  • The interviews and insight are giving me valuable advice for some of my upcoming long races. Especially recommend it for people training for or following the Spine race and Northern Traverse or similar.

  • Stu Westfield - great episode

    Really interesting content. I have come across Stu and his races having finished 3rd to Sam at the Peak District South and North in 2021. I also spent a day with him as part of my Spine preparation. Very knowledgeable guy and interesting to hear from a race directors viewpoint.

Q: How did your recent solo attempt go?
It didn't end exactly how I wanted it to end, but I feel it was the right decision to stop due to safety concerns.
Lindley Chambers | King Of The Spine Race Kit List!
Q: How did you come to the decision of removing the stove from the kit list?
People were not utilizing the stove often enough, and we decided that the weight could be better allocated to other essential gear while still ensuring safety in colder conditions.
Arthur Hill | New Winter Bob Graham Round Record!
Q: Was there a moment where you thought you wanted to be an ultrarunner?
Arthur mentions that ultrarunning wasn't something he initially aspired to; it organically developed out of his enjoyment of running in the hills around his hometown.

Q: How did you get to this point now where we're having a conversation about you breaking the Bob Graham round records?
