About this episode
This week we take a look at the world of Ultra Running in the company of Holly Wootten who recently won the women’s event at the Dragon’s Back Race - considered to be one of the toughest mountain races in the world covering 380 km.
In a fascinating interview Holly gives an amazing insight into all the challenges Ultra Runners face from carrying food to planning recovery, dealing with the weather to working out the quickest route. Then there’s also the small matter of the ‘Pain Cave’!
