Famine Way 100 – DNF Diaries

Colin and Andrew are back to spill the beans on the Famine Way 100 – a 100-mile ultramarathon that didn’t quite go to plan. In this brutally honest episode, we talk about why we DNF’d, how it all went down, and the lessons learned along the way.

We couldn’t have done it without our incredible crewman, Jeff, who went above and beyond to keep us moving. The course? 90% canal in Ireland – deceptively flat but mercilessly tough. Expect laughs, pain, reflections, and all the chaos of tackling an ultra you thought you were ready for.

🎙️ Season 3, Episode – Colin chats with Oonah: Behind the NI Running Show

In this episode, Colin sits down with Oonah Cattigan—trail runner, Glens of Antrim regular, and the organiser behind The NI Running Show, a brand-new event coming to Belfast in February 2026.

We talk:

• How Oonah’s love of running inspired her to launch Northern Ireland’s first-ever dedicated running expo

• What it takes to organise a major running event (and keep your sanity)

• Building community, attracting big-name brands, and creating something for every type of runner

• Why the Glens are magic, and how they shaped her journey

From wild trail runs to booking expo stages, Oonah is passionate, driven, and full of ideas—and this episode is a brilliant insight into what’s coming to Belfast.

Colin meets the legendary Donald—yes, the man with that beard—who they bonded with mid-race at the NI100 (probably at the world’s longest aid station stop).

🧔 Film appearances thanks to facial hair

✂️ Would Donald shave it off for a medal made from his hair?

📸 Why selfies cost him a sub-24-hour finish

🇩🇪 His next challenge: the Berlin 100

🤪 Plus, Andrew asks another ridiculous question… as always

From beards to Berlin, this one’s full of craic, chaos, and classic running nonsense.
