He’s navigated huge physical challenges along the way,including multiple cardiac procedures and a pacemaker, yet he keeps showing upwith the same quiet determination. We welcome to the show Bob Allison.

Tonight’s show is a little different than normal as our guest is not here to talk about themself but more the work they are doing for charity.

It’s thoughtful, grounded, and honest.And finally, we uncover an unexpected truth that may divide the endurance community forever:Marcus Scotney is not fussed on ice cream. 🍦❌Raw, reflective, and quietly hilarious — this is one you don’t want to miss.

Ross breaks down how he kept moving forward when the race stopped being about running and became about survival.If you want the Spine while it’s still fresh, Raw and unfiltered—before the stories soften—this is it.
