    Camille Herron -World records, Olympic ambitions, controversy and OnlyFans.

    World records, Olympic ambitions, controversy and OnlyFans. This week on RUNcensored, there's absolutely no shortage of talking points. Gary, Ben and Mel Sykes are back online, joined by American Ultrarunning superstar Camille Herron for a brutally honest conversation about her extraordinary career and life away from the running track. A five-time IAU World Champion, Camille has won the 50km, 100km and 24-hour World Championships, claimed the 2017 Comrades Marathon and become the first woman to break 24 hours at the legendary Spartathlon in 2023. She's also set numerous world records, competed at three US Olympic Marathon Trials and established herself as one of the most accomplished female ultra athletes of her generation. But we get into much more than running. From the 2024 Wikipedia controversy and the loss of major sponsorship deals to her recent move into OnlyFans as an adult content creator, Camille opens up about the highs, lows and unexpected twists of her career. We discuss neurodiversity, the pressures of professional sport, public perception, sponsorship and what drives one of ultrarunning's most talked-about personalities. Nothing is off limits in this one. Expect honesty, strong opinions and plenty of entertainment.

    He ended up in intensive care after an Ironman. But that didn’t stop him. We have been back through our archieve of episodes to select our favourite guests incase you missed it the first time or just want to relive it all! This week, Gary and Ben sit down with Paul Tierney – former Irish county hurler turned elite ultra-runner, coach, and record-breaker. From the sidelines of team sport to the solitude of the mountains, Paul has carved a life around endurance, coaching, and community – but not without setbacks. Paul shares how a stint in Australia kickstarted his love for endurance sport, how a brush with death changed his perspective forever, and why a documentary about the Lake District made him pack up his life and move. Now a respected running coach with clients around the world, Paul opens up about the myths of perfect form, the dangers of one-size-fits-all coaching, and why failure has been his best teacher. We talk coaching, movement quality, social media misinformation, injury recovery, and how to build a strong mind andbody through running – without obsessing over it. 🎙️ What You’ll Hear in This Episode: 🏑 From county hurling to Ironman 🏥 Surviving hyponatremia and landing in ICU 🏔️ Discovering the Lake District and the Lakeland 100 🧭 Getting lost with no map skills and a second-hand compass 🧠 Why coaching is more about communication than correction 📱 The problem with Instagram advice 🦵 Strength work, ankle stiffness and plyometrics 🩹 Injury, rehab and athlete buy-in 😂 Humour, humility and lifelong learning Why You Should Listen: If you’ve ever questioned your training, felt overwhelmed by online advice, or struggled to come back from injury – Paul’s honest, practical approach will give you a fresh perspective.

    EP89 - 290 Miles, 95 Peaks & Four Days of Hell! Rebecca Hormann

    This week the lads welcome ultra runner Rebecca Hormann to RUNcensored. A former footballer who started running more seriously during COVID, Rebecca has quickly established herself as an outstanding ultra distance performer, although she'll probably be the last person to admit it. This year she's won Portugal's 200-mile Terra de Gigantes outright, setting a new female course record, and claimed another course record at the mountainous TOR100 by Kailas FUGA in Italy. But the main focus is her incredible continuous round of the Ethels275 in the Peak District. Rebecca linked all 95 hills, tors and summits in a route covering 290 miles, finishing in 4 days, 11 hours and 44 minutes. It was a brutal undertaking, with back-to-back storms Austen and Boleo bringing relentless rain, testing underfoot conditions and some serious challenges around eating and keeping moving. Rebecca talks us through the physical and mental demands, the moments when things got difficult and the friends and support crew who helped her get it done. An honest insight into one hell of an endurance challenge, and the people who make these adventures possible.

    EP87 - Kendal Mountain Festival: 20+ Years Behind the Scenes with Steve Scott

    Gary has gone AWOL this week, despite his beloved Manchester United managing to avoid defeat against Leeds United. So, Ben is flying solo, joined by fellow Leeds fan Steve Scott, Event Director of the world-famous Kendal Mountain Festival. Steve has been at the helm for more than 20 years, so who better to talk about how the festival began, how it's grown and where it's heading next? We get into the festival's biggest highlights, the challenges of organising an event of this scale and how its audience has changed over the years, including the huge growth of trail running. From the Trail 10K and ultra races to SportsShoes' O-GAMES, the new Mackyard Ultra and the ever-expanding programme of trail running talks, films and sessions, we explore how running has become such an important part of the Kendal experience. We also discuss the value of the SportsShoes partnership, the exciting line-up and activations planned for this year's festival, and what the future might look like, including the prospect of taking Kendal Mountain Festival to the south of the country for a summer event. And, of course, there's the big question: will Ben ever deliver on his promise to get Kilian Jornet to Kendal? If you're into trail running, mountain sports, outdoor films or the people behind the events we love, this one's well worth a listen. Subscribe to RUNcensored, leave us a comment and share the episode with your running mates. Let us know your favourite Kendal Mountain Festival memories, what you'd like to see in the future and whether you reckon Ben can pull off the Kilian deal.

    Brian Beckstead, co-founder of Altra, joins Gary and Ben for a proper RUNcensored deep dive into the story behind one of running’s most distinctive brands. We start, naturally, with Premier League football and Brian’s highly suspicious decision to “randomly” choose a new team to support before getting into the story of Altra, its humble family beginnings, the challenges of starting a running brand from scratch and the ideas that changed the game, including Zero Drop and Altra’s famous roomy toe box. We also talk about Altra’s influence on the running industry, the industry’s influence on Altra, the changing world of performance racing shoes and what comes next for the brand. A proper conversation with one of the key figures behind one of running’s most recognisable brands.
