Ep 9. Running 250 miles in 56 hours with only 19 minutes of sleep! Plus, carbon shoes, chest phlegm, and best places to run in London.

from Two Average Runners · host Alice Penn and Huw Edwards

This week, we go down a few rabbit holes. We discuss the mind-blowing Cocodona 250 performance by Rachel Entrekin, a woman who beat everyone, including the men, on 19 minutes of sleep. Alice gives Huw a full running tour of London ahead of his visit this week. We answer a listener's question about post-race chest phlegm, which turns out to be more common than you'd think. And we get into carbon shoes;  how much is too much, and how many races do they actually last? Also, Huw shares how he ran his first-ever marathon unplanned, at night, fueled only by nuts and water.
