Episode Synopsis "I ran my first marathon"

We ran the first marathon of our ultramarathon training schedule. 7 months out from the start line, we decided to see where our fitness was physically and mentally. We ran for a total of 5 hours 15 minutes and boy did we have to solve problems when we were out there. In November, we run a 50-mile ultramarathon, "The Impossible Dream". What happens when you take two normal guys and set a challenge that everybody else says is impossible! In this episode, we talk about the race, how we felt, what went wrong and we reveal the challenges we have coming up.  Upcoming running challenges: How much distance can we cover on foot in 8 hours? A challenge of strategy, timing, patience, grit and determination. Chris versus Jake. Same starting position, opposite directions, who can run, walk and stumble furthest!  4x4x24, SHAMELESSLY ripped from the machine David Goggins, who runs 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours. Whilst we will have to channel our inner goggins to complete this challenge, we have shortened it to 24 hours. We will set of at midnight and run 4 mile, then again at 4am, then again at 8am, right up until midnight 24 hours later than when we first set off. Another challenge, another mad idea from Chris, but the perfect recipe to push our bodies further physically and mentally, both of which will be tested to the hilt during our first 50 mile ultramarathon.  As usual please subscribe to this podcast to be notified for future episodes, we will start posting twice a week, one of which will be our weekly running ultramarathon training diary. The challenges we are taking on and our progress closer to the goal of achieving "The Impossible Dream".
