In this episode, listen to my run along the Dandenong Ranges with Ultrarunner, Isobel Ross. A few months ago, I interviewed Izzy about her experience with the Barkley Marathons. Lately, I have had a couple of opportunities to run with her and this is the first.

With no real set topics of discussion, listen along as we have a chat about a little bit of everything and see where the journey takes us!
