This seventh episode of the British Ultrarunning Podcast features Dan and James discussing the running career of Ken Fancett with the man himself. Ken recently finished his 5th Centurion Grand Slam at the Autumn 100 before heading out for another successful 100 mile trail finish at Rio Del Lago 100 in the US – his 69th 100 mile finish. At 68, Ken is running times that put him in the top 10% to 15% of races overall, but within his age category he is truly a world class runner. The volume of racing he achieves is in itself just as incredible, he regularly finishes 8 or more 100 mile races per year. Inspiration for runners of all ages.
