Get in touch with Ultrarunning Sam here ⬅️Louise returns to the Home Trails podcast for her second appearance. The first was as part of a short format Spine Race preview episode, so we didn't dive too much into her life story. In this episode we go right back to her early days, especially her wild days back at uni in Manchester, when she was fully immersed in the early 90's rave scene. She talks about going to the legendary Hacienda club in Manchester, how she help Madonna to shimmy over a wall to escape the venue and how she raved until the sun came up at every opportunity.Louise now channels her addictive personality into endurance sports. Where she's competed at road races, masters marathon, won silver medal at duathlon and more recently has dominated ultramarathons, including our favourite race, the Spine.Louise is also a coach, so we talk about her coaching methods to prepare for ultras, including some very specific work in tough conditions!Louise is a real character and was a pleasure to interview!HT@ultrarunning_sam @hometrails_ http://www.youtube.com/@ultrarunningsam

Get in touch with Ultrarunning Sam here ⬅️Anna Troup joins the Home Trails Podcast to talk all things Spine Race!Anna has a long history with the race and this year saw her win the women's race in 109 hours, in some epic weather conditions. Anna talks about her preparations (or lack of) going into this race. Off the back of winning the summer edition of the race, Anna yet again had to deal with reoccurring issues with stress fractures that almost put her out of the race.We dive into the ongoing issue of injury and how she has kept her huge endurance  base that she's built over 40 years in sport! How doctors told her not to race and how she came to the start line in January with one goal......finishing the race.We talk about her drive to encourage more women to sign up to the race and the small community on WhatsApp that's now grown to include over 300 members! We talk about the changes to the race and how it's perceived to affect women signing up going forward and her plans to continue building the women's support group.Anna was a pleasure to interview and I'm sure she will be back again for more episodes in the future!HT@ultrarunning_sam @hometrails_ http://www.youtube.com/@ultrarunningsam

In questa puntata speciale di Dirty News, uniamo le forze con Patrick Delorenzi per una chiacchierata a tutto tondo sul mondo del Trail Running.Analizziamo i fatti più caldi del momento, partendo da un feedback senza filtri sulla recente Solane Cross Backyard Ultra, per poi spostarci sulle follie della Spine Race e sui ritiri al limite dell'ipotermia.Non mancano i temi "scottanti": commentiamo le ultime riflessioni di Kilian Jornet sulla crescita del movimento, il rapporto tra donne e distanze ultra, e il delicato tema delle Olimpiadi in relazione alla sostenibilità ambientale (con un occhio critico su Milano-Cortina). Infine, discutiamo la nuova policy "green" dell'UTMB per il sorteggio dei pettorali: vera svolta o greenwashing?In chiusura, un annuncio importante per la prossima primavera.Buona visione!01:52 - Breve intro su CHI SIAMO!09:11 - Debriefing Solane Cross Backyard Ultra: cosa ha funzionato e cosa no 16:04 - Spine Race: il ritiro shock di Eugeni Roselló a 28km dall'arrivo25:30 - Donne nel Trail: analisi su partecipazione e distanze40:29 - Trail alle Olimpiadi vs Disastro Ambientale: la nostra opinione50:35 - UTMB e la nuova regola "Green" per il sorteggio

In this episode, John and Steven sit down with one of the most accomplished ultra runners in the world, Beth Pascall. Known for her calm demeanour (earning her the school nickname "Millpond"), Beth shares her journey from medical school rowing to shattering course records at Western States and the Bob Graham Round. We dive into the mental and physical grit required to win iconic races in gruelling conditions and what it's like to balance a career as a paediatrician with elite-level athletics.Career highlights2021 Western States 100 Champion: Finished first female in a time of 17:10:41.Bob Graham Round Record Holder (2020): Set a then-record of 14:34:26, shaving 50 minutes off Jasmin Paris's time.Spine Race Winner: Winner of the notoriously difficult winter Spine Race.Cape Wrath FKT: Completed the trail with Damien Hall in 4 days, 9 hours, and 43 minutes.Key Topics and HighlightsThe "Millpond" MentalityBeth explains how her naturally calm personality has been an asset in ultra running. Despite the high stakes of world-class competition, she views herself as a "normal person" and remains largely unphased when racing against global superstars.The 2021 Western States VictoryBeth recounts her legendary 2021 win during one of the hottest years in the race's history.The "Wobble": She admits to having a major physical struggle at Mile 70 due to the heat, where she actually had to sit down for a few minutes to lower her core temperature.The Finish: She didn't feel certain of the win until Mile 94 when she learned she had a significant gap over second-place finisher Ruth Croft.The Bob Graham Round: Beth describes her record-breaking Bob Graham Round as her most enjoyable running experience. She talks about how the running community comes together to support a single runner, featuring pacers and volunteers who were, in many cases, total strangers.Nutrition and the Evolution of the SportThe conversation explores how much sports science has changed in just a few years. Beth discusses the trend of high-carbohydrate intake (90g+ per hour) and shares her sceptical but open-minded take on modern supplements like ketones and bicarb.Technical Terrain Over Flat RoadsDespite winning flat races like the 24-hour Self-Transcendence, Beth admits she doesn't actually enjoy road running. She highlights the Glencoe Skyline as her favourite type of "gnarly" course.Beth on InstagramMegan Boxall Run Britain Tracker

430 kilomètres, 10 700 mètres de dénivelé, des rafales à 80 km/h, une tempête de neige à -10°C, et seulement 5 heures de sommeil en 95 heures d'effort : bienvenue dans l'enfer blanc de la Montane Winter Spine Race.L'édition 2026 restera dans les annales comme l'une des plus brutales jamais organisées sur le mythique Pennine Way anglais. Une hécatombe. Les favoris sont tombés un à un, terrassés par le froid, la fatigue et les éléments déchaînés. Pourtant, un homme a su dompter l'apocalypse : Sébastien Raichon, 53 ans, vient de signer l'un des plus grands exploits de l'ultra-trail en remportant cette course impensable.Sans entraînement spécifique, sans connaître le terrain, sans jamais s'être confronté au froid extrême en compétition, le Français a adopté un "rythme de sénateur" pendant que les marathoniens en 2h20 explosaient devant lui.

La dernière nuit dans la tempête, Sébastien s'est "fait peur", le sommeil le terrassant presque, mais il a tenu. 95 heures, 43 minutes et 47 secondes plus tard, il franchissait la ligne à Kirk Yetholm en vainqueur.Dans cet épisode exceptionnel, Sébastien nous raconte cette aventure insensée, sa gestion mentale hors norme, le mystère de son masque AirTrim qui a tant fait parler, et pourquoi cette victoire est "sans doute la plus belle de sa carrière".***Course Épique, c'est le podcast running et trail qui vous fait vivre dans chaque épisode une histoire de course à pied hors du commun.Pour ne rien manquer de notre actualité et vivre les coulisses du podcast, suivez-nous sur Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/courseepique.podcast/Retrouvez également Course Epique en vidéo sur YouTube : https://bit.ly/courseepique_youtubeCourse Épique, un podcast imaginé et animé par Guillaume Lalu et produit par Sportcast Studios Hébergé par Acast.

The Spine Race Explained: Ultra Running, Mental Resilience & SurvivalWhat does it really take to survive one of the toughest endurance events in the world?In this episode, Rob, Ben and Emma welcome back Gareth Jones to unpack his recent experience at the legendary Spine Race — a brutal 268-mile journey along the Pennine Way that Gareth describes as a survival expedition rather than a race.Gareth shares an honest, unfiltered account of what it's like to move through extreme weather, exhaustion, and sleep deprivation while navigating one of the most unforgiving routes in ultra running. From hallucinations and physical fatigue to the mental battles that defined the race, he reflects on finishing 22nd out of 87 runners and the lessons learned about pacing, preparation, and resilience.The conversation dives into the realities of self-supported racing — carrying food, managing kit, navigating checkpoints, and making smart decisions when everything hurts. Alongside the hardship, Gareth also highlights moments of camaraderie, humour, and perspective, reminding listeners why mindset and mental health matter just as much as physical fitness in ultra-endurance events.As the episode closes, Gareth looks ahead to future challenges, including races in Marbella and the Arctic, and shares a powerful reminder: ultra running isn't about obsessing over distance — it's about respecting the journey from start to finish.This is a compelling listen for anyone interested in ultra running, mental resilience, or what happens when the body is pushed to its absolute limits.HighlightsWhat the Spine Race really involves — and why it's a survival expeditionBattling unpredictable weather and extreme fatigueMental resilience and decision-making under pressureThe realities of self-supported ultra racingHallucinations, sleep deprivation, and race psychologyFinishing 22nd in one of the world's toughest endurance eventsLessons on pacing, preparation, and mindsetWhy enjoying the journey matters more than the distanceWhat's next for Gareth, including upcoming extreme racesRemember to follow us on Instagram, subscribe on YouTube, and watch us LIVE every Monday.And don't forget — join the Couch to Coached Strava run club by searching Couch to Coached on Strava.

This week's episode discusses final stories from this years Spine Race. Takes a quick look at other events last week including Terra Gigantes and HURT100. Before diving into a preview of likely Arc of Attrition conditions and a look at all of the mandatory kit. Finally a bit of a One Slam virtual event update for all of those in that challenge.

This week, Alan and Ian dive into a packed episode covering everything from icy OCR battles to questionable beverage choices and the future of obstacle sports governance. They swap stories about recent drink experiences — from Alan's unfortunate BrewDog encounter to Ian's bubble‑gum pop indulgence — and debate the folklore of "Coca‑Cola water" as a supposed health tonic. The conversation turns to OCR with reflections on McTuff The Last Stand, including the community's tribute to Alexander Thompson and the cancellation of the competitive wave. Alan previews an upcoming interview with Lindsay McKeown and Sancha Martin, while both hosts admit they may be done with winter OCRs after past brushes with hypothermia. They also celebrate Scottish OCR's place among the UK OCR Awards' top 10 shows. From there, they break down the podcast awards results, the razor‑thin margins between nominees, and the kudos they received from across the pond. Race chatter continues with the Trigger Race, the ongoing Spine Race, and a concerning safety incident involving threats toward a participant. This leads into a thoughtful discussion on free speech, safety, and the withdrawal of humanitarian runner Sarah, before the mood lifts with the story of a 17‑year‑old Australian who accidentally ran 50 km instead of 8. The hosts also touch on the Bristol Marathon and its trail‑based alternative. Alan and Ian then explore the Bristol Trail Marathon, debating whether road runners are being set up for a shock and whether a trail half or metric marathon might have been a smarter option. They also chat about Jamie's bargain‑bin Vaporflys and the idea of converting them for trail use. The episode shifts to the world of HyROX, where the surprising Surf dating‑app partnership raises eyebrows. Ian previews the upcoming HyROX Coaching Summit in Twickenham, while Alan celebrates snagging a better hotel deal for the awards. Ian shares his experience at Deadly Dozen, a unique fitness facility inside a former power station, complete with Jacob's Ladder and industrial‑style training zones. The pair also touch on the National Running Show, Manchester High Rocks, and Alan's tips for scoring free food through running challenges. They wrap up with a look at the potential dissolution of FISO, what it could mean for UK obstacle sports, and whether UIPM might be the next step — acknowledging that more clarity and expert insight will be essential.  If you have any questions about the show or would like to explore advertising opportunities, feel free to reach out to us at admin@ukocr.com.

Send us a textIt is three weeks out from the Winter Spine race kit check and Kev runs through all the mandatory kit requirements and the clothing and equipment he is taking with him.  If you are running one of the 2026 races this might be a useful check to run through before you pack. If not it might be a good insight into what you will need if you are thinking of entering a Spine race in the future. Failing that it might be that you just can't geek out enough on everything Spiney! https://www.thespinerace.com/Aid Station website where you can find the episodes or leave comment https://www.aidstation.co.uk/Please feel free to give the show some feedback on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/aid-station/id1549735359

Get in touch with Ultrarunning Sam here ⬅️SPINE SEASON!We continue Spine Season with the return of Lindley Chambers, the king of all things kit list related. Lindley comes on the podcast to discuss everyone's favourite subject...the kit list for the Winter Spine Race. In this episode we discuss the recent changes to the list, controversial items being added/removed and the reasons for it. We discuss the changes to navigation equipment, mapping and checkpoints. We also talk about some of the issues that keep coming up for first time Spiners and what the race and the course expect from them! We discuss how technology is starting to help with kit checks and how he still gets hundreds of emails asking the same old questions every day. But, as he freely admits, he wouldn't have it any other way. Lindley firmly believes that if you're asking kit questions, then you're thinking about the race seriously, and there's nothing he wants more for this year's competitors!If you're doing any of this year's races then this is a must listen!HT@ultrarunning_sam @hometrails_ http://www.youtube.com/@ultrarunningsam

Get in touch with Ultrarunning Sam here ⬅️Welcome to the Home Trails coverage of the 2026 Winter Spine Race!We begin our lead up to this years race with a preview from a familiar face, John Kelly! John returns for the 4th time to Britain's most brutal race! He returns to better his race from last year when he was suffering with an attack of the sleep monsters on the first night of the race. John talks about this issue and his approach for this years race, which includes a home made 'altitude office' that simulates up to 14,000ft of altitude! Among other things obviously....As well as talking all things Spine, we also talk about his attempt on the Appalachian Trail FKT earlier in the year. Coincidentally, the SFM film about this was also released this week. So go check that out on YouTube!John talks candidly bout how the film is difficult to watch, but he also proudly looks back at the funds that he raised for local towns affected by the hurricane that swept through the area, causing so much devastation.John as always seems laser focused and I can't wait to see what he does at this years race!  HT@ultrarunning_sam @hometrails_ http://www.youtube.com/@ultrarunningsam

Dans un paysage où les images affluent, se répètent et se démultiplient, que reste-t-il du récit ? Que reste-t-il de cette part de vérité que le trail porte en lui, loin des formats courts et des logiques d'algorithmes ?Dans cet épisode, Cléo reçoit Alexis Berg, photographe et réalisateur, dont le regard a profondément marqué l'esthétique du trail moderne. Ensemble, ils interrogent une époque saturée d'images et de contenus, où filmer ne suffit plus, où raconter devient un acte de résistance. Comment saisir ce qui échappe, ce qui se joue dans les interstices, dans le silence, dans l'effort d'un coureur qui traverse la nuit ?Dans une seconde partie, l'artiste et musicien Dave Pen (Archive), protagoniste du film Run Again, nous rejoint. Il évoque la Spine Race, la douleur, la solitude et cette quête intérieure qui fait de la course un espace d'échappée, presque méditatif. Deux regards, deux sensibilités, une même question : comment continuer à dire le vrai quand tout, autour, cherche à simplifier, accélérer, lisser ?Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Get in touch with Ultrarunning Sam here ⬅️In this episode of the podcast we speak to Dan Weller. Dan returns to the podcast after previously being on in 2024, when we talked about his wins at the Montane Spine Challenger South and the Pennine Barrier Ultra. This time Dan talks about his 2nd place finish at Centurion Wendover Woods 50 and his year of racing so far. We dive into his new approach to training under his coach Sarah Cameron and his plans for the rest of the year. But obviously we couldn't let him go without a big old conversation about our beloved Spine Race. Dan will be toeing the line at Challenger South in January, alongside Mark Darbyshire and Jack Scott (to name just a few) in what is shaping up to be the most competitive edition of the 108 mile route to date. Dan is one to watch 

Dans cet épisode exceptionnel, je reçois Dave Pen, chanteur et musicien du groupe Archive, et Alexis Berg, réalisateur et photographe, pour parler de leur film "Run Again", projeté au Grand Rex le 12 novembre.Un homme, sept identités, une quêteDave se définit par sept identités : mari, père, frère, ami, fils, chanteur, coureur. En janvier 2023, entre les concerts de sa tournée européenne avec Archive, il se lance sur la Spine Race, l'une des courses les plus brutales au monde : 430 kilomètres en autonomie quasi complète à travers la campagne glaciale d'Angleterre.Une histoire qui commence dans une ruelle de SouthamptonTout débute lors de sa première sortie running, quand Dave s'arrête à mi-chemin, éprouvé... puis repart. C'est peut-être là, dans cette ruelle, que naît "Run Again" - le moment où il découvre qu'il est quelqu'un qui revient toujours.Du chaos à la lumièreNous revenons sur le parcours de Dave : son enfance à Southampton auprès d'un père qui luttait contre la dépression grâce à la course, ses débuts comme électricien avant de rejoindre Archive, sa découverte du trail en forêt où il trouve enfin la sérénité. En 2015, depuis sa chambre d'hôtel à Chamonix, il assiste au départ de l'UTMB et se fixe un objectif fou.2020 : quand tout s'effondreLa période Covid frappe de plein fouet. Archive ne peut plus tourner, Darius Keeler, membre fondateur du groupe, lutte contre un cancer. Dave doit reprendre son métier d'électricien pour subvenir aux besoins de sa famille. C'est dans ce contexte qu'il choisit la Winter Spine Race comme perspective.La rencontre de deux artistesAlexis Berg, qui avait vu Archive sur scène à 20 ans, retrouve Dave des années plus tard.

In this special episode, I welcome Dave Pen, singer and musician from the band Archive, and Alexis Berg, filmmaker and photographer, to talk about their film Run Again, premiering at the Grand Rex on November 12.One man, seven identities, one questDave defines himself through seven identities: husband, father, brother, friend, son, singer, runner. In January 2023, between concerts on Archive's European tour, he took on one of the toughest races in the world — the Spine Race: 430 kilometers of near-total self-sufficiency through the frozen English countryside.A story that begins in a Southampton alleyIt all starts during his first run, when Dave stops halfway, exhausted… then sets off again. Perhaps it's there, in that alley, that Run Again is born — the moment he discovers he's someone who always gets back up.From chaos to lightWe look back on Dave's journey: his childhood in Southampton with a father battling depression through running, his early years as an electrician before joining Archive, and his discovery of trail running in the woods — where he finally found peace. In 2015, from his hotel room in Chamonix, he watched the start of the UTMB and set himself a wild goal.2020: when everything collapsesThen came Covid. Archive could no longer tour, and Darius Keeler, the band's founding member, was fighting cancer. Dave returned to his job as an electrician to support his family. In the midst of this chaos, he chose the Winter Spine Race as a new horizon.The meeting of two artistsAlexis Berg, who had first seen Archive live at age 20, met Dave years later. Together, they decided to document his quest. But how do you film such raw vulnerability? How do you find the right distance from suffering? Alexis reflects on his approach — and on the duality between light and darkness that runs through his work.145 hours in the PenninesWe follow Dave along the course: his doubts, his tears, his bond with James — the companion he sings to mid-race. His parents waiting by the roadside. The mantra he repeats over and over: “I am a husband, I am a father, I am a brother, I am a friend, I am a singer, I am a runner.”Run Again: neither a film about trail running nor a film about musicIt's the story of a genuine, humble man in pursuit of happiness. A universal quest that speaks to us all. A film about the need to begin again — over and over — whether by passion or necessity, we're never quite sure.Photo: Alexis BergAttend the Grand Rex screening on November 12: https://www.billetweb.fr/the-run-again-show***Course Épique is the running and trail podcast that brings you extraordinary running stories in every episode.

Dans cet épisode exceptionnel, je reçois Dave Pen, chanteur et musicien du groupe Archive, et Alexis Berg, réalisateur et photographe, pour parler de leur film "Run Again", projeté au Grand Rex le 12 novembre.Un homme, sept identités, une quêteDave se définit par sept identités : mari, père, frère, ami, fils, chanteur, coureur. En janvier 2023, entre les concerts de sa tournée européenne avec Archive, il se lance sur la Spine Race, l'une des courses les plus brutales au monde : 430 kilomètres en autonomie quasi complète à travers la campagne glaciale d'Angleterre.Une histoire qui commence dans une ruelle de SouthamptonTout débute lors de sa première sortie running, quand Dave s'arrête à mi-chemin, éprouvé... puis repart. C'est peut-être là, dans cette ruelle, que naît "Run Again" - le moment où il découvre qu'il est quelqu'un qui revient toujours.Du chaos à la lumièreNous revenons sur le parcours de Dave : son enfance à Southampton auprès d'un père qui luttait contre la dépression grâce à la course, ses débuts comme électricien avant de rejoindre Archive, sa découverte du trail en forêt où il trouve enfin la sérénité. En 2015, depuis sa chambre d'hôtel à Chamonix, il assiste au départ de l'UTMB et se fixe un objectif fou.2020 : quand tout s'effondreLa période Covid frappe de plein fouet. Archive ne peut plus tourner, Darius Keeler, membre fondateur du groupe, lutte contre un cancer. Dave doit reprendre son métier d'électricien pour subvenir aux besoins de sa famille. C'est dans ce contexte qu'il choisit la Winter Spine Race comme perspective.La rencontre de deux artistesAlexis Berg, qui avait vu Archive sur scène à 20 ans, retrouve Dave des années plus tard.

Voici le RÉCAP D+ du 3 novembre 2025, le flash info du trail signé Distances+ présenté par Franck Berteau et Chloé Rebaudo, à écouter en quelques minutes chaque lundi.Au sommaire : la 2e place d'Alexandre Boucheix (Casquette Verte), sur le 100 miles du Kullamannen by UTMB, deux semaines après son top 10 sur la Diagonale des fous, les performances des Français Théo Detienne, Nicolas Gourdon, Julie Marini, Candice Fertin-Baccon, Thomas Butez et Gautier Bonnecarrère, au Mallorca by UTMB, en Espagne, ou encore les résultats du Lyon Urban Trail by Night.

Damian Hall is an ultrarunner, coach and writer who has held records on many of the UK's long distance challenges including the Pennine Way, Paddy Buckley Round, Cape Wrath Trail and Wainwrights Coast to Coast. He has placed 5th in UTMB (2018), 4th in Tor des Geants (2023), and has won the Spine Race. He has competed in the infamous Barkley Marathons ultra twice.Damian is also a founder of The Green Runners which is a global community of over 3000 runners who aim to highlight and take action on the climate and ecological crisis. Their 4 Pillars consider How We Move (travel), How We Kit-up, How We Fuel (diet), and How We Speak Out (activism). Damian talks us through the formation of The Green Runners, as well as talking about campaigns and activism, such as action taken against sportswashing. One of Damian's books is 'We Can't Run Away From This' which examines running's carbon footprint and ways to improve on this. In September 2025 and on the back of his Lakeland 100 win, Damian set out in suboptimal weather for his Three Solo Challenge where he attempted to run the UK Big Three rounds (Charlie Ramsay, Bob Graham and Paddy Buckley rounds) linked together by public transport. The Big Three had previously been linked together by car by Mark Hartley (1990) and then by bike by John Kelly (2020) in his Grand Round. Damian's round would add the vagaries of Britain's public transport system into the mix. We talk logistics and sleep deprivation, deteriorating weather, and about how he made the eventual decision to bail due to worsening conditions on the final half of the Paddy Buckley round in Snowdonia.

Joe Barrs recently, one of the first-ever finishers of the grueling 293-mile Montane Arctic Spine Race, a brutal ultramarathon across Sweden's Kungsleden Trail, where temperatures can plummet to -40°C and competitors haul their supplies on sleds.A seasoned adventurer and former Royal Marines Commando, Joe was drawn to the race by the camaraderie of the Spine Race community. He completed the course in eight days, 15 hours, and 19 minutes, tying for second place with fellow racer Ulf Nore. His background includes winter ultramarathons, Alpine skiing, and mountaineering, so he's no stranger to extreme endurance.Pic Credits - @willbaldlygo & @trail_bearXMILES UK - Listeners now receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link below.https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRRunderwear - Use code TEATRAILS15 for 15% off your orderhttps://runderwear.avln.me/c/GPVNMgMfYfLPSHOKZ - Use code TEA102025 to receive £10 off.https://uk.shokz.com?sca_ref=7394994.MfsDQZBAeLQihiPrecision Fuel & Hydration https://visit.pfandh.com/3GKxHjUPrecision Fuel & Hydration Planner https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zHarrier - Use code TEA10 for 10% off. https://harrierrunfree.co.uk/Fenixlight Limited - Use code T&T5 for 5% off your order.https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/Protein Rebel - Use code Tea15 for 15% off your first order. https://proteinrebel.com/Centurion Running - Use code TEAANDTRAILS10 to receive 10% off *Excluding Sale Items.https://centurionrunning.com/GOODR - Use code GOTEAANDTRAILS to reveive 10% off your order.https://goodr.avln.me/c/VLEmsAIZCDtmLIFE JACKET SKIN PROTECTION - Use code GOTYOURBACK for 10% off your first order.https://lifejacketskin.com/PRIMUS UK - Use code TT-PRIMUS-20 for 20& off.https://primusuk.avln.me/c/kBWmOJaEiByDContent may contain affiliate links which can help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.

Episode 202 of The Adventure Podcast features, long distance runner and construction worker, Jack Scott. Over the past few years Jack has grabbed the attention of the British ultra running scene for some stellar achievements that most people in the know thought were literally impossible. In 2024 Jack won the infamous Spine Race, a 268-mile ultramarathon along the Pennine Way, shattering the previous course record by over 10 hours. This isn't a conversation discussing trail shoes or favourite energy gels, instead this episode gives an insight into Jack's mind, attitude and where he finds his motivation. He talks to Matt about his previous gambling addiction and the 'dark and dangerous' place he has learnt to use, his Spine Race losses and win, his training mentality, and the importance of giving yourself time to grow.

We've all said it — “there just aren't enough hours in the day.” But Jasmin Paris proves otherwise.

We are joined by Maggie Mertens, the author of "Better Faster Farther: How Running Changed Everything We Know About Women," which challenges long-held beliefs about women in running. Starting with a powerful reminder from over a century ago, when a woman ran the first modern Olympic marathon without permission, the book reveals how women have faced relentless opposition from the medical establishment, media, and athletic associations. Despite these challenges, they ran barefoot, without sports bras, and sometimes disguised as men, defying quack science and societal norms. Mertens takes us from this boundary-breaking marathon in Greece in 1896 to today's ultra-marathons, like the Spine Race, where women have shattered records. The conversation explores the history of women in running, the progress made, and the lingering stereotypes and inequalities. It highlights the achievements of female athletes, the impact of Title IX, and the need for more research on women's bodies in sports. Overall, it sheds light on the importance of breaking down barriers and empowering women in the world of running. You can preorder the book now or buy it on June 18th when it is released.
