On this episode we chat to Paul Manson AKA The Random Runner! We discuss his epic adventures, the logistics of documenting them for YouTube and the more pressing questions for Paul fans out there, why did he shave off his magnificent beard?! #runtillyouredone #therandomrunner #gorewear #running #runningpodcast #epicadventurer #youtube #ultrarunner

Today we’re joined by Giacomo Squintani — a man who’s truly carved out his own path in the world of running. He’s the author of Finding My Way, a book that captures not just miles but meaning, charting his journey of discovery through running. Giacomo is also one of the dedicated Run Directors at Severn Bridge parkrun, where every Saturday he helps bring together a community of runners crossing between nations.And if that wasn’t enough, Giacomo has tested himself against some of the toughest challenges out there — with multiple attempts at legendary Cockbain Events, the kind of races that strip running back to its rawest form.

Meet Michelle Young — a seriously impressive ultra runner who’ll never tell you just how much she’s achieved.

She’s finished the **Scotland 100**, run the **West Highland Way Race 3 times**, and even **won the Speyside Way Ultra**. She regularly podiums in her age category… but you’d never know it from her.

Michelle is one of those rare runners who *lets her running do the talking*. No ego, no show — just consistency, grit, and a deep love for the mountains.

Such a great chat — grounded, inspiring, and full of quiet strength.
