We’re back and I’m back chatting again with Dom Halbert, joined this time by his wife Christina. Ultra running continues to grow in popularity and I have had to concede that you don’t need to have a few screws loose to do it. Dom has been in it for a while now, doing events in the UK and the USA. Recently he ran about 125 miles at the Suffolk Backyard Ultra. We discuss Backyard racing and its mental and physical demands. With Christina we chat about the demands placed on the ‘support crew’ too! Whether you are a sceptic, tempted to give ultra running a go, or even sn experienced Backyarder.. this will make great listening next time you want to head out for that extra mile!Follow us on Facebook here https://www.facebook.com/cambridgeendurancesports.

Mark Matthews has been at the forefront of the news in the endurance-sports world recently as the team manager for his wife Katrina at the ‘Sub 8’ Project where she completed the Ironman Triathlon distance in 7:31:54!! Mark and I discussed his role and the tactics involved in this event at some length, but before we do so we talk about Mark’s own sporting background and achievements which are certainly wide-ranging and considerable! From junior triathlons to winning fun runs and then going into cross-country skiing and biathlon before returning to triathlon and winning the overall age-group title at Ironman Barcelona on his debut at the distance. Mark is a great fan of Cambridge and also has the honour of having won the Cambridge Punting Race!! You can follow Mark on Instagram at https://instagram.com/markmatt29?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=.
