We're talking ultramarathon running as David attempts his first (even with his 'broken' ankle). 

Here's what's up for discussion: 

  • BBR ponders a possible all-French episode (pour un moment)
  • The guys reveal the first ever race to receive the Bad Boy Seal of Approval (hint: it's not Edinburgh)
  • Why Jody hates half marathons
  • David reveals his 80s action hero upbringing and explains his alter-ego movie star heritage
  • Jody explains why fitness writers events are very different from other writers' events
  • Some serious discussion about threshold running and getting it right
  • David signs up to run his first proper ultra and wants some advice
  • Jody reveals his theory of distance and why running a 'short' ultra and running a marathon are the same (kind of)
  • Why David's choice is a BAD first ultra...
  • The big 'what kit to take' debate (and another dig at Edinburgh Marathon)
  • The No.1 reason to run an ultra (according to Jody)
  • The unbearable boredom of running 24 hour ultra races on a running track
  • The guys explain how much sponsorship has been offered to the podcast
  • Jody explains he's as old as David now
  • And much more...

Enjoy!
