The first episode in a series of ‘Special’ shows following Kevin’s training year leading up to the 2021 edition of the Dragon’s Back Race in September. The race is a multi-Ultra stage six day journey from north to south down through Wales, taking in all the highest peaks and mountain ranges. Kev covers his backstory, his Ultra running journey so far and his attraction to the event. He also updates you on his ridiculous approach to long back to back Ultra weekends.
