The Dragons Back is a race which follows the mountains running from north to south of Wales.
Revered for its brutality and high attrition rate the race has been coined as the "Worlds Toughest Mountain Race" which chews up and spits out many accomplished ultra marathon runner.
James Bezant- a good friend and fellow PT decided to take on the race after hearing about it from his cousin and being in the area when the race was being run.
His intrigued turned to motivation which then drove him to enter the race and enter into over a year long training plan.
We talk to James about what made him decide to do the race and how he plans to train.
We also talk about his transition from someone who mainly lifted weights and did minimal running to a fully fledged "runner."
Another awesome episode with loads of great insight to what it takes to train to endure.
