This week we’re joined again by Joe Turner to talk about his build towards the South Downs Way 100, and the lessons he learned during a recent DNF at the Anglo-Celtic Plate 100k.

Joe reflects honestly on what went wrong during a brutally hot day that ended at 85k, how he’s changed his approach heading into SDW100, and why patience will be the key theme of his race strategy this time around.

We chat about training around life with a new baby, adapting to hill training while living in flat Cambridge, back-to-basics strength work for ultras, crew planning, cooling strategies, and using continuous glucose monitoring to better understand fueling and performance.

Alongside his own racing, Joe also talks about launching his new running coaching venture, supporting runners with a practical, long-term approach shaped by his own experiences in endurance sport.
