Ep. 34: Running the Entire Length of the UK (LEJOG) Unsupported - James Normandy

In this episode of the Being Human podcast, I sat down with James Normandy. James Normandy has just finished running the entire length of the UK, from Land’s End to John O’Groats. I bumped into him halfway through his journey, when I was supporting my good friend Ashley Cain on his own journey running the length of the UK as part of his ULTRAMAN challenge. Running the length of the UK is a monstrous endeavour in any event. What makes James’ journey ever more impressive however, is the fact he did it unsupported: carrying his possessions, food, and water on his back throughout it all. James shared: - His previous running experience before embarking on LEJOG, and his preparation for the challenge. - The toughest points and days throughout the journey. - What inspired him to take on the challenge and persevere through it. - How his body felt after he had finished. And a whole lot more. James did this challenge to raise money for https://www.tearfund.org You can donate to the cause in the name of the challenge through James’ website: https://www.jamesnormandy.co.uk This was a really fun conversation and an inspiring story. I hope you find value in it and enjoy. Being Human is brought to you by Mr Bassett’s.
