Ahead of my Treadmill ULTRA 50K I chat with radio presenter Laura James from The Voice.


With the run being on a treadmill, in a busy shopping centre on April 1st it's easy to think it was just a fool - but as Laura and I discuss my reasons for coming up this challenge are not a joke,

Steve Adams chats with Rachel Hadley-Leonard

In 2022 whilst I was running on the South West Coast Path to Land's End Rachel was hiking the full 630 miles of this beautiful trail.

Talking with Canadian Podcaster Shawn Sobon

You never who know who may inspire. Andy's son Fintan has a life long medical condition that adversely affects his immune system.  This means he is frequently ill and has spent a significant amount of time in hospital.  


Being active and exercising has been very difficult, if not impossible for him.

Despite his challenges, Fintan has drawn inspiration from his father's running.


 Fintan and Andy started running together at Fintan's request and have not only completed a 5k but Fintan was able to run his very first 10k with his dad in October.
