He lined up in Chamonix against the best in the world — but UTMB had other plans.


This week, Gary and Ben are joined by elite runner Andy Berry, fresh from racing the UTMB. Andy takes us inside his race — from broken poles that forced him to borrow Ben’s, to the brutal climbs and aid stations, to the moment he eventually had to step off the course. It’s a raw and honest account of what it really feels like to take on the world’s most hyped ultra and walk away with a DNF.


Alongside Andy’s story, Gary and Ben reflect on a whirlwind week working with Sportsshoes and HOKA, while Chris shares the reality of being thrown straight into a 24-hour filming mission for Sportsshoes.com and SunGod sunglasses with barely an hour’s sleep.


But make no mistake — the spotlight here is on Andy. This is the unfiltered truth of what it’s like to run, suffer, and ultimately DNF at the UTMB.


Sponsored by Garmin and the all-new Fenix 8 watch.
