Transcript from ‘Ultra Marathon LEGEND’ podcast
Tom – Veterans typically do much better than they should do on paper, just through to a shared mindset. Those who are military and they’ve got some understanding, it’s like being on exercise for five or six days. It’s miserable but the fun bits are fun and the miserable bits are miserable. It’s definitely up there as one of my favourite races and I will be going back at some point. Probably not in the too distant future. Probably not next year but after that, who knows?

Our BATTLE In The Desert
Our Battle In The Desert, features Brian Wood MC. Brian was awarded the Military Cross for gallantry in combat, for courageous leadership in Iraq. He was later summoned for unfound war crimes, which eventually led to full vindication. His story is now the subject of a BBC2 film, Danny Boy and he has been open about his struggles with PTSD. He also supports Walking With The Wounded’s mental health programme.
Transcript from ‘Our BATTLE In The Desert’ podcast
Brian – I think we’ve raised about half a million. I was running for the fallen, who paid the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Falklands as well. It just got so much momentum and I had my target of twenty thousand pounds. I thought that was really ambitious and I probably wouldn’t get there, but it’s a good target to have. Then it just went to the moon and everyone just seemed to get behind me. I went for 35 days, 35 marathons and then halfway through, I flew to the Falklands and ran four marathons there.

World Class Ultrarunner | Marathon Des Sables | #120
World Class Ultrarunner, Marathon Des Sables, features Captain Tom Evans who is one of the world’s leading competitors in ultrarunning.

World Class Ultrarunner | Marathon Des Sables | Captain Tom Evans
Tom Evans made his mark on the ultrarunning world in 2017, when he came third in the 251km desert ultra Marathon des Sables (MdS). Despite entering on the back of a bet with a friend, his third-place finish was the best result any European had ever achieved in the history of the race. Evans astounded once again in 2018, when he won the 101km CCC race at the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) – the pinnacle of an incredibly successful racing year, which also saw him take the top spot – and break course records – at the Coastal Challenge Costa Rica. At 2019’s Western States 100, a near iconic fixture on the ultrarunning calendar, Evans took third place and even broke the record for the fastest overseas time at the Californian race, clocking 14 hrs 59 minutes in his debut 100-miler. A British Army Captain, Tom Evans was little known to the ultrarunning world until 2017, but is now one of the world’s leading competitors.

Chris and Tom
C – Tom, how are you Sir?
T – I’m very well Chris, very well, how are you?
C – Yeah, I’m wonderful and I just want to thank you on joining us on such short notice Tom, I really appreciate it.
T – No, not all, I’m glad you were able to find time in your busy diary to have a chat.
C – Well, I’ve got another thank you for you, which is that you were kind enough to do a quote for my forthcoming book. For people watching it should be up there to the right of my podcast overlay, called State of Mind, which is a Royal Marines slogan. It’s the story of myself running 999 miles, pretty much non stop, sleeping in my tent by the side of the road. Tom very kindly did what we call in blurb terms a quote for the book, so thank you very much mate.

Chris and Jamie
C – Jamie, how are you brother?
J – I’m very well thank you, and thank you for having me on your podcast.
C – No listen Jamie, the thanks is all mine. My life keeps throwing up little gems for me. I’m both delighted and suprised by it all, and it brought me to you. For our friends at home Jamie is the ultimate adventure warrior, in that beautiful sense that most of us want to do, but most people will probably never make time for. I’m talking all the adventures you want. The running, the cycling, the global exploration. I’ve been hearing about all these amazing one off feats of endurance, and then there’s guys like you. You haven’t stopped hitting it have you Jamie?
J – I think the big difference between the adventuring I do and other people is I don’t pursue records of any sort or anything like that. The WOW factor of breaking a record just doesn’t interest me. I’m just a guy that does what he does because I love it and I try to make a living out of it wherever I can.
