Get ready for an inspiring episode of Runpod as Jenni sits down with Phil Hayday-Brown, the co-founder and Race Director of the legendary Montane Spine Races—widely regarded as the most gruelling endurance race series on the planet.

The Montane Spine Races feature three extraordinary challenges. The original Winter Spine is a grueling 268-mile ultramarathon across the UK, drawing hundreds of participants, including elite athletes like Jasmin Paris. The Summer Spine follows the same punishing route but takes place in June, offering a unique test of endurance under warmer conditions and extended daylight. The newest addition, the Arctic Spine, is a staggering 296-mile expedition along Sweden’s Kungsleden trail. Participants must ski and haul sleds packed with all their gear, facing extreme cold and isolation—an event so formidable that no one has finished it yet.

Phil's career as a trailblazer in adventure racing and his experiences in polar expeditions will leave you in awe. From tales of extreme resilience to insights into the mental and physical grit it takes to conquer the world's toughest challenges, Phil's story is bound to motivate you.

Whether you’re looking to step out of your comfort zone, push yourself to new limits, or simply find the inspiration to head out for a jog in the brisk UK cold, this episode will spark your inner adventurer. Don’t miss it!
