Adam Hills is a seriously funny man, and most well known as host of Channel 4's hugely successful The Last Leg on Friday nights. Born in Sydney without a right foot, he turned his disability to his advantage and often referred to it in his comedy. His first stand up show was in 1997, and he became a hit at the Melbourne International comedy festival and the Edinburgh Fringe. Some alternative commentating on the 2012 London Summer Paralympics led to Channel 4 giving him his own series, which has now broadcast its 300th episode.

Adventurers and endurance athletes Mimi Anderson and Lowri Morgan come together in conversation. It's a special chat between two females who specialise in endurance challenges, often in extreme environments. They've both excelled at ultra running, but in 2022 they are coming together to take on the Pan-Celtic race, a self-supported bike race around the Celtic heartlands. This is full of wonderful lessons, stories, inspiration and laughter too. You'll hear: 05:00 Start of the interview with Mimi and Lowri, including how they met. "I followed Lowri when she did the 6633 because I thought she is going to take my record away from me! And I thought one day we have to do an adventure together," says Mimi. "No way was I going to take your record Mimi," Lowri says! 07:25 More about the 6633 Artic Ultra which is a 352.64 miles self-sufficient race. They talk about not having communication with the outside world, why 50miles is like a sprint finish and how they keep going when everyone else has dropped out. "You don't think about it," Mimi says. I had fallen asleep standing up at one point, but I was 18 hours ahead of the next person and my brain wasn't functioning and you can't fathom distance." I know I might not be the fastest, but I want to be the best prepared athlete," Lowri says. 17:00 Mimi talks about some of the mental games that go through her head when she is competing. 20:00 Mimi on failure 'I've had some epic failures in my life.' And we talk about having to stop doing something because of injury and the importance of being able to diversify and change direction. 30:00 Mimi and Lowri on the https://www.pancelticrace.com/ (Pan-Celtic race). "It's a journey. It's the furthest the two of us have done. The aim is to do it in 9 days, so that we make the after-party. The day of the party is my 60th birthday," says Mimi. Lowri adds "I'm so glad I'm with Mimi because she knows the mental toughness you need to get through these races." 36:45 "I love kit, I should have been a man!" Mimi says. This is getting me really excited, Mimi!" We will smell like mad when we finish as we will probably just take two kits. You can't carry loads because it just makes the bike too heavy. 39:30 The huge 'down' after a big challenge or adventure. "When I get back from races, my family give me two minutes to talk." 40:45 Mimi talks about how she only started to run in her mid-late 30s. "When I started running, it was purely to have thinner legs. And back then, you didn't see people running the streets or with backpacks. It just wasn't done. The revelation came when I realised people ran outside, not just on treadmills." "I hope I have shown my children and grandchildren that you can do these things. I want to encourage other women to go and do these adventures." "It's taking that plunge and if something happens, you deal with it at the time." 46:40 We talk CONFIDENCE! And body confidence and how Mimi overcame anorexia. "Life was horrible really." "But as an athlete, I look at my body now and we have extraordinary bodies. My legs have enabled me to run in places around the world that I could never have imagined. I think we forget how incredible and beautiful our bodies are, that enable us to do epic things. I still have days I don't like my body, but on the whole I love it." Lowri: It does give you that inner strength. The lessons I have learnt on the trails have helped me in life. On the trails, you reach a point where your mind is telling you to give up, that you've reached a wall. You think you're going to collapse, but then your limits don't break and you realise then that you find the 4th, 5th, 6th gear and the smile returns. In life in general you get doors than close in your face, but then you find a way around it. In life in general, when things don't go the way I want them to, I think back to the trails." 51:00 We talk about preparing the mind for big challenges. So. Many. Golden. Nuggets!

Tom catches up with Geraint who's out in sunny Mallorca on training camp as we get an update on his shoulder injury and Ineos' team bonding sessions. We also invite ultra marathon runner Lowri Morgan onto the GTCC to chat epic races across the Arctic, Amazon and Wales' Dragon Back Race. But which one will Geraint choose to do when he retires?

In this episode we review the book 'Beyond Limits' by Lowri Morgan. Char is joined by Bookhounds Pack members Tasha Johnson and Toby Fells to chat about why they probably won't be undertaking any epic adventures through the Amazon jungle and the importance of having a strong mind. Plus Char shares the story of when Celine Dion saved her life during the Yorkshire Marathon. About the book: 'Beyond Limits' by Lowri Morgan. Lowri Morgan is a well known name: TV presenter, adventurer, ultra-marathon runner. But what is it that has led her to live a life of such extremes? What has enabled her to develop the strength and resilience to tackle some of the planet's toughest environments? Here, Lowri explores the mind and body she has pushed beyond pain, beyond her expectations, and beyond limits.

Hello and welcome to Further Faster, in association with Montane. I'm Daniel Neilson and it's my job to talk to ultra athletes, explorers, climbers and mountaineers who are at the top of their game, to find out why they do what they do and how they do what they do.  So, we could call this episode a Dragon's Back Race special. A little ode to a big race - a race big enough to be described as the toughest mountain race in the world.  The 2021 edition of the race - setting off in September - covers 380km of the most beautiful Welsh landscape in 6 days, a height gain of 17,400 metres.   And in some ways, the next 40 minutes with Lowri Morgan and Chris Baynham-Hughes is that – these are two people passionate about the Dragon's Back Race, but really what this three-way chat became was an insight into the power of races like this to foster friendships, to push boundaries that in turn benefit all elements of life, and why participating in events like this is a privilege, an adventure and, most importantly, a joy. 

Today I am speaking to Lowri Morgan @_lowrimorgan - ultra runner, broadcaster, running coach and Mum of one who is currently training for Ironman Wales.  Apologies for my dog briefly interrupting our chat!Lowri talks about her adventures before her son - including the Jungle Ultra and being the only person to complete the brutally cold 350 mile 6633 Ultra in the Arctic.When she became pregnant she continued to run 5 miles a day and started running again 2 weeks post birth to train for the 3 Peaks Yacht Race in the first all female team.Lowri then went on to compete in the Dragons Back Race across Wales and talks passionately about her love for endurance events.Becoming a mum has not slowed Lowri down and if anything she believes it has made her stronger and that she is able to be a role model for her son and show him that we have to work hard in order to achieve.You can find out more about Lowri on her website - lowrimorgan.co.uk, her coaching at @run.fluence and read her book -Beyond Limits.I hope you enjoy this episode.  If so, please take the time to leave a review on Apple Podcasts and even better, share this with a mum friend or anyone you think might be inspired by Lowri's story.

Lowri Morgan is blooming' incredible. She is an ultra runner (despite a being told after a rugby accident that she would never run again), BAFTA winning presenter for S4C, Eisteddfod winner, and has lived with a nomadic tribe in Namibia. She is one of the few people on the planet to have taken the 2.5 hour submersion journey underwater (that's just to get to the sea bed) to see the Titanic in her final resting place. She has completed the 200 mile Dragon Back Ultra Race, the 350 mile Arctic Ultra and the 220km Jungle Marathon. She is quite possibly the toughest women I've ever met. She is a lesson in perseverance, in saying 'yes' and the woman who brings us the nine life rules of Nel. Buy Lowri's book, Beyond Limits from your local book shop or the usual outlets.

Once upon a time, there was a girl who lived where snowy peaks scraped the sky. Her name was Aisholpan. For generations, Kazakh nomads in Mongolia raised golden eagles to hunt. Aisholpan’s father was one of the best eagle hunters, so she asked him to teach her everything he knew. Despite the danger, she caught and trained her own eagle in the icy Altai mountains. She became the first woman to enter the Golden Eagle competition—and win!—inspiring female eagle hunters for years to come.Sponsored by: www.rebelgirls.coUse promocode REBELPODCAST to get 15% off your first purchase!About the Narrator:Lowri Morgan is an accomplished broadcaster, ultra-athlete and motivational speaker.

Whether it's climbing Everest, hiking through the Amazon jungle or cycling round the world, why are more of us taking on extreme endurance challenges which push our minds and bodies to the limit? Marathons now seem commonplace and a whole new breed of extreme events have come along such as the double, triple or even Deca Ironman, sailing thousands of miles alone, multi-day adventure races and activities that defy description. Presenter Lowri Morgan spends much of her time seeking out these adventures and extreme challenges. She is an ultra-runner and has raced 350 miles non-stop across the Arctic Circle and run through the Amazon jungle. She talks to other runners about what motivates them to tackle such long distances, often in extreme conditions. We hear from one competitor racing in the Himalayas who started taking on endurance challenges after a difficult time in his life. Another runner who is attempting to get the record number of ultra marathons in a year and run a thousand marathons in four years, says he has yet to celebrate any of his achievements. According to experts, the main motivation for competitors is to test themselves to the limit and to set and achieve a goal. Endurance athletes appear to have a higher tolerance to pain than the rest of us and a more positive mood, not only after a race but during their daily lives too. But there can be downsides. There's evidence that endurance athletes – in particular runners – have a much higher chance of exercise addiction which can impact on their health and family life. But for many, the satisfaction they feel when they have completed such an extreme event means they soon come back for more.

Laura Muir & Callum Hawkins are on fire, the IAAF toughen up, Nitro athletics launches in Down Under style. Tony’s back with his Trials, I speak to BAFTA-award-winning world-class ultra-endurance runner Lowri Morgan, Aftershokz partner Run Camp, you guys Rate Your Run, rock your Xempo kit around the world, stand atop the Podium … and Tom’s a poorly little soldier.

In this interview the guys get the chance to talk to one of the coolest, toughest people on the planet. Lowri Morgan is one of only 6 people (ever) to finish the 350 mile non-stop marathon in the Arctic and not only can she survive extreme cold, she can do heat too as she finished in the top 10 on her first ever ultra in the Amazonian jungle.  She has won BAFTAs, jumped out of planes, and she has met the Queen. Her incredible achievements are matched by how down-to-earth she is and this chatty, relaxed podcast is almost the opposite of the BBR way since it is both informative and useful.
