How to Train for an Ultramarathon (Without the Influencer Nonsense)
How do you actually train for an ultramarathon?
Not according to Instagram. Not according to the bloke who runs 100 miles every weekend. And definitely not by simply running more and more until your knees fall off.
In this episode of the Rokman Podcast, we break down how to train for an ultramarathon without all the influencer nonsense.
Paul Zlabickas and Ben Wiley recently completed the Welsh Coastal Path — 870 miles and around 30,000m of elevation — in just 18 days and 5 hours, setting a new fastest known time.
But the interesting part isn't just what happened during those 870 miles.
It's how they trained for it.

He Was 6th in the World… Then Quit Running
Former Welsh 800m runner Jimmy Watkins reached a World Championship final, ran 1:46 for 800m… and then walked away from running completely.
In this episode of the Rokman Podcast, Jimmy talks about the reality of elite athletics, why he quit at his peak, drinking before races, swapping running for life in a rock band, getting sober, rediscovering his love for running and eventually co-founding Running Punks.
We also get into what happened when he left Running Punks, how the breakup affected him personally, his Running Reviews, working with BBC 6 Music and Craig Charles, and why combining running with music helped him find his identity again.
Then we get into training.
Jimmy's approach is refreshingly simple. We talk about how to actually get faster, interval training, why running is a skill, warm-ups, and the advice he gives people who want to find out what they're genuinely capable of.
