Show Notes
This week Hugo Fry joins for the July Fry Up and finally reveals all about SECRET sub 10 ironman he did on just 6 weeks of training, finishing in 9 hours 30 minutes without really telling anyone beforehand - throwing hot soup on himself mid-race, choppy lake swims, and all. We get into why he kept it low-key instead of milking it for content, how Jess' Ironman experience highlighted how intimidating triathlon can be for women, dealing with hate watchers, navigating the "World Cup summer" content slump, and wrap up with a proper Room 101 segment covering everything from AI brand emails to portaloos before a race.

Jake Smith is one of Britain's most talented marathon runners but his journey to the top nearly cost him everything. In this episode, Jake opens up about his battle with an eating disorder, the doctor who warned him he'd be in a wheelchair by 30, and how he fought his way back to run 2:09 this September at Berlin Marathon. What a seriously inspiring bloke, a story that carries so much weight. Pleasure chatting to him!

This week I'm joined by Adam Clark (Clarky), elite marathon runner, Manchester Marathon champion, and co-founder of URUNN alongside Sir Mo Farah. We get into his running journey from the kid who loved cross country to winning marathons, his PBs across every distance, and why most people rush the process. We also chat about life with Charlotte Purdy, pacing London Marathon and never finishing it, the firemen moment with Hugo, pacing Sweets at Berlin, and how URUNN came about with Mo. I also share my own running journey, my naivest mistake at Chicago, and what I've learned chasing sub-3.
This week I'm joined by the one and only Oli aka El Burrito Monster. The food content creator who accidentally became an absolute running machine. We talk losing six stone by running 10K every day, going from a 30-minute 5K to 20min in five days, running a 2:52 London Marathon at 102 kilos, and his latest Berlin Marathon where he tried to go sub-three on basically no training (really unhinged bloke).
I'm joined by Cole Gibbens to break down his London Marathon debut, where he ran 2:16 as a first-timer! We get into the training mistakes that led to a stress responses, the reality of disordered eating and under fueling in the men's running scene, and a hands-on look at the newly released Adidas Pro 5 - how it compares to the Pro 4 and what it means for race day. Raw, honest conversation about the parts of running nobody talking about enough.
