Episode 9 - Aleksandr Sorokin - Bryn Jones - KOMFuel

In anticipation of this weekends Centurion Track 100 mile event we are honoured to have the World Champion Aleksandr Sorokin on the Camino Podcast.

Aleksandr has been quarantining in the UK at the home of our friend Bryn Jones. These two legends met as Basel 24 hour champs a couple of years ago and all kinds of craziness happened. We discuss this as well as the preparation for this weekends big race.

Aleksandr has won many great ultramarathon races but to us he is in the Hall of Fame for being a winner of our beloved Spartathlon. We were lucky enough to be in that race with Aleksandr (he only pipped us by a mere 13 hours!!) We talk about that year as well as the might Yiannis Kouros - we imagine that Aleksandr is one of the few modern day ultra runners that Yiannis would respect.

Huge gratitude to Bryn for helping get this wonderful and mad episode together.

Massive kudos to Maksim (Aleksandr's brother) for being on the podcast as no.1 translator)

Enjoy x
