The North Coast 500 is one of the most iconic cycling routes in the world. A challenging 500-mile loop around the rugged Scottish Highlands, it demands resilience, planning, determination, and an ability to keep moving when everything in your body is telling you to stop.In this episode, we sit down with newly ratified North Coast 500 Women's World Record holder, Caroline Livesey, to hear the story behind her remarkable ride.From the early planning stages and months of preparation through to the highs, lows and defining moments out on the road, Caroline shares what it really takes to ride the NC500 at world-record pace.Joining the conversation is Mark Livesey, who was part of the support crew throughout the attempt. Mark offers a unique perspective from behind the scenes, discussing the realities of managing a moving operation around the clock, making critical decisions under pressure, and helping keep the rider focused on the task at hand.Together, they explore the importance of teamwork in ultra-endurance cycling. World records are rarely individual achievements, and Caroline's ride was no exception.The episode highlights the contribution of a dedicated support team whose collective efforts helped turn an ambitious goal into a historic achievement.We also discuss the key partnerships that played a crucial role in the success of the record attempt. Precision Fuel & Hydration were instrumental in developing and refining Caroline's nutrition and hydration strategy, ensuring that energy intake matched the demands of riding at record pace for over 32 hours. Meanwhile, EZ Gains worked extensively to optimise Caroline's aerodynamic position and equipment setup, helping extract every possible advantage over such a long and demanding route.The conversation covers strengths and weaknesses, lessons learned, moments that went exactly to plan, and those that required adaptation on the fly. It's an honest look at what happens when meticulous preparation meets the unpredictable reality of ultra-endurance cycling.Whether you're an endurance athlete, a cyclist dreaming of tackling the NC500, or simply fascinated by what people are capable of achieving when they commit fully to a goal, this episode provides a fascinating insight into the pursuit of a world record on one of Britain's most spectacular roads.Dontate to charity - https://peakeducationnepal.com/

In this episode of Daily Influence, Gregg-Brooke Koleno sits down with Dr. Marie Livesey, founder of Lively Holistic Health, to explore a powerful but often overlooked truth: the way we lead is deeply connected to how well we listen to our bodies. As a physician, Dr. Livesey helps individuals and leaders understand how stress, energy, and physiology directly impact patience, decision-making, motivation, and follow-through—especially during demanding seasons of life and work. Rather than viewing burnout or irritability as personal shortcomings, she reframes them as predictable biological signals asking for attention. Together, Gregg and Marie discuss: • How low energy and chronic stress quietly affect leadership presence • Why burnout is often physiological—not a mindset failure • The power of the “pause” between transitions in your day • Practical strategies to stabilize energy, including sleep, nutrition, sunlight, and mental reset practices • Why self-care is not selfish—but foundational to responsible influence Dr. Livesey also shares a meaningful story about helping a patient move from self-blame to empowered decision-making, reminding us that compassionate leadership begins with understanding—of both others and ourselves. If you've been feeling stretched, tired, or unsure, this conversation offers grounded, science-backed encouragement. Because positive influence doesn't come from pushing harder—it comes from showing up steady, aware, and well-supported. Small resets create sustainable impact.

Join our final Guest Reader of 2025, trans voice actor Robyn McConnell, as she traces the surprising lineage between Treasure Planet and Muppets Treasure Island and the book that started it all—then slip into a soft, steady reading of Stevenson's opening chapter.Robyn shares how adaptations simplify early stakes, why some versions erase Jim Hawkins' father, and what that choice does to the mood of the Admiral Benbow. Together we map what the films kept—the songs, the myth, the promise of danger—and what the novel restores: the quiet dread of waiting, the texture of a frayed coat, the weight of a debt unpaid. It's a guided rediscovery that treats story as both study and sanctuary.From the captain's first knock to Dr Livesey's unflinching rebuke, the chapter unfolds in calm detail. Robyn's performance stays warm and restrained, giving you space to breathe while keeping the thread of the tale clear. If you've only known the story through animation and puppets, you'll hear why the original opening is a masterclass in atmosphere—rich, patient, and haunting in the gentlest way.If you enjoy thoughtful storytelling, cosy narration, and a little literary myth-busting, this one's for you. Follow for more sleep-friendly readings, share with a friend who needs a calmer night, and leave a quick review to help others find their way to rest.Sweet Dreams,Florence xFollow Robyn:https://rmcconnellva.carrd.co/Instagram: @cubixfailsSupport the showOur Links: www.sleeplesscreativespodcast.co.uk Our producer Instagram Linkedin Do you want to feature as one of our Guest Readers in your own special episode?

We're increasingly seeing this trend in the professional ranks in gravel racing, but until fairly recently, having capacity for bigger volume tyres was limited mainly to men's bikes. A few companies though have realised that women gravel riders are also looking for the perfect combination of comfort and speed. Liv launched their Devote gravel bike back in 2020 and the latest version ticks all the boxes for women riders who want to get really off the beaten track. Gravel Inspiration – Golden Ride Magazine - the gravel editionIn an era where the vast majority of cycling media is digital only, discovering a new-to-us print magazine is a real pleasure. Golden Ride magazine have already published more than 70 editions, but we only just found them! With that perfect combination of stunning imagery, thought-provoking stories and of course, the beautiful sensation of having a high quality print magazine in your hands, we can highly recommend getting hold of a copy. Raising awareness of Lyme disease and gravel ridingIt's the middle of summer and you're out gravel riding with a group of buddies. At the top of a long climb onto a beautiful ridgeline you sprawl on the grass, relaxing, pondering life and watching the sunset. But a week later you start to feel unwell and you discover a rash which looks roughly like a ‘bulls eye.' It's possible that you've been bitten by a tick bearing Borrelia, a spirochete bacteria. If you get medical help promptly then it can be treated, but left untreated (or undiagnosed) then the risk is that you could develop Lyme Disease.

An Interview with Dr. Nina Livesey After Livesey demonstrated that authenticity of the Pauline letters was inadequately and uncritically determined, she didn't think it was possible to make a good case that the letters were authentic, even though it's so commonly assumed that they are. Once she had gone through all of that, she looked for evidence of Pauline letters. The first ones appear in the mid-second century, from the school of Marcion! Livesey was not the first to make that discovery. Dr. Nina Livesey a professor emerita of religious studies at the Oklahoma University College of Professional and Continuing Studies. In addition to her specialization in Pauline letters, she's interested in a variety of aspects of Christian emergence.

Caroline Livesey is an adventurer, extreme triathlete, ultracyclist, elite gravel cyclist and triathlon and life coach.  Caroline started her journey into triathlon while serving with the Royal Engineers in the British Army. After 10 years service she left as a Major in 2013 and pursued a career as a professional triathlete (while working full time as a geotechnical design consultant), originally in Ironman events.  In 2019 circumstances conspired to throw her into her first extreme triathlon, Canadaman XTRI. Winning this event was the catalyst for her to work on her mindset and physical adaptations to take on the gruelling climate conditions which are typical for the Extreme Triathlons such as Norseman and Celtman. She has since won numerous extreme events, and has just returned from winning Patagonman in Chile for the second time.  Caroline is also an elite gravel cyclist, competing for Team GB at the last two World Championships (where she thinks she was the oldest on the start line by some 20 years). She loves single day UCI gravel races but also ultra distance, and has competed at Badlands (3rd), finished Transcordilleras (Colombia), and completed coast-to-coast across Costa Rica in less than two days. She completed the 1000km Transcordilleras, an 8-day stage race, in February this year. Caroline's husband Mark is a documentary / film maker and they make films about their adventures (YouTube, Amazon Prime - The Brick Session). Their purpose is to provide information and inspiration to others so that they might break down their own false beliefs to take on their own challenges.  Caroline and Mark have founded Peak Education Nepal - a charity bringing education to the children of poor families in Nepal who cannot afford to go to school. They became involved in this while in Nepal for an event in 2022, and plan to go back this year to develop the charity and do another mountain trail running adventure.   New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson原文Chapter 7: Jim's Story II'Your friends are in the house now,' said Ben Gunn.'I must go to them,'I said. 'Are you coming with me?'No,' said Ben. 'But you know where to find me. Come tomorrow afternoon.'I looked at the Hispaniola, out on the sea, and saw the pirates' flag.'They have the ship now,' I thought.The pirates on the beach made a big fire.They started to drink and to talk loudly.I waited for a time,then went to the house.I told Dr Livesey about my meeting with Ben Gunn up on the hill.'Tell me about this man,' said the doctor. 'Is he going to help us?''Yes, I think he is,' I said.'There are fifteen pirates now,' said the doctor. 'And there are six of us. Seven, with Ben Gunn.'I was very tired and I slept well that night.The next morning one of our men said: 'Look! Someone's coming! A man with a white flag.''Don't shoot!' said the man. 'It's me. John Silver.''What do you want?' asked Captain Smollett.'Captain Silver wants to talk to you,' said Long John.'Captain Silver now?Come on, then,' said Captain Smollett.Long John came slowly up the hill to the house.We all watched him.'Yes?' asked the captain.'One of our men is dead,' said Silver. 'You killed him in the night.'The captain said nothing.'We didn't kill that man,' I thought. 'Ben Gunn killed him. Now there are only fourteen pirates.''We want that treasure,' Silver said. 'And you've got a map, right?''Perhaps,' said the captain.'I know you've got it,' said Silver. 'Give us the map. Then you can leave the island with us, or,if you like, you can stay here.''Is that all?' asked Captain Smollett. 'Now, listen to me, Silver. You can't find the treasure and you can't sail the ship. We aren't going to help you find the treasure, so you can go now. I have nothing more to say to you.''Then we're going to fight you,' said Silver angrily, and he went away, walking slowly down the hill.It was a hot day.We waited for a longtime and then the pirates started shooting again.Suddenly some of the pirates ran out of the trees up to the house.'Get them!' said the captain.We all fought hard.We killed three of the pirates and the others ran away.But when we got back inside the house, we found that Joyce was dead.Hunter and the captain were hurt, too.'Five pirates are dead,'said the doctor.'Good,' said the captain. 'Now they have nine men and we have five.'The pirates went back to the beach.Everything was quiet.Later that day Hunter died.The doctor left the house.'He's going to meet Ben Gunn,' I thought.It was very hot inside the house and I did not like waiting.So I took some food and a gun and went to look for Ben Gunn's boat.After about an hour I found it.It was very small and light.'I can take this boat and go out to the Hispaniola at night,' I thought.I sat down and waited.Night came, and it was very dark.

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson原文Chapter 6: Dr Livesey's StoryAt half-past one in the afternoon two, small boats went from the ship to the island.We looked for Jim Hawkins on the Hispaniola, but he was not there.We waited on the ship.There were six pirates with us.Then Hunter and I took a boat and went to the island.I wanted to see the house on the island.The house was strong and it was in a good place.'We can stay here,' I thought. 'There's water, and we can bring food and guns from the ship.'Then I heard the pirates fighting in the trees.'They're killing someone,' I thought. 'Perhaps Jim Hawkins is dead.'Hunter and I went back to the Hispaniola.I told the captain about the house, and we started to put food into the small boat.The pirates on the ship did not hear us.Joyce and I carried the food from the beach to the house.Joyce stayed in the house with his gun and I went back to the ship.We put more food and our guns into the small boat and dropped all the other guns into the sea.Then Mr. Trelawney's men Redruth and Hunter, Mr. Trelawney, the captain and I left the ship.There were five of us in a small boat and we moved very slowly.Then we saw the pirates on the Hispaniola.They had the big gun on the ship.'They're going to shoot at us,' somebody said.We tried to go faster.Mr. Trelawney shot at the men on the ship.He hit one of them.Then the pirates on the island ran out of the trees.They began to run along the beach.'Quickly!' said the captain. 'They're going to catch us. Leave the boat.'We heard the big gun on the Hispaniola behind us; we jumped on to the beach and ran.Most of our food and our guns went down into the sea with the small boat.We heard the pirates running along the beach behind us, but we ran quickly through the trees to the house.We arrived at the house and turned to shoot at the pirates.We hit one of the pirates, and the other men ran away.Then one of the pirates turned and shot Redruth through the head.Captain Smollett said sadly: 'Now there are only five of us and we have food for ten days. What are we going to do?'Suddenly we heard somebody outside.'Dr Livesey,' said Jim Hawkins, 'it's me, Jim. I'm here.'So then there were six of us.

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson原文Chapter 4: Pirates on The ShipMr. Trelawney liked to give the sailors things to make them happy.There was always a big barrel of fruit for them.One night, after I finished my work on the ship, I went to get some fruit from the barrel.Everything was very quiet.I climbed inside the barrel to get the fruit.Suddenly a heavy man sat down next to the barrel.He began to speak.It was Long John Silver.I stayed very quiet.'Yes,' he said.' Flint was our captain. I sailed with him many times. We had one big fight. I lost my leg and Old Pew lost his eyes. I saw a lot of fighting and a lot of treasure,too.''Ah,' said a younger man. 'Flint was a bad man! And where are all Flint's men now?''Most of them are here,' said Silver quietly, 'on this ship. Old Pew's dead. And you, young man,do you want to help us? Do you want to be a pirate?''Yes, I do.''Good,' said Silver.'You're going to be a good pirate.'Then a second man spoke to Long John Silver.It was Israel Hands.'I don't like our captain, John,' he said. 'Let's kill Smollett and the others.''No. We must wait.We must have Captain Smollett to sail the ship,' said Silver. 'And Mr.Trelawney and the doctor have the map. Let them find the treasure first. Then we can kill them. Now get me some fruit from this barrel.'I was very afraid.But then someone said, 'Land!'Everybody ran to seethe island. I waited for a minute, then I climbed out of the barrel and ran, too.The ship was now quite near an island.'Does anybody know this island?' Captain Smollett asked.'I do,' said Silver.'There were a lot of pirates here in the old days. That hill in the center of the island is called the Spy Glass.'Then Captain Smollett showed Silver a map of the island.Silver looked at the map very carefully, but it was not Billy Bones's map.It did not show the treasure.I went to Dr Livesey. 'Can I speak to you please, doctor?' I said.'What is it, Jim?' he asked.Then I told the doctor, Mr. Trelawney and Captain Smollett about Long John Silver.'Most of the sailors are pirates,' I said. 'They want to kill us and take the treasure.''Thank you, Jim,' said Mr. Trelawney. 'And Captain Smollett, you were right. I was wrong. I'm sorry.''Silver is a very clever man,' said the doctor. 'We all liked him.''What are we going to do, captain?' asked Mr. Trelawney.

Its name is Hispaniola.I found a good man to be our cook on the ship.He's an old sailor and he has an inn here in Bristol.He is going to help me find sailors for our ship.He knows a lot of men here.His name is Long John Silver.He has only one leg.Please send Jim Hawkins to Bristol tomorrow.Trelawney.”I was very excited.The next morning I said goodbye to my mother and started for Bristol.Mr. Trelawney met met here.'When do we sail?' I asked him.'Sail?' he said. 'We sail tomorrow!'I had something to eat, then Mr. Trelawney gave me a letter for Long John Silver at the Spy Glass Inn.There were a lot of sailors in the Spy Glass Inn.I looked round and saw a tall strong man with one leg.'He's Long John Silver,' I thought.'Mr. Silver, sir?'I asked.'Yes, that's my name. And who are you?'I gave him the letter and he took my hand.Suddenly, one of the other men in the inn jumped up and ran to the door.I knew him.It was Black Dog!'Stop him!' I said. 'Stop him! It's Black Dog!''Harry,' said Silver, 'run and catch that man.'A man got up and ran after Black Dog.Long John Silver turned to me."Who was that man?'he asked. 'Black what?''Dog, sir,' I said.'He's a pirate.''A pirate!' said Silver. 'Ben, run and help Harry. You can catch him!'But Ben and Harry came back without Black Dog.'We lost him,' they said.'Well, what is Mr.Trelawney going to think?' said Silver. 'You know, Jim, we did try to catch him. And nobody in the inn knew that he was the pirate Black Dog. Now, Jim,come with me. We're going to see Mr. Trelawney.'Long John Silver walked with me to meet Mr. Trelawney and Dr Livesey.He told them about Black Dog.Mr. Trelawney listened carefully, and then said, 'Well, we can't do anything about Black Dog now.John, tell all the men to come to the ship this afternoon.'The doctor turned tome. 'Come and see the ship, Jim,' he said.

Why are you unhappy?'Well,' said the captain, I don't know where we are going. But all the sailors say we are going to look for treasure. I don't like it. I don't know these men.''Well, what do you want?' asked the doctor.'We must have all the guns in our rooms, sir. And Mr. Trelawney's men must sleep near us, not with the other sailors.''And?' said Mr. Trelawney.'You have a map. Thesailors know about it. Nobody must see that map.''Right, sir,' said Mr.Trelawney. 'We can do that. But I think they're very good men.''Trelawney,' said the doctor later, 'you have two good men, Captain Smollett and Long John Silver.''I don't know about the captain,' said Mr. Trelawney angrily.Then Captain Smollett found me. 'And you, boy, go and help the cook!'We worked all night and in the morning, the ship left Bristol.The Hispaniola was a good ship and we had good weather.The sailors all liked Long John Silver.'In the old days,before he lost his leg, he was a good fighter,' some of them said.'

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson原文Chapter 2: Flint's MapA week later, the captain came down and sat in his usual chair.I went outside the inn and looked up and down the road.I saw another man on the road.He wore a long black coat and he walked very slowly.'He can't see,'I thought.The man arrived in front of the inn and turned his face to me. 'Can you tell me, please, where I am?'I told him.He listened carefully ;'You're young,' he said. 'Take my hand, my young friend, and take me inside.'He took my hand, He was very strong.'Now my young friend,' he said, 'take me to the captain. Quickly! I can break your arm.'When the captain saw the man, he did not move.The man put something into the captain's hand and then left the inn.The captain looked at the black paper in his hand.Then he read the words on it.'Ten o'clock!They're coming at ten o'clock,' he said. 'We've got six hours!'He tried to stand up, but he was too ill.I ran for my mother,but it was too late.When we came back the captain was dead on the floor.My mother and I went to the village, but the people there did not want to help us.They were too afraid.Our friend the doctor was away.Nobody could help us.'I must get my money from the captain's box,' my mother said. 'It's our money.'We opened the box.There were some old coats and shirts and a bag of money.My mother began to take the money.'Quickly!' I said. 'It's nearly ten o'clock.'It was a cold night,and very quiet.Suddenly, I heard a sound on the road.Then I heard someone stop outside the inn.We waited, but then everything was quiet again.Nothing moved.'Quickly, mother!' I said. 'Take all the captain's money.''No,' she said. 'I don't want it all.'Then we heard someone again, outside the front door.'Let's go without the money,'my mother said.I took an envelope from the captain's box. 'I'm going to take this,' I said.We left the inn very quietly through the backdoor.We heard men running along the road to the inn.We stopped behind some trees and watched the men.There were seven or eight of them, all pirates.They broke down the door of the inn and ran inside.'Bill's dead!'someone said.'Open his box!' a second man said.'Flint's map!Where's Flint's map?''We can't find it!''It's not here!''It's those people at the inn - it's that boy! The boy's got the map. Find them, boys!'The men moved quickly.They looked into every room in the inn.'Listen!' one of them said. 'Someone's coming! We must run!''No, find the boy!He's near here somewhere, I know.'Then I heard a gun.The pirates heard it too, and began to run away.We waited for a minute or two and then we went back to the inn.'What did the pirates want?' a man from the village asked me. 'Did they find the captain's money?''Yes,' I said. 'But I think they wanted this.' I showed him the envelope. 'I think there's a map inside it.''You must take it to Mr.Trelawney,'he told me.When I arrived at Mr.Trelawney's house, Dr Livesey was there.'Hello Jim, what is it?' he asked.I told him about the pirates.'Let's see that map,' the doctor said. 'But first, Mr. Trelawney, what do you know about Captain Flint?''Flint?' said Mr.Trelawney. 'He was a famous pirate and a very bad man. Everybody was afraid of Captain Flint. But he's dead now.''Money!' said Mr.Trelawney. 'He was the richest pirate in the West Indies.'Then perhaps this map shows where Captain Flint's treasure is,' said the doctor.'What?' said Mr.Trelawney.Then I must buy a ship and we can all go and look for the treasure.'The doctor opened the map very carefully.It was a map of an island.There was some writing on the map.It said: 'Treasure here'.Mr. Trelawney and the doctor were excited.'Livesey!' said Mr.Trelawney. 'Tomorrow I'm going to Bristol. I'm going to buy a ship and find sailors.Jim, you and Dr Livesey are going to come with me to look for the treasure!'

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson原文Chapter 1: Jim Hawkins' Story IMy father had an inn near the sea.It was a quiet place.One day, an old man came to our door.He was tall and strong, and his face was brown.His old blue coat was dirty and he had a big old box with him.He looked at the inn, then he looked at the sea.My father came to the door.At first the old man did not speak.He looked again at the sea, and at the front of the inn.'I like this place,'he said. 'Do many people come here?''No,' said my father.'I'm going to stay here,' said the old man. 'I want a bed and food. I like watching the sea and the ships. You can call me Captain.'He threw some money on the table.'That's for my bed and my food,' he said.And so the old captain came to stay with us.He was always quiet.In the evenings he sat in the inn and in the day he watched the sea and the ships.One day he spoke tome.'Come here, boy,' he said, and he gave me some money.'Take this, and look out for a sailor with one leg.'He was afraid of that sailor with one leg.I was afraid too.I looked for the man with one leg, but I never saw him.Then winter came,and it was very cold.My father was ill,and my mother and I worked very hard.Early one January morning, the captain went to the beach.I helped my mother to make the captain's breakfast.The door opened and a man came in.His face was very white and he had only three fingers on his left hand.I could see that he was a sailor.'Can I help you?' I asked.The man looked at the captain's breakfast table.'Is this table for my friend Bill?' he asked.'I don't know your friend Bill,' I said. 'It's the captain's table.''The captain?' he said. 'Well, they sometimes call my friend Bill the Captain. Is he here in the house?''No. He's out,'I said.The man sat down and waited for the captain.Then the captain came into the room.He went to his table and sat down.The captain turned round quickly.His face went white.Suddenly, he looked old and ill.'Come, Bill, you know me. You know an old friend, Bill,' said the man.'Black Dog!' said the captain.'Yes,' said the man.'It's me, Black Dog. I wanted to see my old friend Billy.''Well, here I am,'said the captain. 'What do you want?''I want to talk to you, Bill,' Black Dog said.The captain looked at me.'Leave the room,boy,' he said, 'and don't listen at the door.'They talked for along time.Then I heard them talking angrily.'No, no, no!' said the captain.There was a fight and then Black Dog ran out of the house.The captain's face was white.'I must get out of here!'he said.I ran to get him a drink.I came back and found the captain on the floor.His eyes were closed.Our doctor, Dr Livesey, came and looked at the old captain.'He's very ill,'said the doctor.The captain opened his eyes and looked at the doctor.'Where's Black Dog?'he asked.'There's no Black Dog here,' said the doctor.'Now, Billy Bones,you must...''Billy Bones?' said the captain. 'My name's not Billy Bones.''Oh?' said the doctor. 'Oh, yes. It's the name of a famous pirate.'We put the old captain in his bed.'He must stay in his bed for a week,' said the doctor. 'He's very ill.'At twelve o'clock I went to see the captain in his room.'What did the doctor say?'he asked.You must stay in bed for a week,' I told him.'Too late!' he said.'You remember Black Dog. He's a bad man, but there are worse men than Black Dog. They want my old box. You must look out for sailors. You must look out for Flint's men.'Then the captain closed his eyes.But I didn't lookout for sailors, because my father died that night.I was too sad to think about the captain.

As the 2024 Presidential race heats up, award-winning fiction writer Margot Livesey joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to discuss the value of seeing the future in politics and in family life. Are the polls right? Will Donald Trump beat President Joe Biden in the November election? Livesey talks about the role predictions play in our political landscape and in her new novel, The Road from Belhaven, in which a young woman named Lizzie Craig, raised by her grandparents in 19th century Scotland, has the gift of second sight. Livesey discusses the ways that literature has handled the concept of “seeing the future” over time, including the role second sight plays in Macbeth.
