Bad Boy Running

Send us Fan MailMira Rai is a Nepalese trail runner who didn't quite know how good she was until she entered her first 50k. At that race, she was completely unprepared in terms of food, clothing and water, yet managed to win - impressing the ultra community around her.  Now, as a Salomon sponsored athlete Mira is pioneering trail running in a society that is patriarchal in nature. She travels the world participating in overseas trails and ultras and offers an inspirational vision for women and Nepalese runners in general. In this episode, David talks to Mira about her journey into running, the impact it has on her family and her village and what she hopes to achieve in the future.  Enjoy!

Send us Fan MailSometimes running around your local park for a timed, weekly 5k just doesn't cut it. You want some more adventure, some more culture, something that completely changes the way you see the world. No, we're not talking Brighton Marathon... we're talking participating in races that take place in some unusual and largely unvisited ares of the world - or areas where you would NEVER think of travelling right now. Step in James Willcox, founder of Untamed Borders, a company that specialises in just that. When David ran the Afghanistan marathon, it was Untamed Borders who supported the race with their on-ground knowledge. In this episode, David speaks to James about organising and visiting places that are off-the-map to so many, the challenges and the benefits of seeing the world from a different perspective.  Mogadishu marathon anyone?  Enjoy!

Send us Fan MailJohn Kelly makes BBR history as one of the few guests back for a third time. (Bet that makes all those other records pale into significance...) In this episode, Jody and David chat with John about breaking the decades-old record for running the length of the Pennine Way... only for Damian Hall to break it a week later. There's some great stuff in this interview as John reveals his healthy rivalry/friendship with Damian and what went into this record. John also talks about tackling the other big rounds and what it takes to succeed. Another great episode with a BBR fave. Enjoy!
