• Lindley Chambers | King Of The Spine Race Kit List!

  Get in touch with Ultrarunning Sam here ⬅️SPINE SEASON!We continue Spine Season with the return of Lindley Chambers, the king of all things kit list related. Lindley comes on the podcast to discuss everyone's favourite subject...the kit list for the Winter Spine Race. In this episode we discuss the recent changes to the list, controversial items being added/removed and the reasons for it. We discuss the changes to navigation equipment, mapping and checkpoints. We also talk about some of the issues that keep coming up for first time Spiners and what the race and the course expect from them!

But, as he freely admits, he wouldn't have it any other way. Lindley firmly believes that if you're asking kit questions, then you're thinking about the race seriously, and there's nothing he wants more for this year's competitors!If you're doing any of this year's races then this is a must listen!HT@ultrarunning_sam @hometrails_ http://www.youtube.com/@ultrarunningsam

  Get in touch with Ultrarunning Sam here ⬅️Welcome to the Home Trails coverage of the 2026 Winter Spine Race!We begin our lead up to this years race with a preview from a familiar face, John Kelly! John returns for the 4th time to Britain's most brutal race! He returns to better his race from last year when he was suffering with an attack of the sleep monsters on the first night of the race. John talks about this issue and his approach for this years race, which includes a home made 'altitude office' that simulates up to 14,000ft of altitude! Among other things obviously....As well as talking all things Spine, we also talk about his attempt on the Appalachian Trail FKT earlier in the year. Coincidentally, the SFM film about this was also released this week. So go check that out on YouTube!John talks candidly bout how the film is difficult to watch, but he also proudly looks back at the funds that he raised for local towns affected by the hurricane that swept through the area, causing so much devastation.John as always seems laser focused and I can't wait to see what he does at this years race!  HT@ultrarunning_sam @hometrails_ http://www.youtube.com/@ultrarunningsam
