Pyllon Ultra SPECIAL: Reflecting on the first week of the End2End Trail


Listen Later

A special podcast this week. James chats to Paul about his first week on the end to end trail from the luxury of a Travelodge near Bristol. 

The end to end trail is a challenge to run from Lands End to John O'Groats. But in a twist from the usual fastest / straightest route, Paul has chosen to do it all on trail. Which adds 50% more distance and enough additional vert to fill a Himalayan mountain range. 


It's has been quite the week and we hear from Paul about landowners, long paths, nettles and the generosity of people in the running community. The scale of the challenge is becoming clear, and Paul talks about how he is approaching his days and the gratitude he feels for his crew mate. 

If you want to hear about nettles, hidden styles and the rising and falling of meandering trails, drop in.
