Jason chats to ultrarunner, Debbie Martin-Consani. Debbie was the first female finisher in this years Montane Spine Race, regarded as one of the worlds toughest endurance races. The spine race involves running 268 miles along the Pennine Way, with over 11,000m of climbing. Debbie finished after 104 hours of running or in her words, "forward propulsion".
We chat about how Debbie got into running and then ultra running, what motivates her and of course what it takes to prepare and take part in the Spine race.
