ADVENTURES YOU NEED
The Man versus Horse Marathon is an annual race over 22 miles (35 km), where runners compete against riders on horseback. The race — which is a shorter distance than an official marathon road race — takes place in the Welsh town of Llanwrtyd Wells every June. The event started in 1980, when local landlord Gordon Green overheard a discussion between two men in his pub, the Neuadd Arms. One man suggested that over a significant distance across the country, surely a man was equal to any horse? Green decided that the challenge should be tested in full public view, and organised the first event.

WHAT WE'RE LISTENING TO
"There must have been something that appealed to me and I’m trying to work out exactly what it is… the various piano melodies are just lush, beautiful, divine, perfect (makes me want to go and play/practice/try them on the piano); the lyrics (more spoken words) are fascinating, captivating [they’re words by Ravi Zacharias apparently I found out later]; the beat when it kicks is slow but persistent and it makes me want to move, which can only be good thing, the combination of all the elements just seems to work, hope you enjoy it as much as me!" -Isabel Eeles
