Steve chatted to Emma Timmis. Emma is a collector of World Records and aiming for another next week - the longest ‘distance’ on a treadmill in 48 hours.

Apart from running across Africa (twice), Emma has also roller-skated across the Netherlands, gained the World Records for the longest distance travelled on an elliptical cycle and fastest to run the length of New Zealand... and a few other things that you can read about on her website.

We talk about cruelty to animals - mainly herself. Other animals also get mentioned - dogs, cats, mosquitoes, elephants, rhinoceros. We also talk about mindset, personal challenges,  dinner, dessert and whether she likes running - spoiler alert... she does.

The big question... "how?" is touched on... to a point.

In which Steve and Andrew chat to Sam Harvey a few days after his 677km, 101 hour run to be the assist at Dead Cow Gully Australian Masters Backyard Ultra.

Topics include snoring, hot laps, team work and Sam’s big plans for the next 12 months.

You heard it all here first!

Steve and Andrew chat with Jean Beaumont - aka Jean the Machine. Jean has run Northburn Miler 5 times (winning 4 of them) as well as Big Foot 200mile, Leadville, UTMB and a short miler in Patagonia. Jean was the first woman to do the Tararua Main Range SK traverse unsupported in under 24 hours and still holds the super vet female unsupported record. She's even older than Steve and still beats him.

She tells us lots of great stories that usually involve not enough sleep and too many skeletons. If you want to know how to lose your mind and your poles check it out!
