Kit, training & navigation hacks & howlers from a 30 x Original Mountain Marathon (OMM) completer!

Trail & ultra running from Wild Ginger Running

This week we chat to Patreon Colin Bergstrand about how him and running partner Jon have completed no less than 30 Original Mountain Marathons (OMMs) !!!

Originally on YouTube here https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-sr8xa-135fe92

The OMM is a hugely challenging 2-day event held at the end of October where pairs must navigate through the mountains to find checkpoints, carrying all the kit they need to survive for two days of running, hiking and camping. I've done a couple in the summer and they were hard enough, so how on earth have Colin and John survived 30 in winter?!

Let's find out all their kit, training and navigation hacks and howlers, why they keep going back for more, and most importantly, if they're going for 40 next!
