We're back for some more fun and running chatter! We kick off series 3 in style with a chat to the first and only person to run a marathon in every country of the world yes it's Nick Butter (@nickbutterrun on Instagram) Nick comes on to chat about his amazing challenges such as running 196 marathons in 196 countries over 674 days alone, as well as his Italian challenge involving 100 marathons in 100 days. Nick's not stopping there though, on April 17th Nick will be starting his Run Britain challenge where he'll be running 200 marathons in 100 days around the coast of Great Britain!
Nick has an incredible reason behind all his challenges so be sure to check him out and help out where you can such as joining the FreeYourFootprint Strava Club to pledge your miles, the aim is to collectively run 1,000,000 miles and when they do their partner Ecofiltro will be donating filters to provide 25,000 people with clean drinking water.
The lads also have an actual running chat about the Barkley Marathons and the recent Great Britain Olympic Trials where hopefuls are bidding to get a place on the plane Tokyo on the team.

There is then a surprise phone call from none other than..... Statman Jon! The little devil gives us a ring to give us an update on his travels whilst he searches for Harold and finds himself.
Rob has a big challenge coming up in 2021 with the Berlin Marathon where he'll be raising money for Prostate Cancer UK. There will be lots of fundraising activities leading up to his marathon training and we want you to be a part of it. You can also donate on his Just Giving page.
