Fasted running has become a ‘buzzword’ among runners, but Haroon Mota took the term to a new level when he ran 260km during the month of Ramadan. In doing so, he raised £50,000 for the Penny Appeal. We spoke to him about this amazing feat and how he started running as a bucket list thing to do, how it helped him when his dad sadly passed away and how he hopes to encourage more members of the BAME community to take up running.

We also talk tech with Kieran Alger, who questions whether we're already paying for Strava with our data and believes there MIGHT be a very nerdy solution to all those random and inaccurate runs when your GPS lets you down.

Adam Blythe raced at the highest level within the world of professional cycling for 10 years, but when he retired last year he needed something to do to keep fit, so he started running. We talk to him about what he enjoys about running, what it's like to be a newbie to a sport again, how wine helps you run a fast 5K and why leather bum bags are no good at holding stuff when running.

Our guest of the week is also our man tech man Kieran Alger, so we did some normal running chat that covered off how we're all finding running without races on the horizon and then we dive into some tech chat about the new Polar Grit X watch, etiquette on chasing Strava segments and some running tech for those on a budget.

Rick and Ben discuss headphones and running (again) and then read out some fantastic letters that we received this week that made us feel all warm about running.

A bumper episode with many guests, all of whom are brilliant.

First up, fellow podcasters Ned Boulting, Laura Laker and Adam Tranter aka Streets Ahead join us to discuss the impact that COVID-19 is and should be having on transport infrastructure and how the way we engage with our environment needs to change.

Rick then chats to to the inspirational and impressive Eleanor Davis, who is not only an elite marathoner but is also a doctor fighting COVID-19.

This episode is also explicit as Ned says sh*t. Sorry about that, but it was justified.

Event Director at The London Marathon, Hugh Brasher, and CEO of Human Race, Nick Rusling speak to Ben and Rick about The 2.6 Challenge, a fund raising event taking place on Sunday 26th April when thousands of runners would have been taking to the street of London to run the marathon and raise millions of pounds for numerous charities. The real significance of the race not taking place isn't about medals, it's about the money normally raised not being there for charities who need it, and that's where the 2.6 Challenge comes in.
