Episode 11 Rising Stars - Martin Johnson

We have been such a huge admirer of Martin Johnson for some time.

This podcast was a revelation. 

We found out that Martin owes everything to Andrew Smith (CactusRuns)!!!!

Seriously we love how Martin took on and beasted the wonderful Thames Path 184 miles and created a new Fastest Known Time. We discovered that Phil Young (Board Stupid) helped inspire and support the attempt and with Patagonia there is also a film being produced that will be available later in the year

Having podiumed at Centurion events and helped establish the "Black Trail Runners" we had plenty of fantastic new territory to cover off. It was a real privilege to get some advice on how everyone in our running community can better involve all marginalised groups and Martin has certainly inspired us to do get some more skills sessions and promotional material together to support this.

Looking forward to supporting Martin in a possible 2022 entry in our beloved Spartathlon.

INTRO: DaznBone talk about the incredible scenes witnessed at the Suffolk Backyard Ultra with John Stocker and Matt Blackburn plus our most recent recces of Bob Graham Round and Ben McGoverns successful round
