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 injury
• Getting serious about running and putting himself in the right environment with running clubs
• Using challenges to test your limits and see what happens when you get there
• Using ultrarunning as a way of testing your limits and how you react when you get there
• Going all in with training and diet and looking at how the small improvements add up
• The importance of getting the right people around you to motivate, inspire and support
• Balancing a young family and training
• How he uses tech to manage himself during very long efforts (I love the geekery involved in this)

The excellent video of Josh running the Ultra Scotland 100 is on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C8t6XZ3se3w/
