Sorry about the sound for some clips - please bear with. I do have some whizzy new wireless interview microphones now but this was last year when using a very temperamental mic, so there is some very frustratingly un-dimmable background noise in some, but the tips from the interviewees are worth persevering!

The Barkley marathon got to be one of the worst for sleep deprivation.
On another point newborn baby can result in sleep deficit - mums get more experience of this phenomenon.

Jon Albon is a BEAST! You should do an interview with him, please. He just participated in Spartan Word Championship in Liwa, Abu Dhabi ( Obstacle course race) where he was 3rd. The most brutal race for the Obstacle course race. Would be great to get his insight, training tips. Also, have a look at Spartan Trail World Championship in Liwa, Abu Dhabi it was 95% of pure soft sand (one of the most brutal places to run )
