In this episode, we talk to David Clarke about his short but very full running journey


  • Starting Couch to 5K in August 2021
  • Working his way up the races to complete his first ultra within a year
  • Some crazy challenges, like a marathon a month Benjamin Buton Challenge that included the 57 miles Glasgow to Edinburgh ultramarathon
  • His first DNF (Did Not Finish) and how he recovered from failure and put it into perspective
  • The power of community, like-minded people and groups that can help such as the Fit Ayrshire Masses (FAMs)
  • A plea about your trailside pee (ing) behaviour and for more Strava honesty
