In this episode Kev tells the story of his 190 mile/300k run across England in the Northern Traverse Ultra race.  The poor thing sounds awful in this episode due to a very viscous bout of the most extreme man flu! For this and his monotone voice he apologises. Of course you still would not want to miss out on his amazing experience would you? So please take a listen.
