalls of the Strava culture; and her own journey with anxiety, anaemia and chronic fatigue. Enjoy this and show Jen your love on social.

Welcome to the Further. Faster. Podcast, in association with Montane, the podcast that asks ultra athletes, mountaineers and adventurers the why and the how. In the first episode, presenter Daniel Neilson talks to ultra runner Marcus Scotney about his training, a recent race in Costa Rica (which didn't fully go to plan) and his other career as an actor. He also offers up some valuable running tips. We also speak to Robert Pollhammer, the Race Director of the Coldest Race on Earth; Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra, about the most recent race edition and what it takes to finish this epic race. Listen in and get inspired.

Episode 152 of Talk Ultra is a packed show with two interviews from The Coastal Challenge! Race winner and course record holder, Tom Evans tells us how he won and we also chat with Marcus Scotney. Kurt Decker brings us an interview with John Storkamp and Speedgoat is here to tell us about his 39th 100-mile win!

We have a series of interviews from the Iznik Ultra series of races, Marcus Scotney from the 130k, Jo Meek from the 80k and Robbie Britton from the marathon. We speak to British Bulldog, Steve Spiers. Marc Laithewaite is back for Talk Training. News, a Blog, Up and Coming Races and of course, Speedgoat Karl.

We have two interviews from the Montane Spine race, regarded as one of the toughest races out there. We speak with Pavel Paloncy who won the 268-mile event with a new course record and Marcus Scotney who won the 106-mile Challenger event. We also speak with South African long distance runner, Johan Van De Merwe about ultra running in South Africa and his new African 24-hour record.
