Lee Nicholson shares a story that puts running into perspective: while out on a run, he ended up saving someone’s life. It’s a moment that sparked a bigger conversation about the culture around running—how easily it can become a selfish pursuit, and why that mindset can come at a cost.In this episode, we talk about awareness, responsibility, and why runners need to do a better job of looking beyond their own splits, sessions, and goals. Lee makes the case that running might often be a solo endeavour, but it shouldn’t make us less switched on to the people around us. A powerful conversation about safety, perspective, and making the miles better—for ourselves and for everyone else.

Ed Burnham doesn’t do things by halves. In this episode, we talk about his jump from running a marathon straight into WildHorse 200—a leap most people wouldn’t even consider—and what that says about the way he approaches challenge, discomfort, and the unknown.We also get into one of the more ridiculous endurance efforts you’ll hear about: holding a world record for pushing a lawnmower for 24 hours around a rugby pitch. It’s a conversation about ultras, big decisions, and the kind of mindset that makes someone look at an absurd idea and think, yeah, let’s give that a go. Honest, funny, and full of the energy that comes with people who are wired to test themselves.

Paul Evans is back on the podcast—and since the last time we spoke, he’s added two 100-mile races to the list, along with plenty more ultra experience. In this episode, we catch up on what’s changed, what those races taught him, and how his thinking has evolved as the distances keep getting bigger.We talk planning, logistics, training, and the kind of nonsense that somehow always comes with ultra running. We also get into the build towards Wildhorse 200—what goes into preparing for something that big, how to stay practical when the challenge is anything but, and why experience only helps if you actually learn from it.
