Get in touch with Ultrarunning Sam here ⬅️
In this episode I speak with Ajay Hanspal, who at the start of this month set a new DPB round in 52hrs 51mins 35secs. Covering a staggering 131.93 miles with 58,537ft of vertical!
This was over 4 hours quicker than the original record set by Nicky Spinks.
We talk about his route into running, which is an unusual one given that he used running to help his rehab from a serious traumatic brain injury when he was just 18 years old.
We talk about growing up in the sport of trail running, his journey to breaking that record and his involvement with the ever growing community of Green Runners.
Ajay is a super nice guy and a pleasure to interview!
