JOSH WADE | UTMB 2025

Get in touch with Ultrarunning Sam here ⬅️

In this week's episode we speak to returning guest and friend of the show, Josh Wade.

This is Josh's 3rd time on the podcast......to talk about his 3rd place at UTMB!
We've been championing Josh for some time now, so it's great to see him performing on the world's biggest stage. With his stellar performance, he is finally getting the credit and recognition that us Brits feel he deserves and is long over due!.

In this episodes we dive into his training and preparation, which included 4 weeks of isolation in the mountains of Tignes, actively ignoring the race ahead of him. He talks about his focus going into the race that left him chomping at the bit to race at the top level.

Josh talks about the crowd giving him energy to push on in dark places and how he felt on his final decent into Chamonix being chased by 4th place.
We talk about how his life is changing as he focuses on his running career, in what he's calling his 'now or never' moment.

As always, Josh is a pleasure to interview and gets more hilarious every time I speak to him!
