In this episode I talk to Olly who decided that some fast marathons were ideal prep for a race described as “The World’s Toughest Mountain Race” and entered the Dragon’s Back Race, a mere jog down the length of Wales, over 5 days. It covers 195 miles with some serious climbing, starting in Conwy and finishing in Llandeilo in South West Wales.

He has some great tips and advice on what it takes to complete this awesome challenge.
