Dave Harvey: From Belligerence to ultra glory

In this episode, we’re joined by local legend and friend of the pod Dave Harvey — ultra runner, metal guitarist, mental health champion, and co-host of our favourite local show: The Portsmouth Running Podcast.

From shredding riffs in Belligerence to shredding trails at UTMB, TDS, Lakeland 100, Western States, and every Centurion race going, Dave’s journey is nothing short of epic.

We dive into:

• Winning Cardiff to London and The Tunnel

• Logging 200-milers on Strava as “Morning run” 😎

• His love of posh coffee and hatred for Coldplay

• The crossover between music, mindset, and mental health

• Behind the scenes of SMOGATHON — the greatest unofficial race you’ve never heard of

• And plenty of tales from the trails, riffs, and aid stations

So lace up, plug in, and get ready to step inside the mind of a man who lives loud, runs long, and lifts others along the way.
