This week we chat to Patreon Colin Bergstrand about how him and running partner Jon have completed no less than 30 Original Mountain Marathons (OMMs) !!!
Originally on YouTube here https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-sr8xa-135fe92
The OMM is a hugely challenging 2-day event held at the end of October where pairs must navigate through the mountains to find checkpoints, carrying all the kit they need to survive for two days of running, hiking and camping. I've done a couple in the summer and they were hard enough, so how on earth have Colin and John survived 30 in winter?!
Let's find out all their kit, training and navigation hacks and howlers, why they keep going back for more, and most importantly, if they're going for 40 next!

Tim answers all the questions and more, and will be back next month for another catch up - have your questions ready! Comment below or watch live and comment for the chance to get your ultra running questions answered.

Fantastic to talk to barefoot runner Anna McNuff - she ran 2,352 miles (90 marathons!) across Britain in 2019. I do have a confession to make in that I rarely enjoy reading books about someone running a long way or conquering some kind of hard as nails running challenge (I'd much rather be out on a run myself!) but I make an exception for Anna's books as they're so well written, engaging and hilarious I can't put them down.
This Barefoot Britain run in particular is also much more about one person completing a challenge and so much about inspiring others along the way including the people she ran with and the Brownies and Girl Guides she gave talks to. I love her zest for life, made up words, beautiful descriptions and honesty about situations and feelings that come with a huge challenge like this. I'm a massive fan, and I hope you enjoy her book as much as I did - link below!

Nick Knight joins us again for an enlightening chat with Q&A about getting older as runners (I'm 40 in Feb and feeling exhausted!) - what can we do to recover quicker and protect ourselves from common age-related running issues like osteoarthritis, and how can we come to terms with never again reaching PB's from previous years? Nick is from NK Active, one of the UK’s leading musculoskeletal and rehabilitation clinics. Find out more and book Nick and team at https://nkactive.co.uk/ and on their YouTube channel here @NKActiveClinics
