In the proper season 2 opener I look at my 5 favourite ultra marathons and discuss how having a truly epic adventure could be the very think you need over the safer more sedate option.  I also look back on my time racing the Vigo Valentines Tough Love 10, a ball busting ten mile race that I love going back to and you should too. All the races mentioned have reviews at www.ultraboyruns.com where there is a heap of further useless information for you to browse. The next running of the Vigo T...

It's something we all do but it is also something that we generally avoid talking about - poo. If you can't handle a bit of trail running poo chat, this podcast isn't for you (YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED).
