Hello :)
This episode (a bit delayed) is all about the Ultramarathon I entered and attempted in May 2025. It is, very much, an example of 'I do these things so you don't have to'.
Topics discussed in this episode are:
* Why I thought about doing an Ultra-Marathon
* What *is* an ultra-marathon anyway?
* How I trained for my ultra, and how you *should* train for an ultra
* Obligatory kit to take on an ultra, and why you need it
* How I felt running the first half of the ultra
* (An advert for the Barefoot Festival)
* How I felt running the second half of the ultra
* How I physically felt having finished the ultra
* Food and drink, and sustenace you need to be aware of, while running an ultra
* Why failing to finish an ultra isn't a bad thing at all
* Thoughts about privilege in being able to run an ultra
* Lessons Learned
A PDF transcript of this podcast is available.
