Unless you, too, have spent the past month in the glorious isolation of the Jordanian desert, you're probably aware that Spencer Matthews recently completed an epic running challenge. The former Made in Chelsea man has become the first person to run 30 marathons in 30 days in the desert. In the process, he's raised more than £600,000 for Global's Make Some Noise charities. On this episode, he talks heat chambers, eating a 1kg of rice a day and almost treading on a horned viper.

The Bob Graham Round is a fell-running bucket-list item. It challenges runners to scale 42 peaks, covering 66 miles and 27,000 feet (around an Everest) of elevation, over the course of 24 hours. It tends to be the reserve of the ultra fit, but our guest this week proves that, with the right mindset and training, anyone can do it. Jenny Bushell says: ‘I don't have any kind of athletic background, and there's nothing special about me, except for possibly outsize levels of stubbornness.' Listen to her talk about her remarkable journey on this week's episode.
Jenny now leads practical trail running workshops from her base in the Lake District. For more info, check out the links below:

On this week's episode, Georgia Bell details her remarkable journey back to elite-level running. An outstanding junior, Bell was seemingly on course to become a star athlete, but after suffering series of injuries while on a scholarship at Berkeley, California, she walked away from the sport in her early 20s – seemingly for good. But lockdown and an impressive parkrun time convinced her to refocus on running – and she's now aiming for Paris 2024.
