Rule no.2 of RUNcensored Club - we definitely don’t do podcasts on Zoom. Well… this week we broke the rules. The lads have been out in Chamonix filming their own version of the Circle Pit with Satisfy, and rather than leave you hanging another week, we’ve patched together a remote episode to celebrate one thing we couldn’t ignore - Mel Sykes absolutely smashing it at UTS. Mel returns to the pod to talk through one of the biggest performances of her running career and how it earned her a place on the CCC start line in Chamonix. The weather, the conditions, the suffering, the highs, the lows and the weird emotional rollercoaster that ultra running seems to drag all of us through eventually. We also touch on missing Quid Games in Keswick, throw together a very loose “Top 3”, rather than a “Top 5”, because standards have clearly slipped, and generally chat the usual amount of nonsense along the way. Audio quality? Slightly dodgy. Running chat? Still elite. If you’ve ever doubted yourself before a big goal… this one will hit home.
