In the latest episode James interviews John Kelly and Damion Hall and gets so much out of them by asking all the right questions and allowing them room to speak. He is highly knowledgeable about all sides of the sport of Ultra and trail running. This episode will talk to all of our ultra community.

Having just completed the spine myself this was a brilliant episode. My head is in the same space as James in that I will never do it again! Really interesting to hear Matt (5 time finisher) and Damien (4 time finisher, winning this year) talk about what gets them going back year after year....Read full review »

Utterly interesting even though it’s just two blokes chewing the fat . Love it and wish they would do more , shame they too busy running . Probably my favourite podcast

Great listen. Both informative and amusing. Excellent banter between the hosts who clearly love running, respect each other, and don’t take their impressive achievements too seriously. About to have a crack at a 250km and have found this a brilliant listen

Wasn’t expecting it, but it’s bloody brilliant. Currently working through all the episodes

God I love this podcast. Just realised there are some new episodes for lockdown 2. I’ve listened them to whilst running this morning and gave myself a stitch I was laughing so much. Made my day - the podcast, not the stitch!

Started listening during lock down from the first episode and have been slowly working my way through. Really enjoy the interviews and the jokes between James and Dan. However hands down favourite part so far is the lockdown daily. Mostly nothing to do with running but hilarious to listen to.

I enjoy listening to this as I run- it’s interesting insight into a world I’m venturing into. They don’t offer advice per se- but you pick it up on the way with their conversation and stories. They are pretty chill too :)

The daily (ish) lockdown diaries have been brilliant and bonkers all at the same time. There have been moments when I have been out running and had to stop as I was laughing out loud so much. Highlights - shuffle dancing, foraging, the phone buzzing in the back ground, the seagulls, the Rio shirt...Read full review »

Really interesting and fun pod but production needs to be improved. Echos and feedback a regular feature.
Cp4567 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/10/20
Brilliantly entertaining , Dan and James are the new double act to rival Morcambe & Wise, Hale & Pace, et al. Thanks for keeping me smiling and great to meet you both at the running show.

Who doesn’t love a bit of lockdown ultra chat?! James and Dan keeping it real with a Stella McCartney Olympic shirt.

Boys you guys are awesome. I’m a cop in NZ (previously from Shrewsbury) I love your podcast it’s amazing. You sound like really great mates and you crack me up. Every day I’m hovering over my iPod to download your latest podcast. I’m a sort of ultra runner (I’ve entered 5 x 100 milers completed...Read full review »

shuffle dancing, chainsaws, pooing and muntjaks. everything an ultra running podcast should discuss and that others dare not to! had me gripped from the first episode.
andi dunn via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/21/20
I love you witty chat, makes me chuckle on my runs
Aderyn Bach via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/19/20
The “dog poo” story in no 11 left me crying in tears!!!
Smiffy28 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/18/20
Hope you recover soon James, nice dancing Dan!

Brilliantly adhoc and mostly nonsense, just what’s needed in these serious times 👏🏻
jel183 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/17/20
I keep checking for day 10. Keep them coming please chaps
Ffhytd via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/16/20
Great listen, these two do talk some random rubbish, but it is good fun, and at times educational too, at least Dan now knows that a Muntjac deer isn’t a monster! There’s also some great running related conversation too!
Simon Lynch via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/15/20
Funniest two guys to come out of Britain since the two Ronnies.
Wigwam63 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/13/20
Loving you 2 chewing the fat on utter nonsense, keeping a smile on my face in these trying times 🙂 shuffle dancing - who knew?!??
Dacoiks15 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/12/20

A great daily listen with James and Dan.....down to earth, honest and funny! Thankyou guys!
ZoeNorm via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/11/20
Highlight of my day (other than Saturday when it’s time to mow the lawn). Thank you both!
Disgruntled BA customer via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/11/20
I’m loving the daily lock down podcasts. Had me laughing out loud, listening to pure gold while getting in an early morning run. Please keep it going.
Leon5632 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/10/20
A big shout out to the both of you. Thank you for your continued banter at this time. I’m a Brit Ultra runner who lives, works and runs in the UAE. Unfortunately due to lock down we are unable to go out for our usual trail runs. Respecting the local laws I make full use of my treadmill and I look...Read full review »

Always entertaining and insightful and for a novice new to the sport this podcast shines a light on the dark art of ultra running. Great work and thanks for making it.
Neilsyard via Apple Podcasts · France · 03/03/20
Really enjoy your podcast! I have listened to the episode re Barkley marathons and ruining length of Jordan at least 6 times. I listened to all available episodes in the first 2 days I found your podcast - Seth DeMoor here in the States recommended it in one of his daily vlogs. Can’t wait for...Read full review »
leadville2020 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/04/20
Really good podcast. James & Dan have a nice conversational style, with good humour thrown in. I’m not an ultra runner at all, but I always enjoy listening to this show & particularly like the focus on the grassroots scene. It actually makes me want to give ultra distance a go...
twinning_is_winning via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/15/19
James and Dan are top of the game ultrarunners and give an honest, relaxed and varied take on the world of ultra with their all-star guests. Easy listening and great on a long run 👍
MaxRunsLong via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/15/19
Great podcast, just found it! Very interesting and funny, hope it continues!
smartboy1313 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/26/19
I only discovered these podcasts a few weeks ago, since when I’ve listened to half a dozen of them. I have been reduced to tears of laughter on more than one occasion and have also been inspired to enter new races and train harder. Please keep up the good work. It’s very much appreciated.
Squeaks73 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/16/19
Great podcast, interesting stories. Really enjoy. Just starting to run ultras at 68.
Myarunning via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/19
The thing about a podcast with two presenters is that they must obviously get along and boy do James and Dan do this in style! I have never run an ultra but I know an awful lot of people who have and I follow the subject avidly! This podcast brings a particularly British slant to the subject and...Read full review »

The best trail running podcast out there for British fans of the sport, really good in depth interviews with genuinely interesting guests, keep up the great work James and Dan!
trailcasual via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/22/18
Great to have an ultra running podcast for races that I can actually compete in not races on the other side of the world. Keep up the good work.
Ultra slow via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/29/18
Awesome podcast! Love listening to you guys. Most entertaining and informative running podcast I’ve heard. Keep up the good work and keep the episodes comin!
Becwatson via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/02/18
Keep them going please! Love hearing from the UK ultra running crowd. Really enjoyed this one with Dan and Tracy. Very inspiring and incredibly modest! How about some interviews from the back of the pack too, every now and again? Some inspirational stories to be heard too!
Purple):):)45 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/18
Great Podcast if you love the great outdoors and taking off on your own running adventures, great hosts in James and dan and amazing guests who all inspire me to go further and train harder, can’t wait to attempt my own Ultra soon
jonnysimmo via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/23/18
Nice to have a British based podcast on ultra running with a focus on UK events. Hopefully more to come guys, good work.
jimmyfatwing via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/31/17
A great podcast dedicated to the UK ultra running scene and athletes. The relationship between Dan and James works really well. Good sound quality and great content. My only negative comment would be the intro and outro music is too long, that aside, content is great.
CurleyGarry via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/09/17
Essential listening for UK ultra marathoners. Interesting chat from James and Dan, and great interviews.
Hove Hurrier via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/06/17
A nice laid back style of podcasts. Keep up the good work James and Dan...I’m looking forward to hearing about the Gobi desert success.
Rileforce via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/04/17
This is a great podcast. The format is spot on, please keep it going, the British ultra-running scene has been in need of something with this level of informal yet quality content.
BBultrarunner via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/15/17
Great new podcast - refreshing and worth a listen to hear what is going on with British ultra runners.
stevevfoster via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/28/17
Absolutely loved this! They have pitched it just right - best ultrarunning podcast I have listened to - relevant and interesting. (good sound quality also)
