Hello December!! The festive season is upon us, but that's nae excuse for us not to keep churning out the podcast goods. In fact we hear Santa is a big fan, and we wouldn't want to disappoint the big man this month. We like to speak to athletes from the front of the pack, the back of the pack and of course the middle of the pack. Our episode guest today admits to being a bonafide member of the middle of the pack gang. It's an esteemed gang with John's membership being stamped for approval at the mo and Steven being a long standing member. Ross Beveridge, a Dad of 2 young kids (or bairns as we like to call them) juggles a busy home life with his adoration of running.  Running, especially ultra running, can be time consuming.  Ross though has managed to find the balance of that hectic home life and still achieve the remarkable in his running world. A self confessed non-runner before finding a treadmill in the gym whilst on honeymoon he soon found an attraction to pounding the pavements. The bug then grew and today he stands with multiple (and we mean multiple!) finishes in an array of ultra marathons across the UK. His race CV reads like a glittering prize. We have a brilliant chat with Ross covering his running story, he's remarkably understated about his achievements but we soon unearth his motivations, his passions and of course his favourite post race refuelling rewards! And after a tumultuous 4 or 5 years of races behind him what lies ahead for him, *spoiler alert* 2022 see's quite the change of direction bubbling away! We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did recording it, use it to build your own plans for 2022, it'll inspire you to plan a big big year!
