Podcasts about ice ultra

We're back in Arctic Sweden for the 2nd episode in a row, but this time we're exploring the Ice Ultra, a 5-day race across the ice and snow of Swedish Lapland. There are no skis or sledges here, but snowshoes and backpacks. Competitors carry everything but their sleeping bags and camp clothes on their backs throughout, so your ability to select and manage the right kit is a big factor in whether you end up a finisher or a shivery DNF. In this episode, Will speaks to the 2 winners of the race, and another runner who maximised their time on the course a little more, and digs into the choices they made that carried them across the snow. Those runners are 1st male and overall winner Alex O'Shea, a record breaking Irish athlete more commonly known as the Running Fireman, 1st female Tarryn Gordon-Bennett of South Africa,  and Sia Kindberg who ranks among the most infectiously positive people to chat on this podcast. Whether you're planning a cold adventure of your own and are looking for detailed advice, or you're curious about what running 230km in the Arctic might feel like, this is the episode for you.

In this episode Didier talks to Kyle about running 230km through the Arctic Circle. He did this to raise funds for the Quiver Foundation in support of recovering addicts. We discussed the power of not giving up, his journey from living out of a bag to completing the Ice Ultra, the reality of training vs instagram "training", why doing hard things is important, running to help inspire and uplift others. This was a good one! If you want to donate to the Quiver Foundation you can do so here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/Quiver-Foundation

Efter ett längre podduppehåll under lågsäsongen är vi nu tillbaka igen! Janne Svärdhagen är med och fångar upp trådar och tankar från den senaste månadens ultrahändelser. Malin Barrulf blev femma i Transgrancanaria Advanced, i sin första tävling utanför Norden. Sofie Nelson Rask är ett annat namn att lägga på minnet, när hon har fått mersmak på ultra efter en lysande 6-timmarsdebut i Karlstad. Andra ämnen som tas upp är Stian Angermund som visat positivt dopingprov, europarekord på 48-timmars och 50 km och så har kvalkriterierna till EM i trail- och bergslöpning och VM på 100 km offentliggjorts. Tävlingar som nämns är Lucia Backyard, Karlstad 6-timmars, Höga Kusten Winter Trail, Ice Ultra, Hoppledet 12h Backyard och Skåne Frozen Trail, liksom internationella tävlingar som Hammer Trail Bornholm, Espoo 24-timmars och Transgrancanaria. Och givetvis isstolpssittningen under Wilhelmina Winter Weekend, där Janne Svärdhagen själv var en av fyra ultralöpare som satt stilla i 51 timmar.

While most of the country is enjoying the height of summer, one man is preparing to race across the frozen Arctic. The five-day, 250-kilometre Ice Ultra marathon is expected to be gruelling- but this isn't Freddie Bennett's first test of capability. The marketing and mindset consultancy leader, podcast host and author has had plenty of experience in running in marathons on the side. He says he's on a mission to prove what everyday Kiwis can achieve and accomplish. "I'm not a pro athlete, I'm not one of these ex-Special Forces guys you read about, I'm not this privileged adventurer- I'm just an everyday guy who not so long ago couldn't even run a kilometre."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this special 'extra' episode Will chats with Jenny Hall who has just returned from completing Desert Ultra 2023, her first ever ultra-distance event. Jenny is the Marketing Manager at BTU/Spine Race and she signed up to the Desert Ultra less than a year ago having never taken part in an event like it. In that short time, Jenny turned herself into a succesfrul ultra-runner and grabbed a finisher's medal under incredibly tough conditions in Namibia this November. This interview represents a unique opportunity in that Will went through almost the same journey a few years ago, going from a standing start to finishing the Ice Ultra in less than 12 months. In this episode the pair discuss Jenny's experiences in Namibia and also mine into what you can expect if you sign up for a massive challenge of your own. In this thorough and frank conversation, the pair cover the challenges involved from fitting in training, researching kit, understanding nutrition, completing the race itself, and also managing the emotional come-down that hits some people afterwards. If this episode helps a single runner to find the confidence to work towards their own epic adventure, or to overcome their own imposter syndrome then Will and Jenny will both be happy...  

In this episode I'm joined by Jon Shield, an Ultra Runner living on the Shropshire/North Wales border. Relatively new to the sport, Jon has won some of the most extreme races on the Ultra Running calendar and wish list with the most notable being Beyond The Ultimate's Highland Ultra, Ice Ultra and Jungle Ultra. There are many other races in his trophy cabinet and in this podcast we talk about the career changing injury that steered him towards the sport and his realisation of a hidden talent. We talk mindset, resilience, competition, bouncebackability and how where we have come from can help us to get where we are going.

Ariana sits down with longtime CHP coach and Omnia Owner/Operator Jonny Pain, to discuss his goals this year and step 1 of his 4 part worldwide ultramarathon series. Listen to Jonny chat about the mental process of arriving at this ambitious goal after years of injury and no formal racing, the benefits of handing over the numbers to a coach (Alex Viada), and the wild ride that was the Ice Ultra. Hosted by Beyond the Ultimate, the Ice Ultra is 230km of unsupported racing through the Swedish Laplands. Conditions of whiteouts, -40 degrees Celsius, and the mindgames that can steal your sleep before the race even starts.  Listen in and follow Jonny at  Instagram: @jonathanpain @omniaperformance @completehumanperformance   Want to work with Jonny, or book a consult with him?

Kristina Madsen of Denmark was a highly decorated ultra-runner and a holder of multiple FKTs already when in February she became the first woman to be the overall winner of a BTU Global Race Series event. Kristina won the Ice Ultra, BTU's 230km, 5-day race across the ice and snow of Swedish Lapland, where temperatures regularly drop as low as -40°c. In this episode, we chat with Kristina about her historic win and about what it takes to be successful when running in the Arctic. If that wasn't enough, we also catch up with Karl Alvarez, who came 2nd in the same race and is currently part way through an attempt to complete all of BTU's races within a year. You'll also find a Race Director's Round-Up of the Ice Ultra from Kris King, and a brand new regular feature we're loosely calling the Adam Kimble Radness Update where fellow BTU RD and professional ultra-runner Adam Kimble, brings you an enthusiastic update from the world of endurance achievement!

Der er mange mennesker, der har utroligt svært ved at slippe de sociale medier i mange minutter ad gangen. En af dem besøger os i studiet i dag, hvor vi zoomer ind på problemet og hvad man kan gøre ved det. Og så får vi besøg af en bemærkelsesværdig kvinde, der netop har løbet fra alt og alle i Laplands sne og kulde. Ultraløb er hårdt for kroppen, men 230 km. I heftige kuldegrader er direkte brutalt. Vinderen af Ice Ultra er løbet til vores studie i Vejle og sidder klar. Værter: Tore Leifer og Jesper Dein.

Does the Great Canadian Death Race sound like a fun experience? What about running 250 kilometers through a piping-hot desert? Endurance sport is definitely not for the faint-hearted, and Charles Miron has a stronger heart (and mind) than most. From a young age, Charles was inspired by the endurance athletes he saw on television, and after smashing his first marathon with hardly any training, he realized he likely had an innate ability to push himself beyond the barriers that most people cannot overcome. His secret? It's all mental. In this episode, Charles talks about some of the most memorable moments from the ultra-marathons and triathlons he has done over the years, and the valuable lessons he has learned through these experiences. No matter what you think your pain threshold is, you'll finish this episode feeling motivated to take on a whole new level of challenge!Key Points From This Episode:Where Charles's passion for endurance sports began.Charles's first marathon experience. What Charles learned about himself during his first multiday endurance event. The number of 100-mile races that Charles did between 2006 and 2016.Examples of the goals that Charles sets for himself prior to each race he does.How Charles's body shape compares to that of a typical endurance athlete. Charles shares some stories from the time he won The Fire and Ice Ultra in Iceland.Why the cost of doing the Marathon de Sables is so high.Some of the biggest challenges that Marathon de Sables runners face. Why Charles decided to trade in ultra running for triathlons. What a typical triathlon training week looks like for Charles. Why your mental state is everything in endurance sport. Links Mentioned:Solo Sport SystemsNathaniel ErnstNathaniel Ernst on LinkedInNATEFITNATEFIT on FacebookNATEFIT on Instagram

He was also with me every step of the way for our 230km run through the Arctic Circle in February of this year.      This is much more of a ‘fly on the wall conversation' type of episode than a structured interview.

Get ready for a super-exciting and motivational episode with legends of ultraendurance racing, Mark Macy, known to many as Mace, and his son Travis. Mace is an adventure athlete extraordinaire, including competing in every one of the Eco-Challenges during its original iteration from 1995 to 2002. I would take up an entire podcast if I were to read off all of Travis' racing honors. He set the record for the Leadman, which comprises the Leadville Marathon, 10K, 50-mile bike, 50-mile run, 100-mile bike, and 100-mile run. Podiumed the Adventure Running World Championships spread out over 5 to 8 days including running, mountain biking, skiing, winter mountaineering, orienteering, ocean sailing, canyoneering, and spelunking. The Wulong Mountain Quest and Ordos Adventure Challenge: 5-day stage races in China through ancient villages, rice paddies, limestone canyons, caves, cities, deserts, and mountains. Two podium finishes at Primal Quest, America's top adventure race. He completed the 24 Hours of Moab and 24 Hours of Leadville, non-stop mountain bike races on difficult terrain. The Rock and Ice Ultra, a week-long, self-supported winter journey through the Canadian Arctic on foot and on snowshoe. If that's not exhausting enough, Travis is involved in so many areas it's mind-boggling. He penned a book called, “The Ultra Mindset: An Endurance Champion's 8 Core Principles for Success in Business, Sports, and Life,” and produces a monthly newsletter to supplement the lessons he teaches in it. He runs Macy Endurance Coaching to help athletes achieve their goals, works with Team U, an intercollegiate fundraising endurance team dedicated to improving global health and alleviating poverty.  He hosts the Travis Macy Show podcast, which I highly recommend you find and listen to.  And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that he's also gotten into Colorado's official outdoor sport of pack burro racing. We are far from done here. Travis is now helping Mace battle early-onset Alzheimer's. As you might guess, that doesn't mean either one of them is slowing down. When first diagnosed, Mace wrote into a spiral notebook, “My name is Mark Macy, I am 56 years old and today I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. My doctor told me to get my affairs in order and not spend time worrying about this diagnosis. He urged me to take vacations instead, maybe go on a cruise with my wife Pammy. I told him the diagnosis was bull.” Macy subsequently wrote: “Then my wife reminded me that I am 65 not 56, so maybe the diagnosis isn't completely bull.”  Later he added, “I finished day one of my Alzheimer's diagnosis with a significant decision: I didn't cause this disease. I'm not embarrassed to be one of many who has it. Instead of hiding from it, I'm going to share my story with anyone who wants to listen. My family and I are dedicated to fighting this horrible disease that kills people all over the world.” Not surprisingly, Mace and Travis competed on the same team in the re-boot of the Eco-Challenge in the compelling World's Toughest Race Fiji broadcast on Prime Video hosted by Bear Grylls. Why stop there? The Macys have a new book chronicling this journey titled, “A Mile at a Time: A father and son's inspiring Alzheimer's journey of love, adventure, and hope." They are also just super-nice and engaging people. But when you hear Mace say that he's going to beat Alzheimer's, it's not a stretch at all to believe him.Next book, "A Mile at a Time: A father and son's inspiring Alzheimer's journey of love, adventure, and hope” is now available for pre-order on AmazonMark MacyInstagram @mmacy146Travis Macytravismacy.comtravis.macy@gmail.comFacebook Travis MacyInstagram and Twitter @travismacyLinkedIn linkedin.com/in/travis-macy-92607633Bill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram @stahlor

V arktických podmienkach absolvovala Ice Ultra, 230 km dlhý pretek za polárnym kruhom. Odbehla Colorado Trail v nadmorskej výške 3 500 metrov nad morom a denne beháva aj o 4 ráno. Moderátorka, herečka a ultrabežkyňa Lenka Vacvalová je hostkou najnovšej epizódy ZmUPované. Aké má dojmy z preteku v Laponsku? „Bolo to veľmi mrazivé, pretože v najchladnejší moment toho preteku bolo aj -35 stupňov,“ hovorí Lenka a dodáva, že spoznala tradičných obyvateľov Laponska, dozvedela sa o ich živote, ale aj o tom, ako chovajú soby. „Je to etapový pretek na 230 km. Je za severným polárnym kruhom. Človek si nesie všetko jedlo na chrbte, jediné, čo mu organizátori dajú, je teplá voda každých 10 kilometrov.“ Pretek sa bežal 5 dní a podľa Lenkiných slov hneď v prvý deň musel jedného pretekára odnášať vrtuľník. Aké pocity má človek po dobehnutí takéhoto behu, aké ďalšie extrémne zážitky má a prečo viac obľubuje zimné krajiny a v lete sa ide radšej lyžovať? To všetko a oveľa viac sa dozvieš v najnovšom rozhovore so Simou Ondruškovou. Tento rozhovor ti prináša Hotel Sliezsky Dom - miesto, ktoré v tebe zanechá emóciu.

Coach John Belton talks about his experience in the Ice Ultra. During the conversation we discuss the Arctic Environment and the hazards hidden by its beauty. We talk more about what can happen during a race like this rather than just this race. Cold weather injuries and strategies for survival also get a mention. What is the Ice ultra? It's a 230km race split into 5 stages taking in Arctic tundra and frozen lakes all set against a back drop of white topped mountains. The days are short and the course is long; runners should expect long periods running in darkness, following a marked route by head torch, under skies free of light pollution and filled with stars and sightings of aurora. As a self-sufficient race you are responsible for carrying your entire kit, including food, safety equipment and a minimum of 1.5 litres of water which can be re-filled at checkpoints along the stages.  You'll need some specialist gear to take on the conditions the Arctic Circle can throw at you. Accommodation each night is provided by way of remote huts and teepee tents with open fires for warmth. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/johnoregan777/message

Damian Hall, runner, coach, journalist, and author, comes on to talk about his new book, In It For The Long Run (out now from Vertebrate Publishing), looking at the rise of his ultra running career and recording breaking run along the Pennine Way in 2020. He credits an midlife crisis for getting him into ultra running. He has since gone on to finish 5th at UTMB, and podium at some of the toughest races such as the Montane Spine Race, Dragons Back, Highland Fling Race as well as winning The Ice Ultra, Lakeland Trails 55km, Ultra Tour de Monta Rosa. He also has a number of record and FKTs to his name, such as the Pennine Way, South West Traverse, Cape Wrath Trail, Paddy Buckley Round, South West Costal Path. He represented GB at the World Trail Championships. He is also well known environmentalist, even picking up litter and being plastic free on his Pennine Way Record.

We promised you a third installment of our series on training for endurance events/ultra-running with our very own Kris King, and here it is! Why should runners worry about strength training? Is strength work actually good for runners? Are there any exercises every runner should do? What role can strength training play in the prevention of injuries? All these questions and more are answered as Will and Kris are reunited for another episode of Everything Endurance. Alongside Kris King's role as Race Director for Beyond the Ultimate, he is also an experienced fitness coach with a track record of helping athletes to prepare for epic feats, including training Will from being an overweight kebab enthusiast with a morbid fear of running into an ultra-runner capable of a top-10 finish at the Ice Ultra, in under a year.

The one with the blood, fire, ice and an apology

In this episode we talk to the winner of the Ice Ultra, Beyond the Ultimate's 5-day multistage run across Arctic Sweden, a runner who faced down 5 days of running in temperatures as low as -35c with a grin on his face throughout. A runner who not long ago decided to take a leap of faith and work towards making a career out of the thing he loves most. When Dicksy took on the Jungle Ultra (the same format but much hotter, much wetter, and with infinitely more mosquitos) there was a lightbulb moment somewhere out among the trees where he decided to change his life. If you're planning a cold race or adventure, we have some tips for you.  If you're looking for inspiration to take your own passion and make it a livelihood then Simon's story and his massive enthusiasm is just what you need.

Today’s episode is with a very special guest. Simon Halpin is the man who ran Marathon Des Sable alongside me in 2018. He was also with me every step of the way for our 230km run through the Arctic Circle in February of this year.   This is much more of a ‘fly on the wall conversation’ type of episode than a structured interview. On top of talking through Simon’s Ironman triathlon experience, we go back and forth about our experiences in the Sahara and the Arctic. We go through all the highs and lows and our main take away from each adventure. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Carolin is a 51-year-old ultra-runner and multi-day stage race specialist, however, this wasn’t always the case. When Caroline was 36 years old, she was a stay at home mum to three daughters. Wanting to feel better in herself, and wanting to get fitter and lose some weight, she started on a  journey which would ultimately lead to her becoming an ultra-runner….accidentally!!  She didn’t tell anyone what she was doing, and it was tough going at the start, she started with walking, then gentle jogging and gradually build it up over time to running further and further distance, until she was training for her first marathon! She persevered with it, even through injury and kept on challenging herself more and more. Since then Carolin has gone on to participate in some of the toughest multi-day ultras on the planet, from running the Ice Ultra in the Arctic Circle to the Jungle marathon in Peru. Show notes Living in Calgary in Canada Having 2 siblings and doing lots of sports growing up  An ordinary person who just fell into ultra running and extreme distance sports Why she decided to take up running As a stay home mum, how she started running with 3 children Not telling anyone she was running Deciding to do a marathon as her first race Dealing with injury and getting the bug for running Starting to notice the benefits almost from the start Not having any proper equipment  Celebrating the mini victories along the way  Never having good body image How her confidence built over time as she got stronger Not telling her friends Running her first marathon at 39 and why it didn’t quite go to plan Doing her first triathlon!  How she trained for her first triathlon  Why it’s all about the challenge Where she gets her determination from? Getting burnt out from triathlon  Doing her first ultra race in California (50K) and coming in last and why it didn’t matter The support she has received from the trail running community  What she thinks about while running What training is like Training for the Ice Ultra organised by Beyond the Ultimate and why she wanted to do it Her race training strategy Why gear was so important and why her biggest challenge was keeping her water from freezing How she protected her face with buffs The high and low points from the race The Peru Jungle Ultra - what it is and why she loves it  Why she has run it 4x Being terrified the first time she did the race The mental preparation she does before a race What she’s feeling on the start line and her race strategy for the Jungle Ultra Why she has to break the long stage down into smaller sections How she prepared for the heat!

At the beginning of 2016 you could accurately have described Will as an overweight punk rock guitarist, a real ale enthusiast, and a kebab aficionado.  Very occasionally you could have thrown in 'reluctant jogger'.   Over the following year he dropped 16kgs (2.5 stone) and ran his first half marathon, marathon and ultras.  By March 1st 2017 he'd finished the Ice Ultra as first Briton, coming sixth overall in a foot race through 230km of arctic tundra. I'm writing about myself here and it's a bit creepy.  So maybe just listen to the podcast to hear about my training journey, Kris' approach to coaching me and all the highs and lows of what came to be known as Project Baldlygo! In this mid-season special we break from the norm.  Rather than Will and Kris bringing a guest in for the podcast to talk about their adventures, this week Kris interviews Will about his.

Beyond the Ultimate's resident media guy and Everything Endurance co-host, Will (aka @baldlygo), recently completed the Ice Ultra in Swedish Lapland. After making his way through 230km of Europe's last remaining wilderness we thought it might be a good idea to have him tell you about what he learnt on the other side of the arctic circle. So here is a special one off podcast of Will's Top Ten Tips for surviving on the Ice. Here he discusses arctic admin, Ice Ultra cuisine wilderness fashion essentials and much more. Head to the Beyond the Ultimate YouTube channel to watch the videos and take a look at some of the kit he's describing!

Den 7 marts er det præcis et år siden, at I kunne høre Trailcast for første gang. Første episode blev lavet med næsten ingen forberedelse.  Men I, kære lyttere, har taget programmet til jer - I har hørt så mange episoder, at det svarer til over 875 døgns Trailcast - I træk. I denne episode fortæller Camilla Gry Elmann, som vi sendte af sted til Ice Ultra i forrige episode 20, om sine oplevelser på 230 kilometer spor i det allernordligste Sverige. Camilla kom med tre sejre og et dårligt knæ i baglommen. Og hun opdagede hurtigt, at dette løb skulle give hende noget, hun ikke var vant til.

Karina Palmquist på eventyr i Mols Bjerge sammen med sin veninde, Lone Bech.  Det var lige ved ikke at blive til noget, da Karina stod med et skadet knæ. Alligevel stillede de til start.  Her får du resten af fortællingen fra Vinter Ultra Mols Bjerge 2014 20:00 Jeg snakker med Camilla Gry Elmann, som er på vej til Lappland for at se, om hun kan hive sin fjerde sejr hjem i Beyond The Ultimate-seriens arktiske afdeling, etapeløbet Ice Ultra.  Ud over en grejsnak, så fortæller Camilla også om, hvad der vil motivere hende under de ekstreme arktiske forhold. Og hør med, der er helt sikker noget for dig også. Du får også tre gode råd af Camilla, hvis du skal ud at løbe i kulden. Hør dem sidst i programmet
