August 02, 2020Ep15: You could have been running the Lakeland 100. Dan did!The Lakeland 100 is one of the most challenging single stage races in the UK. The DNF rate of 50% shows it’s a real step beyond your standard 100 and tests runners up to and beyond their breaking point.With a combination of terrain and the always unpredictable Lake District weather you are as likely to retire from trench foot as heatstroke.It’s this challenge that sets the race apart and ensure competitors return year after year to settle a score with the course. Hear how Dan got on last year when he set out to put right his previous DNF. Contains controversial discussions of iron distance triathlon VS 100 milers as well!

June 20, 2020Ep13: You could have been running The Spine Challenger. Chris did!The Spine Challenger is the sister race to the full Spine. At ‘only’ 108 miles you could be forgiven it’s just another 100 miler but it’s anything but, as proven by the 60 hour cut off and even then less than 50% of competitors finish it.Chris is a very accomplished runner and has a number of race wins and top 10 finishes at serious races like the Lakeland 100 so he’s anything but average but this is a race that pushed him well beyond anything else he’s done before.https://thespinerace.com/events/2018/1/14/montane-spine-race-5gsj5 ...more1h 19minPlay
