Alastair has been a friend and fellow lover of the epic Spartathlon for several years. Al has finished Top 10 in it and been first British runner. His running achievements are long and varied.
In this soulful and reflective episode we touch on the early days when (like so many) Al read Scott Jurek's inspirational "Eat and Run" book and he first learnt about this 'impossible' ultra called Spartathlon.
We delve into what it meant for Al to wear his country's vest during the Anglo Celtic Plate 100km and to share the track with so many brilliant runners.
Special time is spent reflecting on Al's experiences of employing a coach - not any Coach! - Only Camille Herron - in our opinion one of the greatest ultra athletes on the planet. h
We have some banter around race shoes that we don't love, why Al's beloved whisky industry might crash, whether Daft Punk breaking up was a good thing.....
Huge thank you to Al - not only for his time on this podcast but for being such a beautiful soul and an incredible competitor in the ultramarathon community. Al has already achieved some sensational race goals but there's no doubt even more to come.

Dean Karnazes quote!!!! If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience a different life, run a marathon. If you want to talk to God, run an ultra.
