--- 🏃‍♂️ EPISODE OVERVIEW ---
In Episode 133 of the Local Runners Podcast, we sit down with Dave Barratt. He has an impressive CV. He has PBs of 5k - 14.20, 10k - 29.20, Half - 65.22 Marathon - 2.19.33, 50k - 2.58.46. Winner at the Anglo‑Celtic Plate 100km / British 100km Championships in Limerick (March 2026). Finishing time of 6:31:04, placing him 5th fastest on the UK all‑time 100km rankings. Dave was welcomed back as a first person to have two solo interviews. He tells us about his win at the Anglo‑Celtic Plate 100km / British 100km Championships in Limerick and how the race went. Dave talks about the difference in Marathons to the Ultra but also how it earned him a GB Vest for September this year. From training with 170+ mile weeks, as well as early morning runs, we wanted to know about his fuelling and how he can sustain such mileage. He discusses how Salford Harriers keep winning medals and the privilege it is to wear the vest.
