    #148 - From England to Everest: Mitch Hutchcraft’s 13,157 km Human-Powered Journey to the Top of the World

    In this episode of the RunThrough Podcast, we sit down with adventurer Mitch Hutchcraft, whose journey started with a bold promise at just six years old, to climb Mount Everest. That childhood dream eventually turned into something truly extraordinary: the longest climb in history. Mitch travelled an incredible 13,157 km under his own power, swimming, cycling, hiking and mountaineering all the way from England to the summit of Everest. The journey wasn’t easy. Along the way, Mitch battled injuries, exhaustion, and huge mental and physical challenges, but stayed driven by resilience, positivity and a strong sense of purpose. Host Ben Sheppard digs into how Mitch kept himself motivated through months of relentless effort, and what runners and endurance athletes can take from an expedition that pushed the limits of what’s possible. Mitch has since been nominated as one of just three people worldwide for the 21st Century Adventurer Awards 2026 — and he’s the only British nominee. Voting closes in one month, and if Mitch wins, £5,000 will be donated to the charity SAVSIM.

    #146 - Could You Run 2,266 KM in 66 Days? The Kilometre a Day Challenge (+Arc 100 Miler) | George Rickwood

    In this episode of the RunThrough Podcast, we are joined by George Rickwood, an ultra runner whose journey started just six years ago with training for a half marathon and has since taken him all the way to winning his first Backyard Ultra with 31 laps. George talks about how running has become a huge part of his life, why the mental side of ultra running is often tougher than the physical, and how ultra training is more about time on feet than speed. He shares some of his standout challenges, including one he's in RIGHT NOW, starting the year by running an extra kilometre every day for 66 days, racking up a massive 2,266 km, with the ARC 100 miler thrown into the mix. Hosted by Ben Sheppard, we also discuss the importance of the running community, the vulnerability of sharing the journey on social media, and why George believes most people are capable of pushing far beyond what they think is possible. Looking ahead, his focus is on continuing to improve while still enjoying the challenge that ultra running brings. Perfect listening if you are ultra-curious, into endurance mindset, or just love hearing how everyday runners end up doing big things.
