    Joining Rick and Ben this week is Sam Tomlinson, a runner who has completed some of the biggest races in the world, yet he's also DNF'd and DNS'd them all too. In the podcast this week, we talk about "failure" in running and why it's so important, misunderstood and treated with shame rather than as part of the natural process of improving.
