Dave B and Dave D are waiting for your messages!It has been hot, hot, hot, but the beers are still nice and cold for the latest episode of Daftaboutcraft, the craft beer podcast! We enjoy speaking to all our guests, but every so often we have a chat to breweries where the enjoyment in what they do really shines through, and this was the case with Neighbourhood Brew Co. Based near Stockport, Jake and Corinne are very proud of their beers, and with good reason. Dave B was suitably impressed to place an order after talking, which isn't a common occurrence! They are a brewery to look out for, and have ambitions to get their beers into as many hands as possible. Hype or Tripe returns with beers perfect for the heatwave, a pair of Imperial Stouts! Welbeck Abbey Brewery have dipped their toe into the water with two big boozy numbers, and we find out if they're up to the mark. Brew To Me has another European flavour as Dave B heads to Chamonix courtesy of Big Mountain Brewing Co, while Dave D is closer to home with Mains Brewing in Glasgow. All this and more on Daftaboutcraft, the craft beer podcast!We're delighted to be backed by Craft Brew Festival, curators of a unique beer festival tour across Britain, and Mosaic Board Print, manufacturers of epic beermats.

Due animali da pianura (cioè noi) in trasferta a Chamonix, tra panorami mozzafiato, sportivi ultracompetitivi e una comunità che vive la montagna con rispetto e passione. In questo episodio speciale di Fuorisoglia ti portiamo nel cuore della Marathon du Mont Blanc, uno degli eventi trail più autentici e coinvolgenti d'Europa.Abbiamo incontrato quattro voci che raccontano il trail da prospettive diverse:Martina Bilora e Mattia Bertoncini, due giovani atleti alle prese con nuove sfide e con l'ansia come compagna di viaggio.Davide Magnini, vincitore della 42 km, che ci parla di infortuni, consapevolezza e di quanto la montagna possa essere maestra severa ma giusta.Kevin Fitzpatrick, VP Running di New Balance, che ci spiega perché trail running e community sono due facce della stessa medaglia.Un episodio registrato tra chalet, sentieri e (tante) scarpe ai piedi, dove si parla di sport, natura, rispetto e visioni future. Ma anche di ansia, discese tecniche, scarpe da trail e salite interiori.Spoiler: non servono vertigini per ascoltarlo.Fuorisoglia è il podcast di Runlovers dedicato a chi corre, cammina, esplora e si fa domande.

William Boffelli è skyrunner, sci alpinista, ingegnere e recente autore del Fastest Known Time sul Monte Bianco da Chamonix. E' anche uno dei primi avversari che ho incontrato sui sentieri.Il 4 agosto 2013, poco più che ventenni, ci presentammo sulla linea di partenza della skyrace Roncobello Laghi Gemelli, senza sapere che proprio quello sarebbe stato, in qualche modo, un inizio per entrambi. L'inizio di qualcosa di importante.Ovviamente vinse Boffe, ed io finii un paio di minuti dietro di lui, ma lì nacquero un'amicizia e due carriere che dal punto di vista tecnico non avrebbero potuto svilupparsi in maniera più diversa, ma che a voler ben guardare, hanno diversi punti di contatto e un traguardo comune, quello di aver fatto diventare la nostra passione per la montagna e per la corsa parte del nostro lavoro.In questo episodio parliamo di skyrunning e trail, di stile, di FKT o fastest known times, di Monte Bianco, di fatica e molto altro. Risorse:FKT Mont Blanc - Fastest Known TimeStrava trackVideoPlease rate and review the podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcast ⭐️Sharing on social media is very much appreciated

Rencontres au sommet, à l'occasion du Chamonix Film Festival, autour de la montagne, un terrain de jeux et d'enjeux pour les grimpeurs et passionnés du monde entier. Connue pour être la capitale mondiale de l'alpinisme, la ville de Chamonix a accueilli pour la cinquième année le Chamonix Film Festival, qui s'est tenu à la mi-juin au pied du Mont-Blanc, plus haut sommet d'Europe et point culminant des Alpes, réunissant passionné.e.s de montagne et d'aventure : réalisateurs-réalisatrices, alpinistes et grimpeurs-grimpeuses de tous bords.   En 2019, l'alpinisme a été classé au patrimoine culturel immatériel de l'humanité par l'Unesco ; car la montagne est une culture à part entière, un monde d'altitude, de neige et de roche où la manière de se mouvoir, d'appréhender son environnement, de vivre, écrire les éléments sont singuliers, à part. Les figures historiques, les pionniers passés par Chamonix, y ont laissé des traces et transmis des valeurs propres à la montagne. Terrain de jeu des alpinistes, la montagne est aussi un terrain d'enjeux sociétaux, économiques ou environnementaux, à commencer par le réchauffement climatique. En haute montagne, parmi des glaciers qui reculent et des roches qui s'effondrent, la hausse des températures est encore plus significative qu'en contrebas et elle se vit au quotidien. De plus en plus de récits, de films et de grimpeurs s'emparent d'ailleurs de cette question, conscients que la montagne est fragile et en première ligne.  Autre enjeu : l'accès aux sommets. En effet, depuis que l'alpinisme ou les sports d'hiver se sont développés dans les Alpes ou ailleurs, force est de constater que la montagne est devenue un espace de privilèges, masculin souvent, de blanchité aussi, un domaine d'altitude réservé à ceux qui ont les moyens de l'arpenter, de s'y projeter. Mais des passionné.e.s cherchent à la partager, perpétuant ainsi cet idéal, né à l'après-guerre en France, d'une montagne pour tous et toutes.  Car les gens de montagne le savent, pour y avoir grandi ou s'y être trouvé : la montagne fait du bien ; elle est un environnement précieux, un refuge naturel qui soigne le corps et l'âme, loin du fracas du monde.  Avec : La grimpeuse et ex-championne d'escalade Liv Sansoz, qui a notamment achevé, en 2018, son rêve de gravir les 82 sommets des Alpes de plus de 4 000 mètres. Récemment, elle s'est envolée du deuxième plus haut sommet du monde, le K2, en parapente biplace L'alpiniste prodige Benjamin Védrines, âgé de 32 ans, qui affiche un palmarès insolent de premières en montagne, comme à l'été 2024 avec le record d'ascension du K2 sans oxygène ou, plus récemment, la première ascension en solo et en hiver de la voie BASE des Drus Le réalisateur français et fondateur du Chamonix Film Festival Christophe Raylat.

Craig Murray, aka Weezy Davis, is arguably the best skier in the world. Fresh off a win at Travis Rice's Natural Selection, an event where Craig went head-to-head with the best big mountain skierrs in the world and showcased a different vision, speed and style than almost anyone else in the comp…But what's different about Craig is how humble he is. While skiing is something that he does and he's one of the best, he can easily get lost in the crowd off the hill because he has zero ego or need to be known.  He's one of those guys that's the best at what he's doing now, and at some point, he'll be the best at something else. He's smart, calculated, and who knows where life will take this guy.

In this episode I talk to Iain Innes about his season racing skimo in the ISMF World Cup series, before going on to chat about longer team races and our season finale in the iconic Trofeo Mezzalama race in the Monte Rosa region of the Pennine Alps.Iain raced for Team GB as a downhill skier for over ten years, before switching to more mountaineering-centred activities. This season he has lived out of his van in the alps, training full time as a skimo athlete. Whether racing the furiously-paced skimo sprint, putting in big elevation days to Chamonix summits or cross training on foot or by paraglider, he has had a long and busy season. Trofeo Mezzalama is an Italian high altitude ski mountaineering team race in which pairs traverse from Breuil-Cervinia to Gressoney-la-Trinite, crossing the Monte Rosa massif and reaching altitudes of over 4200m. Named after Italian military ski mountaineer Ottorino Mezzalama, the race was started in 1933 and is one of the oldest and best known skimo races in the world.Due to the altitude and terrain involved, it is difficult to get perfect conditions on race day. Thus we were delighted to be met with exactly that: even atop the 4225m Castor there was no wind, perfect visibility and sun, with good snow and well established tracks. The race involves around 3200m of ascent over 40km and pairs must be roped together for the glacial section of the race.We talk through the preparation for this race, as well as race day itself, where an excited 320 teams set off at 5.30am on foot through the dark but crowd -lined streets of Cervinia.Iain is supported by Black Diamond, Augment and Tillicoultry Quarries.See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smp6_jYcbAY for a video of MezzalamaIf you want to buy me a cuppa to help support the podcast, thank you and please do at: https://ko-fi.com/finlaywild

Story Transcript:Fr: Dans le charmant village de Chamonix, niché au cœur des Alpes françaises, les montagnes majestueuses commençaient à se dégarnir de leur manteau blanc, laissant apparaître un tapis vert parsemé de fleurs printanières.En: In the charming village of Chamonix, nestled in the heart of the French Alps, the majestic mountains were starting to shed their white cloak, revealing a green carpet sprinkled with spring flowers.Fr: Les touristes, enjoués par l'air frais de la montagne, flânaient dans les rues pavées.En: The tourists, delighted by the fresh mountain air, strolled through the cobblestone streets.Fr: Émile, avec un air de conquérant, se tenait devant une paire de skis plutôt élégants mais manifestement neufs.En: Émile, with a conqueror's air, stood before a pair of rather elegant but evidently new skis.Fr: "Aujourd'hui, Pierre, je vais t'apprendre à skier," annonça-t-il, convaincu qu'avec un peu de logique et de détermination, rien n'était impossible.En: "Today, Pierre, I'm going to teach you how to ski," he announced, convinced that with a bit of logic and determination, nothing was impossible.Fr: Pierre, dont l'enthousiasme débordait, regardait Émile avec admiration, ignorant lui aussi ce qui les attendait.En: Pierre, brimming with enthusiasm, looked up to Émile with admiration, also unaware of what lay ahead.Fr: Colette, les mains dans les poches, les suivait d'un pas mesuré.En: Colette, hands in pockets, followed them with measured steps.Fr: Elle secouait la tête, songeant aux aventures précédentes où son rôle de médiatrice était bien souvent sollicité.En: She shook her head, thinking of previous adventures where her role as a mediator was often called upon.Fr: "Êtes-vous sûr que c'est une bonne idée ?"En: "Are you sure this is a good idea?"Fr: demande-t-elle, sceptique.En: she asked skeptically.Fr: "Bien sûr, Colette !En: "Of course, Colette!Fr: Regarde, ce n'est pas compliqué," répondit Émile, tandis qu'ils se dirigeaient vers la pente des débutants.En: Look, it's not complicated," replied Émile, as they headed towards the beginners' slope.Fr: Les trois amis se préparèrent.En: The three friends got ready.Fr: Émile, d'un geste théâtral, mit ses skis et aida Pierre à faire de même.En: Émile, with a theatrical gesture, put on his skis and helped Pierre do the same.Fr: Colette, prudente, s'assura que les fixations étaient bien attachées.En: Colette, cautious, ensured that the bindings were securely fastened.Fr: Puis, la descente commença.En: Then, the descent began.Fr: Au début, tout semblait aller pour le mieux.En: At first, everything seemed to be going well.Fr: Mais rapidement, Émile peina à garder l'équilibre et percuta un panneau indiquant "Attention, débutants".En: But quickly, Émile struggled to keep his balance and collided with a sign indicating "Caution, beginners."Fr: Pierre, par réflexe, s'accrocha à Émile pour se stabiliser, ce qui eut l'effet inverse.En: Pierre, reflexively, clung to Émile to stabilize himself, which had the opposite effect.Fr: Ils tombèrent en une quinzaine de secondes, dans un enchevêtrement de skis et bâtons.En: They fell within fifteen seconds, in a tangle of skis and poles.Fr: Colette, qui avait prédit le désastre depuis le début, les rejoignit en glissant soigneusement.En: Colette, who had predicted the disaster from the start, joined them by sliding carefully.Fr: Elle ne put s'empêcher de rire.En: She couldn't help but laugh.Fr: Des touristes, ayant tout suivi de la scène, applaudirent cette comédie involontaire.En: Some tourists, having witnessed the entire scene, applauded this unintentional comedy.Fr: Enfin, au pied de la pente, Émile, le visage enjoué malgré les contretemps, déclara : "Eh bien, je pense qu'un vrai cours n'est pas une mauvaise idée !"En: Finally, at the foot of the slope, Émile, his face cheerful despite the setbacks, declared: "Well, I think a real lesson is not a bad idea!"Fr: Pierre riait aux éclats, ravi de cette mésaventure qu'il n'oublierait jamais.En: Pierre laughed heartily, delighted with this misadventure he would never forget.Fr: Colette, amusée, proposa : "La prochaine fois, on engage un moniteur, d'accord ?"En: Colette, amused, suggested: "Next time, we hire an instructor, okay?"Fr: Le trio se leva, s'épousseta la neige et, avec un grand sourire, se dirigea vers le café du village pour un chocolat chaud bien mérité.En: The trio got up, brushed off the snow, and with a big smile, headed to the village café for a well-deserved hot chocolate.Fr: Ils avaient peut-être échoué à skier, mais ils avaient remporté quelque chose de bien plus précieux : une journée remplie de complicité et de fou rire.En: They may have failed at skiing, but they had gained something far more valuable: a day filled with camaraderie and laughter.Fr: Au crépuscule, alors que Chamonix s'illuminait doucement sous les premiers reflets de la lune, Émile se promettait en lui-même d'être plus humble à l'avenir.En: At dusk, as Chamonix slowly lit up under the moon's first reflections, Émile promised himself to be more humble in the future.Fr: Pierre avait hâte de raconter cette aventure cocasse, et Colette était contente de faire partie de cette spirale amicale et joyeuse.En: Pierre couldn't wait to recount this funny adventure, and Colette was happy to be part of this friendly and joyful spiral.

Welcome to mid-spring here at The High Route Podcast. Here in the Pacific Northwest, ski crampon season. It is also the season to unearth an interview with Fay Manners, a British alpinist and ski mountaineer, recorded late last summer. Manners caught my attention for one reason: she practices the aforementioned mountain disciplines at a high level. To optimize mountain conditions in winter and the shoulder seasons, it helps to be skilled at rock, ice, and mixed climbing, and when the snow is stable and conditions prime, slapping skis or a snowboard on the feet makes sense, too. Over the years, British alpinist/ski-alpinist Fay Manners has built up a reputation as a go-getter. Which is to say that Manners comes with the full mountain-skills package.In 2024, Manners and Tom Lafaille opened up the Stratonspherique ski line on the Aiguille d'Argentière. On the alpinism side, Manners has the first female ascent of the Phantom Direct route on the south face of the Grand Jorasses. She also climbed the North Face of the Eiger, the American Direct on the Dru, and the Walker Spur on the Grandes Jorasses.Far from exuding the vibe of an adrenaline junkie, Manners imparts an ethos of building skills, becoming fit, and knowing when one is at their limits, and using those skills to—and again, we'll emphasize multi-disciplinarian skills—to move efficiently and safely in the hills.Manners has had her share of close calls. Having recorded this interview last summer, we had kept an eye on Manners and her adventures. When this headline came across a newsfeed, there was a sinking feeling: Two climbers go missing. These stories often don't end well. Manners and her partner, American alpinist Michelle Dvorak, were rescued three days later. The pair lost much of their gear, including their shelter, when rockfall severed a haul line. For those of us following thousands of miles away, the rescue came as a huge relief. On flat ground, Manners is trained and has worked as a data analyst; on less flat ground, she's come into her own as a mountain athlete. But for those just being introduced to the mountains, Manners is a reminder that mountain pedigree is what you make of it. In her twenties, Manners began tapping into snow and climbing while working as a data analyst in New York City. From Vermont's Jay Peak to New York's Gunks, she's lived a full-value life in Alaska, Pakistan, and near her adopted home in Chamonix. Thanks for listening, and have a good day, The High Route Team.   If you are new to The High Route, we are a reader and listener-supported enterprise focusing on human-powered turn making.

Iain is joined by adventurer Elise Wortley. In the last 7 years, Elise has taken on some hugely challenging projects to highlight some of the original – and largely forgotten - female mountaineers and explorers.  What makes her ‘Woman With Altitude' project unique is that she has climbed and trekked in places such as the Himalayas, the Alps and the Cairngorms using the same equipment and clothing that was available to her female predecessors at the time. We discuss what it's like trying to summit Mt Blanc in hobnail boots, how you source a wooden-framed backpack and the challenges of hiking in woollen knickerbockers.  Elise also featured in the Channel 4 programme ‘Alone' where she spend over a month in the Canadian wilderness completely alone.  Discount Code for Intersport Ski Hire If you are heading to the snow then don't forget that you can save money when you book your ski hire at intersportrent.com and use the code ‘SKIPODCAST'  You'll get a guaranteed discount for ski hire in France, Austria and Switzerland and to make it even simpler you don't even need to use the code, just take this link and your basket will automatically be reduced.  SHOW NOTES Listen to Iain's previous interviews with: ·       BBC Ski Sunday presenter Chemmy Alcott ·       GB Snowsport CEO, Vicky Gosling  ·       Former Erna Low MD Joanna Yellowlees-Bound ·       Team GB freestyle skier, Zoe Atkin Inghams are celebrating their 90th anniversary this winter (2:45) Take a look at Elise's website ‘Woman With Altitude' (3:30) Elise was inspired by Alexandra David-Neel's book ‘My Journey to Lhasa' (4:00) Nan Sheperd wrote ‘The Living Mountain' after hiking in the Cairngorms (11:30) Find out more about Iain's ski touring trip to Ben Lawers in Scotland (15:15) Find out more about Elise's Scottish adventure (15:30) Jane Inglis-Clarke founded the Ladies' Scottish Climbing Club in 1908 (17:00) Henriette d'Angeville was the first woman to climb Mont Blanc solo (17:30) Look out for Henriette on the mural in the centre of Chamonix (18:15) Elise's hobnail boots were supplied by shoe specialists Trickers (20:15) Dorothy Pilley wrote the book ‘Climbing Days' and was the co-founder of the Pinnacle Club (24:00) Elise travelled from Bastia to Monte Cinto in Corsica in February 2025 (24:30) Watch the Channel 4 series ‘Alone' (26:15) [Spoiler] Elise came second after spending 34 days in the Canadian wilderness (32:00) Elise will be returning to Chamonix in June 2025 to try and complete her recreation of Henriette d'Angeville's historic climb (33:00) Hotelplan are funding Elise's 2025 attempt on Mont Blanc (34:15) Only 2% of mountain guides are women (35:30) FEEDBACK (37:00) I enjoy all feedback about the show, I'm always interested to hear what you think, so if you enjoyed this episode, please do let me know on social @theskipodcast or by email theskipodcast@gmail.com  We've had a couple of items of feedback since the last podcast:  Emma Budget: “Fantastic podcast!

Before we roll into this episode full steam, here's some basic information: this interview was recorded in the fall of 2023. That was when a group from the US, including Jimmy Chin and Jim Morrison, planned to approach Mount Everest's north side to attempt to ski the Hornbein Couloir. The project was part of a larger documentary project. This past fall, in 2024, that team made another attempt but was reportedly stymied by poor conditions. All this is to say that back in 2023, skiing the Hornbein popped up in the news cycle. Around then, I reached out to Jeremy Evans for an interview. He's the author of an excellent book I read titled See You Tomorrow: The Disappearance of Snowboarder Marco Siffredi on Everest. This episode of The High Route podcast is that interview with Jeremy Evans, the Tahoe-based author of this good read. We mostly discuss the book and the protagonist, Macro Siffredi. Siffredi was a Chamonix-based snowboarder who arrived on the extreme descent scene with extraordinary flare in the late 1990s. In 2002, Siffredi disappeared as he descended the Hornbein Couloir on Everest's North Side. He was 23 years old at the time. Although the podcast is not a book review if you enjoy climbing and ski/ride adventures and examinations of human nature and what motivates us in the mountains if you pick up the book, you'll find it doesn't disappoint. Further, Thanks to Evans for his incredible patience as we sat on this episode—we got caught up in life and building out The High Route, but we are deeply appreciative of his time and for making the efforts to illuminate more about Siffredi's life.Thanks for listening, and have a good day, The High Route Team.   If you are new to The High Route, we are a reader and listener-supported enterprise focusing on human-powered turn making.

Without Jonathan and the London-based international Match Bar Group he built, spanning 40+ venues at one time or another, cocktails in the UK would look very different today. Jonathan, a cheerful Mancunian former lawyer, invested heavily in bartending expertise when building his group: his first head bartender for Match bar was the legendary, late Dick Bradsell, he hired Dale de Groff to be a training consultant and partnered with the much-missed Sasha Petraske to open only the second-ever Milk & Honey, in London. Match Bars opened in Ibiza, Chamonix and as far afield as Melbourne, shaping the careers of literally hundreds of bartenders including Kevin Armstrong, Tim Phillips and Sam Jeveons.His second act was pop-up street festivals, and last time we had lunch he was referring to himself as semi-retired - but now he's getting back in the game, opening two big new places in London soon. I love chatting with Jonathan, and this one - uncharacteristically short, as he had to go to his Pilates class at 730pm on a Friday(!) - was pure gold, as ever. Apply for a job with Jonathan: jd@londonunion.comJonathan on X/Twitter: https://x.com/DowneyJD?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorJonathan on IG: https://www.instagram.com/downeyjd/?hl=en Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries: consulting@liquidsolutions.org (PR friends: we're only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things than their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is, for a few hours.

Ali, at 50 years young, is a dedicated mother, wife, and part-time Civil Servant from South Wales. With a lifelong passion for sport and adventure, Ali transitioned from competitive athletics to human-powered challenges after knee injuries redirected her path. To mark her milestone 50th birthday, Ali embarked on a deeply personal adventure: hiking across the island of Malta, the place where she took her very first steps as a toddler. While not her longest or most physically demanding challenge, this journey proved to be one of her most meaningful. In this episode, Ali reflects on her evolving identity as an adventurer, the struggles of balancing motherhood, work, and the pull for personal time in nature. Her story is one of resilience, purpose, and finding space for adventure amidst life's many demands. ***  Don't miss out on the latest episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast, released every Tuesday at 7am UK time!

Today… we're going skiing! And we're doing it in style in France, Switzerland, Italy, and other European destinations. I wanted to pull together this episode not only because skiing in Europe is an amazing cultural experience, but also because it's looking pretty darn good from a value perspective right now. The Euro and Dollar are currently on par and lift tickets and lessons are massively cheaper in Europe than in the US.  Our guests today are the brother and sister team, Rick Reichsfeld and Richelle Blanken. The duo grew up skiing competitively, both raced in college, and then Richelle even raced in the Olympics. When Richelle left the national team - brother and sister teamed up to find a way to make a living from helping others experience the joy of skiing and the duo are our partners in planning amazing ski trips around the world for Bell & Bly Travel clients.   We discuss everything from Michelin starred mountain food, to unique lifts across Europe, to the most luxurious resorts, spas, and even non-skiing winter activities.  Sit back with a cup of hot chocolate or a glass of champagne, and enjoy this episode of Luxury Travel Insider.   Learn more at www.luxtravelinsider.com   Connect with me on Social: Instagram LinkedIn

In this episode, we've got Barry Wicks as our host for part two in our series on developing a free-rider ski for resort uphilling. (Talk about niche). To close the quest out, he speaks with Jonno Jacobs the founder of Ronin skis based in Chamonix, France. At Ronin, Jacobs builds made-to-order custom planks. As you'll hear in the podcast, what Jacobs offers is more like a surfboard shaper, inspired as much by the art of design as the number-crunching part. Jacobs also lives in one of the hubs of the skimo scene, and although he prefers bigger and wider skis (most days), we picked his brain, asking why. As in,why don't we see more playful skis for those skinning uphilling on-piste? Allez! Allez! The High Route is a reader and listener-supported project, and we'll be releasing our first print edition of The High Route later this winter.

Gary Bigham is the most eccentric filmmaker this side of Greg Stump.  You haven't heard about him because when he turned 18, he moved to Europe and became part of the fabric of European Freestyle culture, then he started making films with Europe and the world's best. When the risk of filmmaking became worth more than the reward, Gary did what he does best, entertain. And, between his Vitamin Ski Chalet and playing music in the bars of Chamonix, Gary will always be the center of attention somewhere and the world is better for it. On the podcast, we talk about the draft, being part of 5 different national freestyle teams, Team Clambin, and so much more.

Send us a textIn this episode we talk with pro trail runner and SubHub Podcast co-host, Dani Moreno about:How a running break between college and her pro career helped reignite her passion for runningHer nutrition strategies, and how they've changed as she's evolved as a runner, including through an eating disorder in her youthHer love and gratitude for sportDani Moreno is a pro trail runner residing in the Eastern Sierra mountain town of Mammoth Lakes, CA. She moved to the mountains at the end of 2020 from the coastal town of Santa Barbara, where she lived for a decade. While at UC Santa Barbara, she competed for the women's Cross Country and Track and Field programs, producing times that made her competitive on the conference and national level. After college, she took a break from running to rediscover herself, leaning into outdoor guiding and things like climbing, spearfishing, motorcycle riding and other activities that pushed her to her physiological limits. She found nothing gave her quite the same satisfaction as running and began dabbling in trail running, which reignited her passion. Soon she was exploring the Los Padres National Forest's front range on her off days. Trail running immediately appealed to all aspects of her personality in a way that no other type of running had before. As she began to race trails, new opportunities arose and doors opened. She began traveling all over the world, feeling gratitude the whole way. That feeling hasn't quit since 2016. Since her debut to the sport, she has exploded on the sub-ultra and ultra scene, with an incredible number of podium and top 10 finishes, including being the top American at UTMB's World Championship OCC race in Chamonix in August 2024, a top 5 finish at the 2024 Broken Arrow Skyrace 26k, 1st at Canyons Endurance Race, 1st at Kodiak Ultra Marathon 50k in 2023, 2nd at Mammoth Trailfest 26k in 2023, and many others.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.Connect w/ Dani: @dan_yell_aSub Hub Podcast (Listen to Kyla's episode here)Mentioned:Adidas TerrexNeverSecondBobo's BarsKodiak OaMORE NR New customers save 10% off all products on our website with the code NEWPOD10 If you would like to work with our practitioners, click here: https://nutritional-revolution.com/work-with-us/ Save 20% on all supplements at our trusted online source: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/kchannell Join Nutritional Revolution's The Feed Club to get $20 off right away with an additional $20 Feed credit drop every 90 days.: https://thefeed.com/teams/nutritional-revolution Interested in blood testing?

Revero Clinic for treating chronic diseases: https://revero.com Join Revero Now to transform your health: https://revero.com/membership Jenny, a 64-year-old woman from rural NSW, has transformed her health and athletic performance through a carnivore diet. Living with her husband Mick, she has a diverse professional background as a bench chemist, outdoor leader, and chef. Throughout her youth and early adulthood, Jenny struggled with weight management, emotional eating, and various health issues. She developed a back problem at 25, battled ovarian cancer at 27, and underwent a hysterectomy at 45. She was also diagnosed with HNPP, a rare genetic condition affecting her nerve sheaths, and developed an alpha-gal meat allergy from a tick bite. In 2021, at age 61, Jenny began her journey with a keto diet before transitioning to carnivore in June 2022. This dietary change led to an 18kg weight loss, stabilizing at 58kg. She has since gained about 3kg of muscle while maintaining her lean physique. The carnivore diet has helped Jenny overcome numerous health issues, including her meat allergy. She now thrives on two meals a day, eating various meats but avoiding dairy. Her HNPP symptoms have significantly improved, and she maintains steady energy levels throughout the day. Jenny has become an accomplished ultramarathon runner, recently completing a 93km race in Thailand in 21 hours and 47 minutes, securing second place in her age group. This achievement earned her a priority entry into the 2025 series final in Chamonix, France. While she maintains a strict carnivore diet during training, she adapts her nutrition slightly during long races. Despite social challenges around her dietary choices, Jenny remains committed to her carnivore lifestyle, finding it has dramatically improved her quality of life and athletic performance. She continues to be monitored by a low-carb specialist and maintains excellent blood work results. https://www.facebook.com/groups/556693360056310 Timestamps: 00:00 Trailer and introduction. 03:31 Facing health challenges: back pain, tumor, fatigue. 08:07 Doctors investigated nerve issues, excited about findings. 12:21 Returned to eating red meat, passed test. 15:25 Stiffness during race led to dietary insights. 17:56 Switched to Carnivore diet due to issues. 23:20 How do you reconcile chef skills with carnivore? 25:33 Different dietary needs; abstain from triggers entirely. 27:43 Calmer, stronger, focused with carnivore diet. 32:48 I avoid sharing unconventional health habits. 33:28 Perceptions shift: diet choices impact weight loss. 39:16 Using carbs and MCT for race energy. 40:42 Earn running stones to enter race ballot. 44:46 Rural town perception limits healthcare advocacy. 47:37 Older individuals thrive on ketogenic carnivore diet.

Steve was in an accident back in 2019 in the Chamonix range in France. He was climbing with a friend, who also works on the Chamonix Rescue Helicopter Team. They got stuck in bad weather on the way down a route and ended up having to do an emergency bivi (without bivi gear) in a rapidly dug ice cave high up on the glacier. They learned a lot from this incident. Tune in this episode to hear more. This podcast is produced by Ashley Saupe. This podcast is sponsored by Rocky Talkie and LIVSN.
