Rickey Gates has done some pretty interesting runs in his time - in fact, he's something of a pioneer when it comes to inventing new challenges for himself that inevitably leads to others following.

In this episode, David and Jody speak with Rickey about his most recent challenge - running every single street in San Francisco, not an easy feat considering the hills the city is known for.

• The reason Rickey moved away from his beloved trails to take on the most urban of urban running challenges "Every Single Street"
• Why distance isn’t the only challenge when running San Fran (listen out for the elevation!)
• How he planned and plotted his route through the city
• Rickey reveals his “dark alleyway” policy when running through the city
• What really most surprised Rickey about San Francisco running
• How others are now taking on the Every Single Street challenge
• Why he started the FKT Project
• Rickey's insightful view on the reason behind the rise of FKTs

David also ponders the possibility of using one of Rickey's famous running adventures as his and Claire's honeymoon...
