In this podcast, my guest is Aaron Davis from Venture. Aaron runs an adventure travel company . He is the one running behind the scenes stuff for The Great Ocean Road Trip in February 2014.

This will allow me to  focus more on the people that come with me on to the trips and the coaching aspect of it.

In this podcast episode, we are getting Wayne Goldsmith back. We will be talking about Ultra Short Race Pace Training which is something that is starting to take off these days.
