The Swift Half Podcast, Episode 291

Alan and Ian are joined by Sharon Newton to talk about her recent experience at Tough Mudder London South and, most importantly, the very special memorial wave held in honour of her late partner, Leon Kardwick.

Sharon takes us behind the scenes of the event, from the changes to the Tough Mudder course to the atmosphere of the memorial wave, which brought together friends, former solo mudders and members of the OCR community to celebrate Leon's life. With inflatables, Jägerbombs and plenty of memories along the way, it was a fitting tribute to someone who clearly made a lasting impression on those around him.

The guys also discuss the fundraising effort in Leon's memory, supporting prostate cancer research through a JustGiving page which had already raised £4,334.

Away from Tough Mudder, Alan and Ian catch up on the latest happenings across the OCR and fitness world, including Spartan event updates, HYROX's new clothing rules for Elite 15 athletes, and plenty of other racing news and talking points.

A conversation about racing, friendship, community and remembering someone who left his mark on the OCR world.
