This week Graham returns to the podcast to talk through his experience at the Centurion Thames Path 100, his first attempt at the 100 mile distance.
From a fast start and early confidence, to stomach issues, snapped poles, pizza-fuelled revivals, torrential rain, cold night miles and the mental battle that comes deep into an ultra, we follow the race from start to finish.
Although the day ended in a DNF after 80 miles, this episode is an honest reflection on what it really feels like to push yourself to the limit in a first 100 miler - and the role friends, crew and support play in getting you through the hardest moments.
