Episode 79 - Specificity in Training - Marianne Heading
On this week's show we talk to Ultra Runner, Marianne Heading, who recently won the Montane Yukon Artic Ultra in Canada; a 300-mile (482 km) race in freezing temperatures near the Arctic Circle.
We discuss the incredible experience; how she kept focused on the task in hand, and managed to finish the race despite injury.
Jermaine also gives us a Steeplechase masterclass, discussing the sorts of specific training he included in his routine.
We also discuss Spanish pick pockets, Jermaine trespassing on the tube line, and Big Half training.
