Listen Later

What a treat we have in store for you in our first guest episode on the West Coast Ultra Podcast.


In this episode, we talk to Gordon about


  • His journey to running, initially as a way to lose weight and then how he got hooked on the longer stuff
  • From passing out on the Roon the Toon 10k to running 100 miles (102 actually)
  • His favourite bits of kit
  • How changing his diet helped him recover better, increase his speed and reduce his heart rate, while losing SIX STONE in the process!!!
  • How he found a balance between getting the miles in that he needed to and fitting in with family life.


All that and a top tip not to be missed - in fact, it's vital you hear this. I promise that it'll make ALL of your runs that much more comfortable.
