    Sam Skinner - Scott Cheviot Goat Champ - #178

    Sam Skinner is a trail runner who thrives where the terrain is brutal and the weather unforgiving. From the legendary Winter Spine Race, where every mile tests body and mind, to the Scott Cheviot Goat’s icy climbs, and the epic landscapes of Ultra-Trail Snowdonia, Sam has proven that endurance is more than a skill, it’s a way of life.

    Joe Turner - Wendover Woods 50 Champ #176

    From the winding trails of Wendover Woods to the sun-scorched switchbacks of Arizona’s Black Canyon 100K, Joseph Turner runs with purpose, grit, and a story in every stride. A GB athlete with a heart for the hills and a mind wired for endurance, Joseph has carved out a reputation not just for his results, but for the way he races, with humility, humor, and a relentless drive to grow. In this episode, we dive into the moments that shaped him: the breakthrough performances, the setbacks that taught him more than any podium, and the quiet rituals that fuel his fire. From his early days chasing splits through the Chilterns to representing Great Britain on the international stage, Joseph brings insight, honesty, and a few trail-tested laughs.

    Lizzie Richardson - Paddy Buckley FKT #174

    Today’s guest is a force of the British mountains, a Great British athlete and the female record holder of the legendary Paddy Buckley Round. From slate, scree, and sky to split times that make your jaw drop, she’s rewritten what toughness looks like on the toughest Welsh peaks. We’re diving into the mindset, the miles, and the moments that turned grit into a record. Lace up: this is the spirit of mountain running at its highest altitude. We had some Old County Tops chat for fans of fell running and last but not least Lizzie shares how the World Mountain Running Champs went down. Pic Credit - Evan Davies, Tanya Raab & Joel Jameson.
