Robin and Kate have a chat with Damian Hall after the Barkley Marathons 2026; a year that caught everyone by surprise when it was held a month earlier than usual. We talk to Damian about how he’s progressed and learned over the years he’s attended the event and whether he thinks in it’s current form it’s achievable.
We also talk about Damian’s new book, Run Forever, available today to pre-order from Vertebrate Publishing and his forthcoming tour around Britain.
