Welcome back to our bite sized series on Smarter Than Yesterday. These shorter 20 to 30 minute episodes sit alongside our guest conversations and give you a behindthe scenes look at training, mindset, and preparation in real time.

 In this episode, Alex talks through the start of his latest challenge and the road ahead. Kicking off the year with his first simulation run, Alex breaks down a 25 mile effort completed as five rounds of five miles. Each loop was run for 50 minutes followed by 22 minutes of rest, replicating the demands of long distance endurance racing.

 This episode gives insight into how Alex is preparing for his biggest challenge yet, Endure24, a 24 hour race taking place in Reading over the weekend of 6 and 7 June 2026. With a goal of running 100 miles, the months ahead will include four key simulation races of 25, 35, 50, and 75 miles, focusing not just on running but also fuelling, recovery, pacing, and mindset.

 If you’re interested in endurance, long term preparation, or how big goals are built one smart step at a time, this episode gives a real and honest look at the process.

 🎧 Tune in and follow the journey as the Road to Endure24 begins.
