Episode 10: Talking TCR with Josh Ibbett and reflecting on the changing sport of Ultra Cycling
Q: What closing tip would you offer someone signing up for their first Ultra?
The core advice is to just do it, start the race, expect setbacks, and focus on finishing as best as you can, using each race as a learning opportunity for the next.
Episode 10: Talking TCR with Josh Ibbett and reflecting on the changing sport of Ultra Cycling
Q: What keeps you coming back to ultra racing after so many years?
Josh emphasizes the love of the journey, the community, and the continuous learning that comes from facing new places and challenges, with consistent training and adaptability as key drivers.
Episode 07: No secrets Q&A with George sales. Fuelling, mindset and sleeping gear. + Am I organising a race?
Q: would you ever design a race route, and what would it be like?
The idea exists and would likely draw on long off-road routes in southern England, combining varied terrain, regular resupply, and controlled checkpoints perhaps with a Barkley-inspired page-collection mechanism to verify progress; the concept envisions a smaller, potentially free-format ultra with a strong experiential component.
Episode 07: No secrets Q&A with George sales. Fuelling, mindset and sleeping gear. + Am I organising a race?
Q: how do you manage water and fluids when there are no shops open at night?
Plan ahead with water capacity tailored to the race and resupply points; pre-fill before night shifts, carry water and electrolyte options, and use a combination of hydration packs and carried bottles to maintain continuous fueling without waiting for shops; stay flexible and ready to buy water if needed.
