In this episode, Jon and Amie dig into the details of Jon’s recent VO₂ max and lactate testing at Oxford Brookes University — what it involved, what data he'll get from it, and how it’ll shape his training in 2026.

We also do a low-key kit roundup after some Christmas additions, covering what’s working well and what hasn’t lived up to expectations — including shorts, soft flasks, watches and poles.

Jon also talks through his recent entry into Centurion’s 100 Hills and how it fits into the bigger training picture as preparation ramps up for his South Downs Way 100 miler in June.

In this episode, we sit down with Hayley Langley to talk through her journey into ultra running and one of her standout performances at this year's Centurion Autumn 100.

Hayley reflects on returning to the 100-mile distance for the second time and dropping her time from 26 hours to an incredible 19 hours 44 in the process, earning a 3rd place finish in the women’s field. We unpack what changed between the two races, how her training has evolved, the process of overcoming injuries and how the race unfolded.

We explore some of her biggest lessons - including the importance of strength training, dialling in fuelling in training, and racing efficiently.

This episode is a lovely reminder to be grateful for what our bodies can do, to back ourselves when we’re feeling good, and trust our bodies when it’s time to push.
