The boys cover water jackets and Damo’s recent speed-work disaster before catching up with Blue Mountains local and Aussie running legend Brendan Davies.  Find out how Brendan loves to mix race distances and tackle all kinds of terrain, here’s a man that can’t answer the trail verse road question - he loves both! … once again our favourite question involves a bucket and we give you the inside scoop on how Brendan struggled through some of his most prolific international ultra race packed years.

Most of you will know Tom Landon-Smith as the Race Director of UltraTrail Australia but did you know he was a World class cross country skier and adventure racer? In Ep72 of Running Matters we discover the man behind the biggest monument of Australian trail running. We discuss the evolution of AROC sport, from a niche adventure racing company to being absorbed by global juggernaut Ironman and the expansion of UltraTrail from 150 runners to 7000 in a little over a decade. We chat about some of the incredible performances from athletes like Killian Jornet, Dylan Bowman, Brendan Davies, Lucy Bartholomew and Ryan Sandes but also why UltraTrail is such a welcoming and inclusive event for runners of all abilities. Tom covers the connection to the Blue Mountains and it’s people and why keeping his event environmentally sustainable is of such importance. Tom details the never-ending challenges (fire, flood, pandemic, avalanche, etc) of trying to produce an event in 2020 and explains the final insurmountable hurdles for this year’s race. As usual, we dig deep on the big issues like being swamped by muddy hugs on the finish line, carrying house bricks on the mandatory gear list and being dominated by his wife in the Perisher Pub Crawl for 7 years straight!If you enjoyed the Podcast, please subscribe or follow Running Matters to be notified when each episode is released.Feel free to use the online discount codes below:•GU Energy Australia (15%): RUNNINGMATTERS•Fractel Performance Running Caps (15%): runningmatters•T8 Running kit (10%): RUNNINGMATTERS20•Runnulla (10%): Mention Running Matters in store.•Precision Hydration (15% off the entire first order of electrolytes): RUNNINGMATTERS15

As an elite athlete Brendan Davies has travelled the world, competing with some of the best runners on the globe. It wasn’t until his late twenties that Brendan started competitive running. With a post-graduate qualification in Special Education and a career as a teacher, it took time, significant commitment and strong race results before the opportunities as an elite athlete opened for him. The sport of ultra-marathon requires a year-round commitment that features global meets, mixed with domestic competition and it was a permanent move to the Blue Mountains that further sparked a love for the outdoors and a love for trail running. A sense of exploration has always driven Brendan and led him through an eventful career as an ultra-marathon runner. “That’s what hooked me into the sport (my love of the adventure of it) and always maintaining that strong curiosity and not taking it too seriously. At the end of the day, if you take it too seriously, you’ll fall out of love with it,” Brendan said. “Once you fall out of love with it, that’s when things start to go wrong, and you wouldn’t end up become a life-long runner. I’ve always wanted to be someone that runs forever”. A balanced perspective on life and on competition has benefited Brendan both on and off the trail. He has had a storied career, highlighted by many accolades (such as 4 X Australian Male Ultra Runner of the Year), yet it is the opportunity to travel the world and explore nature’s beauty that resonates strongly with him. “I’m a very intrepid minded person, so I love traveling. I feel so blessed to have gone to some of the places I’ve been – there’s no way I would’ve got there otherwise,” Brendan said. “That’s one of the best things about running, it’s a truly global sport – you can go anywhere with it.” Whilst still competing in races around the world, it has been the shift to coaching that has become a focus for Brendan and he takes pride in the ability to share his learnings and experiences with runners of all levels.

Brendan is an elite Australian ultra-runner and Ryley and Tim have a wide ranging chat about coaching, racing, mindset and more. His website says - "Brendan is an exceptional runner. Somewhere along the way, I have become somewhat ho-hum about this." Pretty much!  For more info check out his website brendandavies.com.au Runnertruckerpodcast@gmail.com
