The Josh Raeburn Episode

This week we have the only guest who is actually younger than me - Josh Raeburn.

Josh talks about how he has found his way into the world of ultrarunning, although he has just arrived.

We discuss:

How he used running as a way to get a handle on his fitness with less free time and also following a knee injuryGetting serious about running and putting himself in the right environment with running clubsUsing challenges to test your limits and see what happens when you get thereUsing ultrarunning as a way of testing your limits and how you react when you get thereGoing all in with training and diet and looking at how the small improvements add upThe importance of getting the right people around you to motivate, inspire and supportBalancing a young family and trainingHow he uses tech to manage himself during very long efforts (I love the geekery involved in this)
