• #90 Wez Swain

  #90 Wez SwainWhat an absolute pleasure this was to chat with race director and proud Scillonian Wez Swain. Based on the Isles of Scilly, 28 miles of the south west coast of Cornwall Wez, already an accomplished 'swim run' competitor took the bull by the horns and created the Scilly 60 Events company to showcase the beautiful running environment these isles provide.We chat about his experiences of the Arc of Attrition and his solo swim out into the Atlantic to reach a remote lighthouse. His enthusiasm is infectious and it's absolutely no surprise that his events have become incredibly popular and a much loved part of the running community calendar. His pride and appreciation for his home on this spectacular group of isles shines through too. I get a little tongue tied at the beginning of this episode and I must admit I was a little nervous for some reason before our chat, but Wez has that calming effect that all good race directors have and after a stutter and a laugh we were back on track for a really enjoyable chat. I hope you enjoy it too. Check out Wez and Scilly 60 Events here: https://scilly60.co.uk and you can find the news piece we mentioned on there too. and you'll find him on instagram here:https://www.instagram.com/scilly60/Thanks again to all of you for listening.

• #89 David Parrish

  Ex Royal Marine David Parrish joins me alongside a new guest co-host, Jodie Gauld, to talk multi-day adventures, his victory at the 2023 Cape Wrath Ultra and how he's preparing for the 2025 Dragon's Back Race. Alongside his record breaking companion, 'Munro' the spaniel, David has been running and hiking in the mountains in his native Scotland since leaving the military and his skills in the mountains showed with a dominating performance on the CWU, but he's taking a slightly different approach now he's taking on the Dragon. From humble running beginnings, recording his runs with pencil and paper, he's exploded onto the UK endurance scene as an all round and versatile athlete placing 3rd overall on the 2024 Northern Traverse.Thanks again to all of you for listening.

• #87 Shane Ohly

  I’ve been itching to have Shane back on the show for a number of reasons.The foremost of these was his completion of the Dragon’s Back in a one’r, creating an FKT for this iconic route. It’s also the first real ‘3 peat’ achievement in appearing as a guest on the pod’!We chatted about his sub 24 hour finish on January’s  Arc of Attrition by UTMB 100 miler and discuss how his experience as both a competitor and viewpoint as a race director measured up and how the first race under UTMB banner went. I’m also asked a question that left me lost for words for the first time in 87 episodes! It’s a great chat about the ‘went rights’ and ‘went wrongs’ which is why I love doing these interviews so much. Finally we talked about my new project, Ginger Goat Events which will touring the UK this year and why Ourea chose to become our primary sponsor. Thanks again to all of you for listening.

  #86 Noor van der VeenOn this episode I speak to ultra runner and mountaineer Noor van der Veen. Noor turned up with an awesome performance on this year's 100 mile Arc of Attrition by UTMB taking 1st place in the women's race comfortably. As always we cover a whole host of topics including race recce's and tactics, opinions on the race and the realities of female participation in the world of trail ultras. As humble as she is talented it was an absolute pleasure to chat with her for an hour despite the fact we both came down with colds last night. Special shout out to Lily the cat who provided perimeter security for Noor during our interview. Outstanding job Lily xThanks again to all of you for listening.
