The Best Bits: Trail Running Fails, Spine Race Stories & Fell Running Heroes | RUNcensored EP40

We’ve hit pause on new recordings this week with both Gary and Ben out of the country – so here’s something special: the very best bits from three of our most talked-about trail running episodes.

First up, Danny Andrews (aka the Fish and a Rice Cake guy) shares his hilarious trail race fail in the Lake District – full kit, full send… and nearly collapsing on the first climb. He also explains why his mum never misses a chance to tell people he’s got six GCSEs.

Next, we revisit Mel Sykes’ unforgettable account of the legendary Spine Race, including what it’s really like to push through 268 miles across the Pennine Way – and why she ended up sleeping on a toilet floor mid-race.

Finally, Tom Addison takes us back to his youth, growing up in the heart of fell running culture, idolising the sport’s big names, and discovering what it means to be part of the UK mountain running scene.

If you’re into trail running, ultramarathons, fell racing or just love hearing raw, unfiltered stories from the sport, this mash-up episode brings the laughs, the grit and the inspiration.

🎧 Featuring highlights from Episodes 22, 23 and 30.

It’s the biggest week in trail running — UTMB in Chamonix. Gary, Ben, Chris and guest Rich Gill share the highs and lows of UTMB 2025: from the wild crowds at Notre-Dame de la Gorge to 24-hour filming missions in the Alps. A behind-the-scenes look at the world’s most iconic ultramarathon.

They call it the biggest week in trail running — and for good reason.

This week, Gary and Ben sit down in Chamonix with Chris and friend of the podcast Rich Gill (Gilly Photography) to relive the madness of UTMB 2025. Recorded in Chris’s apartment during race week, it’s an unfiltered chat about the highs, lows, and everything in between.

From the electric night-time crowds at Notre-Dame de la Gorge, to chasing runners through the Alps for sponsors, we dig into what it really feels like to be in Chamonix during UTMB. There are stories of 24-hour filming missions in a Grenadier truck with the SunGod crew, freezing mountain shoots in the middle of the night, and the rare moments where we found time for a quiet beer before the next race kicked off.

We talk about the scale of UTMB, the atmosphere around the UTMB, CCC, OCC, TDS, MCC and PTL, and the sheer energy that draws thousands of trail and ultrarunners to the foot of Mont Blanc every year. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the biggest ultramarathon in the world, told with laughs, honesty, and the kind of detail only those on the ground can share.

Whether you’re a trail runner, mountain runner, ultrarunner, or just someone who dreams of toeing the line at UTMB one day, this is the inside story of what Chamonix feels like when the world of endurance running descends on it.
