Podcasts about marathon talk

Both hosts are well and truly in the groove of training, tackling long runs, hard sessions, parkruns, and hitting the weights too. We also dive into the world of the double-threshold workout day, as Eddie slips a double-day into her week!We've got a V50 Heavy Flex, plus a remarkable feat of mental and physical endurance over at Tales from the Trails.Eddie shares some back to back long run wisdom. Gary likes the idea of a double long-run, but he definitely prefers a rest day in between to catch his breath! The coaches also talk about plyometrics, should you do them, how do you do them, and how can you sprinkle them into your week.And, as always, we round things out with big miles and big vert over on Strava.Thanks E & G xxHARRIER - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEASUNGOD - Use code TEAANDTRAILS15 for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gbJANJI - Use the code T&T to receive 15% off.https://janjiuk.avln.me/c/LJuTjHlJEiHdCENTURION RUNNING - Use code TEAANDTRAILS10 to receive 10% off all ordershttps://www.centurionultrarunningstore.com/*Excluding Sale ItemsBEARHUG - Click the link to receive 15% off your order.https://getabearhug.avln.me/c/PAmERmkwPealContent contains affiliate links which help support this channel at no cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Run The Wild - https://runthewild.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Yellow Belly Ultra - https://yellowbellyultras.co.uk/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

This week we sit down with Laura Watts, fresh off her brilliant run at the Leeds & Liverpool Canal Race. An awesome victory, made even more impressive considering she's still not fully recovered from her fifth finish at Badwater.We absolutely loved this chilled chat with Laura. From bumping into famous passengers during her day job, to training stories, to what it's actually like running through Death Valley again and again, to the power of CurraNZ as part of her training and racing, it's all in there.And of course, Laura rounds things off with a banger of an Instagram song choice.HARRIER - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEASUNGOD - Use code TEAANDTRAILS15 for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gbJANJI - Use the code T&T to receive 15% off.https://janjiuk.avln.me/c/LJuTjHlJEiHdCENTURION RUNNING - Use code TEAANDTRAILS10 to receive 10% off all ordershttps://www.centurionultrarunningstore.com/*Excluding Sale ItemsBEARHUG - Click the link to receive 15% off your order.https://getabearhug.avln.me/c/PAmERmkwPealContent contains affiliate links which help support this channel at no cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Run The Wild - https://runthewild.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Yellow Belly Ultra - https://yellowbellyultras.co.uk/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

Eddie's been busy heading south this week, supporting Lucy Gossage as she storms her way down the Pennine Way on a record breaking FKT. Meanwhile, Gary popped north of the border and treated himself to some glorious East Lothian trails.Over on Strava, the miles are big, the birthday shout‑outs are bumper, and this week's Tales from the Trails brings a mix of inspiration and a good dose of perspective.Stu & Eddie have a brew with the coaches takeover as we follow Eddies journey to the 2027 winter spine race. Stu has been on the podcast before and Eddie has kindle agreed to share her session as she follows The Unbreakable Athlete mindset program.Endurance Mindset Coaching - https://www.endurancemindcoaching.com/And finally, Eddie and Gary chat through a few race options you might want to pencil in if you were one of the unlucky souls who didn't make it through the Lakeland 50 or 100 ballot. Or maybe the idea of heading to Cumbria doesn't float your boat at all.

We all know nothing is guaranteed in ultra running, and the longer the race, the higher the jeopardy climbs.This week, we share the story of two runners who are no strangers to the sharp end of some of the UK's toughest events. Both lined up at the 2026 Race Across Scotland, but their races unfolded very differently. For one runner, it ended in an agonisingly close to the finish DNF, for the other, it became a come from behind victory.It was incredibly brave of Anna to share her race, and Laura, being the class act she is, handles the whole situation with real grace.HARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEASUNGOD - Use code TEAANDTRAILS15 for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gbJANJI - Use the code T&T to receive 15% off.https://janjiuk.avln.me/c/LJuTjHlJEiHdCENTURION RUNNING - Use code TEAANDTRAILS10 to receive 10% off all ordershttps://www.centurionultrarunningstore.com/*Excluding Sale ItemsBEARHUG - Click the link to receive 15% off your order.https://getabearhug.avln.me/c/PAmERmkwPealThe information in our content is provided as an information resource and is not to be used or relied on for any diagnostic or treatment purposes.

Gary has been racing! Well… not quite racing, but he definitely wasn't taking it easy. Either way, he loved his time up on the Moors at the Hardmoors Roseberry Topping Trail Marathon.Eddie's been in full entertainment mode, and with the kids finally back at school it's back on the horse, juggling life, training, and trying to squeeze everything in.The coaches step in to help a listener who needs some guidance on fueling multi‑day adventures, perfect timing with the Dragon's Back Race just around the corner.And warming up… maybe you do, maybe you don't, before a run, race, or workout. Whatever your habit, we can probably all agree our rusty bones deserve a proper warm‑up before we ask them to move with purpose. Stick around to the bitter end because Eddie shares some thoughts and ideas that might just change your routine.Over in the Strava club we've got a UTMB appearance, and the Lakeland 100 love continues in the Heavy Flex corner.HARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEASUNGOD - Use code TEAANDTRAILS15 for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gbCENTURION RUNNING - Use code TEAANDTRAILS10 to receive 10% off all ordershttps://www.centurionultrarunningstore.com/*Excluding Sale ItemsBEARHUG - Click the link to receive 15% off your order.https://getabearhug.avln.me/c/PAmERmkwPealThe information in our content is provided as an information resource and is not to be used or relied on for any diagnostic or treatment purposes.

We had hoped this week's episode would offer a fascinating insight into the preparation of an elite athlete as they geared up for their next race; however, fate conspired against us, and the day after we recorded it, Conner Mantz had to withdraw from the 130th Boston Marathon.

Hopefully, you'll still enjoy our conversation with the US Marathon record holder and gain some insight into his mindset as he approaches his next major. Also on the show, we're joined by author Raz Rauf, who has a new book out called This Is Running: A Celebration of the World of Running, exploring the culture, history, brands, races and people behind it.
