In this episode I am joined by my good friend Levi Charlton where we both talk about what it took for both of us to complete the 220 mile ultra marathon 'Race Across Scotland'.

Listen as we talk about the obstacles we both faced just making the start line and everything it took to get through it from low points to our minds wandering lol.

I absolutely loved this conversation and in truth we could have talked all day.

A good insight into the highs and lows of Ultra running but more importantly what it takes to do hard things in life but how important it is to do them anyway.

I hope you love listening to this as much as I did having it.

As always if you do, please let others like it too by sharing it and giving your thoughts.

In this episode I am joined by Transformational Wellbeing coach David Barnes who shares his amazing journey from rock bottom to being of service with his amazing coaching business.

“Blind drunk to 20-20 vision”

At the end of 2020, I was in a bad place: weighing 19st 5lb, on medication, smoking 20 cigarettes a day, drinking heavily, and dealing with broken relationships and anger. I didn't like who I was behind my “mask.”Using available tools, I began changing my habits slowly and steadily.

I wrote things down, understood them better, lost weight, changed my relationship with alcohol, and learned new ways to cope.

I made daily efforts to improve, staying active and continually learning what worked and why.

Fast forward 3 1/2 years from “rock bottom”: I now weigh 13st 13lb, am off medication, don’t smoke, have repaired relationships, and haven’t drunk alcohol in 2 1/2 years.

I commit daily to being the best version of myself and helping as many people as I can. https://www.instagram.com/rx4lakes/

This was a special episode where I spoke with Inov8 athlete and Montane winter Spine winner and record holder Jack Scott.

We covered so much in this conversation and learned how Jack overcame gambling addiction through running, how he learned to master the suffering in his unbelievable effort in the Spine race.

Jack shares some background into what makes him tick and maybe even a little secret of what might or might not come next.

Trust me this is so much more than running and gives an incredible insight into a winning mindset.

I loved the chance to see just how humble Jack was, I was captivated by his calmness but could see the competitor deep in the eyes as he spoke.

"When I finished Mactuff everyone applauded and I’d never felt such an achievement, it’s that sense of satisfaction that comes when finishing something challenging. Believe in yourself even when no one does . No matter how many times people try to criticize me only makes me work harder to prove them wrong"
