In this episode I talk to experienced ultrarunner David Harvey who decided to tackle a 140 mile race running from Whitehaven to Tynemouth along the coast to coast route. Within a 38hr cut off. Over the Lake District and the Pennines. With no aid stations. And a minimal support crew. And no listening to music allowed. So a bit harder than a parkrun.

Staged by the RD of ridiculous events Mark Cockbain, you know it’s going to be a tough one. I was sorely tempted to sign up myself!
