This week we’re joined by Nat Taylor to talk about her recent experience setting the new Dragon's Back Race FKT.

Nat completed the 380km route from Conwy Castle to Cardiff Castle in an incredible 75 hours and 39 minutes — taking more than 26 hours off the previous supported FKT record.

We chat through the attempt from start to finish, including the huge team effort behind the scenes, pacing through the Welsh mountains, night navigation in the Rhinogs, sleep strategy, fuelling challenges, kit failures, and the mental battle of the final miles into Cardiff.

Nat also shares lessons from years of adventure racing and ultra running, why consistency matters more than huge training volume, and how running with friends can completely change an experience like this.

A fascinating behind-the-scenes look at an extraordinary performance.
