Ep 103 - Nick Bamford - The Road to UTMB

Nick Bamford is a man on a mission. Over the past two years he's clocked up an incredibly impressive resume and there are bigger things to come including a tilt at the iconic UTMB and an FKT attempt on the West Mac's Monster (231km's into Alice Springs).

Nick is a self confessed running geek and his insights into meticulous preparation and mind set are truly valuable. He offers great perspective on the idea of 'running happy' and insight into avoiding the dreaded pain cave.

As usual we get stuck into the important topics, like professional tiddlywinks, brewery sponsorship and "taking souls in the night"!
