What have poodles, umbrellas, VIP boxes and the sky falling in got in common? They are all things that Kirsty saw on her incredible run from St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay on this year's Northern Traverse.

In this episode Kirsty talks about comparing events when you've done them more than once, and how to know when you're ready to take on these huge distances.

She also shares with us her newest endurance challenge - reading the Hardest Geezers book. There are some of your questions anwsered as well as the usual waffle - let us know what you think in the reviews/comments.
