  • Essential Listening!

    Basically a grown up subject for grown ups, by grown ups! Great selection of subjects, interesting SME’s and couple of really good hosts - what more could you want from a podcast? oh, and no swearing - not that the subject usually engenders this lack of vocabulary but for some reason these days podcasters seem to think it’s necessary to swear to show “smart and edgy” they are, ah well…please keep up up the output, greatly appreciated - love the shops too, some of the best around!

77: Sarah Perry @KMF 2025
Q: How did you use your Suunto watch to pace yourself through the event?
I used it on ultra mode, only focusing on what lap I'm on, the distance left, and time remaining, to keep it simple and not overwhelming.
77: Sarah Perry @KMF 2025
Q: How do you prepare for each lap of the Backyard Ultra?
I focus on one lap at a time and on the smaller tasks, like what I'm going to eat or if I need to change my T-shirt.
72: Everest 50 - Fast & Light with Tom Livingstone
Q: Does your packing strategy vary greatly from trip to trip based on the climb?
Tom explained that while practice helps, each trip's circumstances dictate specific gear, such as ropes and other climbing essentials, based on the nature of the climb.
