In this episode of the podcast I speak to James Elson.
James is well known for his exploits as a long course ultrarunner who’s completed some of the toughest and most prestigious races around the globe.
He’s also the race director and head honcho at Centurion Running, who put on some of the best 50-100 mile ultramarathons in the UK.
We talk about his own running career competing at The Spine Race, Tour De Geants and Western States.
We also dive into the new World Trail Majors series that Centurions very own South Downs Way race is now part of.
James also give us his perspective on the whole UTMB saga as it rumbles on in the trail running community and his thoughts on the direction that our sport will go in.
Super nice guy and was a pleasure to interview him.
