On this episode of the Outside & Active Podcast, we talk Ultrarunner Scott Jurek on his first trip back to the UK in 4/5 years.

An idol of many, especially in the trail and ultra running community, we find out how Scott got into running, what motivates him and what’s next for him.

It was really interesting to find out more about even at the elite level, for Scott as well as how running has become more inclusive for every ability. Growing up hunting and fishing, we also find out more about Scott’s motivation and to vegetarianism and then on to being vegan and how this has impacted his running.

If you’re looking to take part in your first ultra-distance run (or even if you have a few under your belt already), Scott shares his top tips for ultra-distance running and training.
