In this episode, we’re talking about the Loch Ness Marathon — a race that’s as beautiful as it is tough. Set in the Scottish Highlands, it winds past forests, hills, and of course, the famous loch itself.

Tom and Nick cover everything you need to know before taking part in the race, from travel options and where to stay, to what you can expect on the morning of the race.

This month on the podcast, the team is talking through the first six months of the year in running shoes. What impressed us, what was average and were there any major disappointments?

We'll also be talking about loads of other stuff, from our current training plans to the latest products we've been testing.

Perfect for that Sunday long run.

It was a big year for marathons at the Run Testers. Nick and Kieran took on London Marathon for another time and Tom nipped up north to try out Manchester Marathon. In this podcast (also available as a video on YouTube) we chat through both events, from the course and crowds to the kit we wore on the day.
