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.
