First a wee race preview of the Western States Endurance Run which starts Sat 26 Jun over in California and second a wee bit of awareness raising for a previous guest. David Wallace (S1 Eps 6) is attempting a DOUBLE Ramsay Round in the Lochaber Munros this weekend. Raising funds while taking on this monumentally epic endurance feat.

But our main event! Sam Miller recently participated in the first road marathon on Scottish soil for over 18 months, the first post COVID lockdown get together.  The Strathearn Marathon takes in some beautiful scenary as it snakes it's way around the country roads of rural Perthshire. Sam only realised he was due to be on the start line 3 weeks before.

Listen in as Sam enlightens us as to his unique approach to getting around 26.2 miles. We chart some of his past glories too, he's a man who likes to take on a challenge shall we say. In his own unique style Sam entertains us for the entire episode with a series of amusing tales from his 10 years of running. He'll maybe never win a race but, like us, the sheer satisfaction of completing drives Sam on to take on some mad cap challenges that many would turn their back on.

With the carrot of a footlong Meatball Marinara Subway being dangled drawing him towards the finish line come find out if Sam completed his Couch to 42k! Sam also asks you the listeners a question, what Ultra Marathon should be his first!?

Throw in a couple of our fav dialect dictionary entries so far and it's an episode not to miss!
