The Tunnel. A 200 mile (ish) ultra-marathon through the darkness of the UKs longest pedestrian tunnel. 100 out n backs. Who's in??

In this episode we speak to Alan Risk. He said yes to The Tunnel and he's with us to tell the tale. We caught up with Alan a mere day after his race. Listen in to get his superb immediate take on taking part.

As is routine we first get to know about Alan, what brought him to be on a start line of The Tunnel? We unpack a lot as this chatty fella takes us on a whistlestop tour of his running story.

Adventuring with his other half to take in new events, in new countries and making new connections in the running community rank high on his priority list. It's his recent partaking in the Tunnel though that we zoom in on.

Buoyed by the knowledge that nobody under the age of 40 had ever successfully finished, 30 year old Alan takes us through his pre race mindset before letting us hear all about how the race panned out for him.

With unexpected twists along the way and with the reality of the prospect of finishing within the 55 hour time limit dawning Alan recounts his time in the black hole of The Tunnel. Did he get the prize of finishing? You're gonnae have to listen to find that one out.

A self confessed blether Alan's energy and vigour for running is always evident, he's achieved much already but we reckon he's only getting started! Decide for yourself by tuning into this proud Falkirk dafty.

John and Steven also take the chance to unveil the winner of our David Miller / Allie Bailley framed print as well as round up the week's happenings in our quick intro!
