In this episode, I spoke to John Kelly about the forthcoming 2025 Winter Spine Race, a 268-mile non-stop race along the Pennine Way in the middle of UK winter.

John won this race in 2020, and holds the FKT for the Pennine Way overall, but experienced a DNF at the Spine in 2024.

Will 2025 be the year he retakes his crown?

I caught up with Ally Whitlock, who last year took third place at the inaugural Winter Downs 200, to find out more about the challenges she faced stepping up to this immense distance.
