Ep 14. We committed to a 90K race on air. Plus an accidental ultramarathoner, and Comrades marathon history

from Two Average Runners · host Alice Penn and Huw Edwards

This week, Huw rocks up to his Harvard Business School reunion, and barely anyone recognises him. Alice dives into the history of Comrades, and why it's called the greatest human race - by the end of it, we commit to running it together in 2027! Huw's sister, Nia, set out to walk a marathon in the Brecon Beacons for Alzheimer's UK in memory of their dad, and Strava makes her an ultramarathoner. And following our chat last week about weight loss and performance, a listener sent in a video of a cyclist who did the same race heavier, with more muscle - interesting results.
