Welcome to UltraOrdinary! We are a very ordinary couple, with ordinary lives and ordinary jobs... who just happen to run Ultra Marathons!
This is a candid conversation about the reality of running as a slightly above and slightly below average pair. We'd love for you to join us as we pre-brief and de-brief our runs, plan for our races and work through the tricky bits together.
In today's episode, we compare our bucket lists! Join us for a lighthearted chat about the races we daydream about, and how that has changed throughout our running journeys.
