Really fun to chat to Josh Barrow following his win at the Manchester to Liverpool Ultra 50, hosted by GB Ultras.

Josh has made a bit of a name for himself over the past few years, winning a number of runnable trail ultras, including the South Downs way 50, Race to the Stones, and the Chester 50. In this podcast, we discuss his journey in running so far, and what has become his signature racing style - starting out conservatively and moving up through the field to take the lead in the final miles.
