In this episode you'll meet Graham Connelly. Those in the Scottish running community might know Graham, he runs fast and is deep in the fold of Team Pyllon (led by previous podcast guest Paul Giblin). Graham is an engineer, a pro at fixing machines. But at 35, he suffered a breakdown and the wheels flew off his machine. He’d taken on big things at work and willingly sacrificed relationships and relaxation. He couldn’t sit still. He expected great things of himself and others in his life, continually. With anxiety disorder and self-imposed work pressures he stopped sleeping well, which slammed his body chemistry and gradually rage crept into his every day. He lived up to the stereotype of being a man, internalising his anxiety, manning up on the outside as things fell apart on the inside. Graham tells us stories from this time in his life; how he began to wake up to mental health and take ownership for his life, reactions and behaviour. He shares the actionable steps that he took as a guy living in the west of Scotland to look after his mental health and relationships, and the maintenance he still has to prioritise today. We also talk about the role he played in the recent Pyllon Endeavor 2, a 540 mile run down the length of Scotland in the heart of winter. Please give Graham a shout out on social to show him your love, and check out Of Mountains and Minds on Patreon.
Jayne Nisbet is a pro athlete and fellow Scot who placed tenth in the Commonwealth Games 2014 in high jump. Jayne is a passionate voice for recovery from eating disorders, having struggled for years with anorexia and bulimia as a direct result of the pressures and judgement that professional sport can bring. She has since spoken out in national media about her journey through this, and her associated experiences with depression and anxiety. Addressing her demons and seeking external help to get to the root of these struggles was not linear and certainly not easy, but today Jayne can say she has found freedom. Named Scottish Women in Sports Role Model of the Year in 2017, Jayne is now a coach, author, blogger and public speaker in London. We get into her start in athletics; teen training and the first pressures she felt; her mental and physical health unravelling whist at Loughborough High Performance Training Camp; fighting to access the help she needed; and finally receiving meaningful psychotherapy (privately). Jayne also gives her hard-won opinion on full but mindful recovery, the similarities between eating disorders and addictions and her ethics on rest and recovery in training. What a woman. Go check out her show notes on ofmountainsandminds.com and give her a shout out on social if this brings something to your day.

Happy holidays folks! A few weeks back I recorded a special between-season catch up with now three-time guest Gayle Tait, fresh from her mad adventure at UTMB Oman last month. Gayle doesn’t need much intro if you’ve listened before but this ultra running mama is a force in the mountains and an amazing advocate for the power of speaking up. She’s been open about some life-changing mental health experiences (check out episode 25 for more on that). Gayle just got back from running and finishing the brutally technical UTMB Oman, after a difficult DNF at UTMB in Chamonix this summer. She takes us back to Oman with her, enlightening us on the trails, conditions, environment, importance of pre-race expectations and head space, the most difficult moments and just the physicality of the whole weekend, plus her experience with post-adventure blues. Enjoy and please show Gayle your love with a share, rating or little IG story. If you're keen on more bonus content go check out the Of Mountains and Minds page on Patreon, where you can sign up for just $5 per month and access behind the scenes episodes. And watch this space for series six, coming your way early in 2020.
The first step was arriving in Sydney, still not 100% ready, I share my insights and experience so far in Australia as I finalise all the pieces for my bikepacking trip all the way back to the UK. I also chat with my hosts, Paddy and David from Of Mountains and Men, who invited me to stay after listening to my recent podcast with World Spoke People Anneke and Tane, who are also following the same path that they did, just like I am. Pedaling Podcast is a show bought to you from New Zealand as I begin my cycle back home to Britain. I’ll be Pedaling 20,000km over a year with a mission to discover cycling stories across the world. I'm discovering my own journey at the same time, figuring out what drives me to cycle by asking others the same question.

Here’s a challenge for YOU: please listen to this episode this weekend, or before midday on Tuesday 4th December. A little departure today for Of Mountains and Minds. Coming at you is a Christmas charity special talking to a few fascinating people about a chunky challenge we’re all taking on this Saturday 1st December – Cairngorms to Capital. Just a few runners and cyclists from the charity I work for, Link Community Development, hope to complete a mid-winter self-powered relay from the Cairngorms National Park back to Edinburgh. The first leg will consist of a 34 ish mile run from Aviemore to Blair Atholl, along the Lairig Ghru and Glen Tilt trails, and cyclists will start at Blair Atholl and cycle 85+ miles back to Edinburgh, on the back of Storm Diana. Why? Quite apart from our love of category two kicks, the challenge is is to raise awareness and funds for our girls’ education project in rural Ethiopia, helping 44,000 girls access a secondary education for the first time and make their own choices in life. It’s part of The Christmas Challenge crowdfunder, through which donations will be doubled for one week only, from midday on 27th November to midday on 4th December. Every £ donated to our project online during the week is doubled by major donor funds we’ve got in place. So what’s in this random little episode? First, I talk to Fiona Osborne, the sister of our amazing communications maestro at Link, Lyndsey Alexander. Fiona is a medic who has spent time in Africa working with children and is generously taking on quite a bit of the cycling on Saturday. Next, the lovely Duncan McArthur; he is supporting the run section and interviews me for a change! I also chat to Link’s International Programme Director Dr Samantha Ross, fresh off a plane from Ethiopia, about her many years living and working in Africa, contracting malaria and her own cycle plans this weekend. Enjoy and if you share any episode, please make it this one before Tuesday along with the donation link: https://secure.thebiggive.org.uk/donation/to/64842/30269
I'm Caroline McKay, host of the new podcast Of Mountains and Minds with side habits in ultra running and adventure. This is a conversation with my lovely friend Caroline Wills, as an introduction to why I'm starting this project and an honest chat about our backgrounds, passions, struggles and ambitions in life, with a few laughs thrown in. Listen in as we delve into a few issues on our minds and those that we feel we need to talk about more in this country, as well as chat about our own journeys to deciding what we want to do in life. New episodes will now be released every Friday at 9am, featuring interviews with people who have been through life-changing endurance challenges or big changes and transitions.

Im einen Fall Kassettendecks dank elterlicher HiFi-Vorlieben und eine ausgeprägte Maxi-Single-Sucht, im anderen Fall die glückliche Entdeckung der UKW-Frequenz von Sunshine Live und der Data Becker Techno Maker: Die Herren Bösser und Wohde sind spätestens seit der Grundschule Mitte der 90er Connaisseure wohlklingender, meist elektronischer Musik. Auf den gemeinsamen Geschmack kamen sie erst 2005, als auch die ersten Plattenspieler angeschafft und das Frankfurter Einzugsgebiet unsicher gemacht wurde. Die gemächlichen Frankfurter haben seitdem einen groove-zentrierten Sound zwischen Deep- und Tech-House ausbaldowert und uns im vergangenen April mit "Of Mountains & Rainbows" ihr Debut auf dem R|Y|M-Label beschert.

Jon Lechasseur joins me today to share the value to adventure sports, especially biking, hiking, and climbing. Jon, from Montreal, was surprised by all the benefits he found when he started biking to work. His enthusiasm continued to grow for adventure sports of all flavors and led him to create his own podcast, Of Mountains and Men. Are you thinking about getting off the sofa and starting a new life of fun, activity and adventure? This episode is for you. http://www.ofmountainsandmen.com/ Need adventure recipes?
