Welcome to the running podcast where three mates from Birmingham swap miles for mics and share more than just blisters! Ben Blakeman, Jake Ramsey & Mike Duffy, a trio at very different points on their running journeys, but all equally skilled at dodging training plans and telling a good story. 6 Lads vs. The Napton Hill – Who Survived the 10K? What happens when six “elite athletes” (aka blokes who should’ve stretched more) take on the infamous Napton 10K? Spoiler: there’s sweat, suffering, and maybe even a few personal bests — but mostly complaining about that hill. Ben, Jake & Mike were joined by Chris, Fahmi & Tom for the showdown that’s been in the making ever since someone said, “Yeah go on, I’ll sign up too.” Will anyone conquer the Napton incline without walking? Will there be glory, pain, or just a pub stop after? And most importantly — did anyone actually enjoy it? Tune in to find out how the lads fared in this epic (and slightly chaotic) running adventure!
