Send us Fan MailJonathan Steele had an unusual journey into the world of ultrarunning many years ago. A competitive bodybuilder and martial artist, the shift to ultrarunning wasn't exactly on the cards until he was holidaying in the Lake District and a sign for a local trail route caught his interest. That route was the Bob Graham Round and he decided to make that his first foray into ultrarunning! In this episode, Jody speaks with Jonathan about attempting Bob Graham, his three attempts at the UTMB (and why the first one failed somewhat...) and just what attracted him to running some of the most physically and mentally challenging races in the UK, including The Hill - a 160 mile race up and down Shining Tor 55 times! For many, Jonathan is, of course, better known as the race director for the Hardmoors Race Series and explains where the ideas for the trail and ultra series came from, what the Hardmoors community is like and the best way to tackle the races are for a newbie.

Send us Fan MailPamela Chapman Markle is a phenomenon. At the age of 55, she decided to take up running, thanks to the suggestion of a work colleague. However, when she went to sign up for the Rocky Raccoon 50 miler (a pretty punchy first race, admittedly), it was full. Undeterred Pamela signed up for the Rocky Raccoon 100 miler instead... (yes, a 100 miler as her FIRST race!) and the rest is history. Jody and David speak to Pamela about how she manages to hold down a full-time job while also kicking ass on ultras from the Keys Ultras to Badwater and the Brazil 135. Enjoy!

Send us Fan MailTraining for ultras is hard. All those long runs and hours spent on trails trying to build endurance and maintain your conditioning. Now imagine having to do that in a war zone. Instead of miles of trails you can run on, you have to train by running a km loop around a dusty compound in searing heat. Or you only have access to a treadmill in a dark, lonely gym. Or a small underground car park. Well, if that sounds grim just wait until you hear what Stephanie Case has to do to get ready for her crazy ultras. A veteran of some of the world's most infamous ultras including the Tour des Geants and Barkley Marathons. As a human rights lawyer for the UN, Stephanie has to do all her training in the most restrictive conditions, having been based in flash points such as Gaza and Afghanistan. In this episode, Jody and David speak to Stephanie about how she trains for her races in such conditions and discuss the impact of her Free To Run charity, which uses the power of running to help women and girls to overcome the harmful effects of conflict and discrimination. And it is CRAZY, what she's managed to achieve. Well worth a listen. Enjoy! If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else.

Send us Fan MailWarning - this episode is a full shoe geek out, thanks to David's exclusive interview with Brett Holt, vice president of Nike Running Footwear. David was at the high profile launch of Nike's follow-up racing shoe and speaks to Brett about exactly what is different and why the changes were made. Here's what you'll hear: The exact feedback Elliot Kipchoge gave Nike that led to the changes How the issues with the last version of the shoe have been addressed Why the shoe is priced at an eye-watering £239 And why, unless you're quick, you're not going to be getting your hands on this shoe... and it's all part of Nike's plan Before the interview, David is joined by Allie for general BBR chit chat shenans and then after the interview is joined by Jody to break down what was said. Yes, it is confusing but roll with it, ok? Oh, and don't forget to leave a confusing 5 star review on the Cultra podcast iTunes review page mentioning BBR. Remember, they're obliged to read out every single five star review... so make it weird. Enjoy!

Send us Fan MailThis week is a little bit special as David brings on his running club's director from Heathside, Jerry Odlin. Jerry has been there and done it in terms of running clubs and lifts the lid on what goes on behind the scenes of one of London's popular running clubs, how the make-up of running clubs has changed, the challenges faced by clubs and generally how running has changed. It's a fascinating view from Jerry and well worth a listen as BBR is on the verge of launching its own running club (if England Athletics don't boot BBR out before we've begun...) Plus, there's the usual chat beforehand. Mainly inane, rarely valuable. [LAST CHANCE] COMPETITION TIME! WIN A TRAIL RUNNING HOLIDAY FOR TWO!

Send us Fan MailIn this week's episode Jody and David talk to Lisa Jackson, author, runner and member of The 100 Marathon Club - but most interestingly Lisa has made a name for herself around her ability to come last in a string of races.The discussion focuses on just how hard it is to actually come last in a race - especially when there seems to be just as much competition for the coveted last place spot - and what it's like when you're back of the pack. The chat also turns to elitism and celebrating slower runners and how to make running more inclusive.Enjoy!If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else.Join the conversation!

But what really interests the Do-Badders is that London City Runners now have their own runners bar... er.. we mean clubhouse in Bermondsey. Tim also discusses the issues that beset the club when it tried to launch its own running England Athletics affiliated running club causing its own separatist problem (just as BBR attempts to become an affiliated club!).

Send us Fan MailGrit, strength, determination and ignorance...... all qualities we admire and are essential when running your first marathon.But what if you ran your first marathon without ANY training at NIGHT and with a SIX HOUR cut-off (oh, and you'd been drinking all day...)?Sounds ridiculous, right?Well, that's exactly what Ian McNamara did and his story of losing a bet and running his first marathon on no training made it to the pages of UNILAD.Here's the story, if you didn't see it: https://www.unilad.co.uk/video/guy-completes-entire-marathon-without-training-as-punishment-for-losing-fantasy-football/We'll level with you.

Send us Fan MailBrendan is a complete do-badder. A self-confessed party animal, who was significantly overweight made a drunken bet to run a half-marathon, even though he'd never run before. He knuckled down and ran an incredible 1:24. Since then he's used his love of running to raise money to build accommodation for African orphans by running over 4,000km across African.

Send us Fan MailJody and David discuss the important issues on this Catch-up Episode. First up, Jody and David discuss the case of Sophie Power who defied the UTMB and their rules about deferment by breastfeeding her baby during the race. Incredible... and it gets a bit ranty. They then discuss how excited they are for the forthcoming episode when they're interviewing a race insurance expert. Next, they confirm the terms of Jody's 5k Ironman bet. And it gets complicated and involves an Ironman race. (Jody somehow manages to talk about the MdS, again...) David and Jody reflect on Jody's many, many past failures and likely future failures, including a Challenge Anneka reboot. We reflect on other running Facebook groups, including Parkrun laughs. David reveals his experience of running a misty half marathon on the Faroe Islands and they discuss the joy of getting lost. The episode is rounded off with a discussion about Kipchoge. Who may have won something.... Fi Silk, you're going to hate this episode. There is NO Silk Cut. Enjoy!
