James Elson and Allie Bailey Recap the 2023 Autumn 100 - a race which Allie actually ran in herself for the third time.

An initial chat through her direct experiences from pre to post race with all gory details included, moves into a discussion of the overall event and a look ahead. Enjoy! Warning: Contains some bad language (As usual!).

This episode features an interview with the unstoppable Ken Fancett, on the eve of his incredible feat of finishing his 100th, 100 mile ultra finish at the Autumn 100 in mid October. James and Ken discuss his career, changes in the sport, what has driven and enabled him to get to this point and what comes next. Sound quality is a bit all over the place unfortunately but we hope so valuable nuggets of wisdom throughout from one of the true superstars of the sport.
