Ep 35 - Running your first ultramarathon

Send us Fan Mail

We're talking ultramarathon running as David attempts his first (even with his 'broken' ankle). 

Here's what's up for discussion: 

• BBR ponders a possible all-French episode (pour un moment)
• The guys reveal the first ever race to receive the Bad Boy Seal of Approval (hint: it's not Edinburgh)
• Why Jody hates half marathons
• David reveals his 80s action hero upbringing and explains his alter-ego movie star heritage
• Jody explains why fitness writers events are very different from other writers' events
• Some serious discussion about threshold running and getting it right
• David signs up to run his first proper ultra and wants some advice
• Jody reveals his theory of distance and why running a 'short' ultra and running a marathon are the same (kind of)
• Why David's choice is a BAD first ultra...
• The big 'what kit to take' debate (and another dig at Edinburgh Marathon)
• The No.1 reason to run an ultra (according to Jody)
• The unbearable boredom of running 24 hour ultra races on a running track
• The guys explain how much sponsorship has been offered to the podcast
• Jody explains he's as old as David now
• And much more...

Enjoy!
