This week, I'm delighted to share with you a conversation I had with a true legend of the London ultrarunning scene, David Bone.

One half of the coaching duo DaznBone, David is a force of nature. Whether he's directing events or setting 150-mile FKTs, he always has a smile on his face and seemingly all the time in the world to chat with anyone. He's simply one of the nicest guys I've ever met.

In this conversation, we chatted about the origins of Camino Ultra and their unqiue, urban take on ultrarunning, David's love of FKTs, of which he has bagged over 100, and the many hidden green spaces to be found all over the UK's capital.

Headwear. For many of us, a vital but easily overlooked aspect of our trail running experience.

As a headwear enthusiast myself who never goes for a run without a cap, I was excited to speak in this episode to Darryl Hanstein, the brains behind Ugoku Projects. With a growing range of top-notch trail headwear, Ugoku Projects is quickly making a name for itself in the UK trail running scene as a purveyor of awesome caps.

I spoke to Darryl at his home in Amersham to find out more about what goes into crafting the perfect cap. We also chatted about the 2021 Centurion 50 mile Grand Slam, the event which ultimately brought us together.

Ally Whitlock, AKA Croydon's ultrarunning ambassador, is an ultrarunner and photographer from South London. A long-standing member of the Centurion community, in 2022 Ally ran the Thames Path 100, a pancake-flat 100-miler along the River Thames from London to Oxford.

In this episode, I spoke to Ally before and after the race, to get a sense of what it takes to run that legendary distance, 100 miles!
