Czy zdecydowalibyście się żeby dla przyjemności pojechać do Anglii w styczniu? Mój dzisiejszy gość Grzegorz Korsak mieszka w Szkocji od 20 lat i zalicza na wyspach jedne z najbardzej wymagających ultra: 350 km Race Across Scotland, 350 km Summer Spine Race, czy 153 km West Highland Way Challenge - to nie są łatwe biegi. Fatalna pogoda, podmokła i nierówna nawierzchnia, rzadko rozstawione punkty odżywcze - to wszystko powoduje, że na starcie tych wyścigów stajesz z ciężkim plecakiem przygotowany na prawie wszystko. Jakby tego było mało w styczniu Grzegorz ukończył jeden z najtrudniejszy wyścigów Winter Spine Race. Ultra o długości 430 km, którego trasa wiedzie szlakiem Pennine Way, który przecina Anglię wzdłuż jej kręgosłupa a jego meta jest na granicy ze Szkocją. Na trasie Grzesiek napotkał na wachania temperatur od 2 do minus 12 stopni, zaledwie kilka godzin światła na dobę, deszcz, śnieg, wiatr powalający go z nóg i lód, na kóry jeśli nie jesteś przygotowany zaoferuje ci jazdę w dół i siniaki.Posłuchajcie obłędnego twardziela, który w prosty sposób definiuje czym jest ultra, co nam daje i po co to robimy. Tak jak Grzegorz powiedział - nikt kto robi takie ultra nie jest do końca normalny i to na całe szczęście.Jeśli lubisz ten podcast dołącz do grona patronów pod adresem http://www.blackhatultra.pl/wsparciePodcast utrzymuje się tylko ze środków wpłacanych przez słuchaczy.
The HappyCast is back for its second episode of the season, and what better way to continue the chaos than to have John Farris return for this third episode - this time to talk about one of the most insane and unforgettable races yet: the Montane Winter Spine Race. This is a 268 mile foot race across the pond in the UK in the dead of winter that has developed quite the reputation. Could you do a race that had no checkpoint or aid station for up to 60 miles at a time? How about not having any pacers or crew? We sit down and sip on some beverages and let loose with John as we catch up and see how things have been going since his last appearance a year and a half ago. From incredible highs, to some unfortunate lows, John has been through it all, but it's safe to say that things have never been better. From training, race logistics, oversleeping, testicular chaffing and borderline rectal hemorrhaging (and one unfortunate aid station volunteer), this episode has it all. And as always, thank you Jose Cuervo for unofficially sponsoring this podcast, and thank you for your service, Trojan. You were good while it lasted. We can't wait to have John on for a fourth time, but we will have to wait and see what adventures await the Texas legend himself.

Send us a textThis is the story of Kev's Spine Race. The tale of a massive navigational error that led to a dot watching thriller for the Ultra running community. Which also resulted in a huge sponsorship success for the Freetobekids charity thanks to the highly invested Spine dot watching world. So just what did happen out there on the Pennine Way to Dot 205?

Brutal, despiadada, inhumana... la lista de palabras para calificar la Montane Spine Race es extensa, pero quizás el calificativo más adecuado sea el de cruel. Una prueba que no admite el más mínimo fallo, que espera su oportunidad y que no hace prisioneros. Uno de los corredores que más ha experimentado esa crueldad es Eugeni Rosselló. La Spine Race ha sido una constante en el calendario del catalán, desde su trunfo en 2013. Desde entonces, constantes decepciones en el Pennine Way, desde el abandono por hipotermia en 2014 hasta el de 2020 cuando marchaba segundo o el cruel del 2019, a pocos kilómetros de llegar a meta. Sólo el tercer puesto del 2017 endulzó está relación de amor odio. Parecía que, al fin, este 2026 iba a ser diferente. Había liderado la prueba desde la primera milla, tenía una ventaja de más de dos horas sobre sus perseguidores, sólo le faltaban quince millas para llegar a meta y tocar la pared del Border Hotel en primera posición, pero el cuerpo dijo basta y un agotamiento extremo le ha obligado a abandonar. Eugeni Rosselló analiza en Sweet Home Alabama su experiencia en la edición 2026, así como su relación con una prueba que ya casi se ha convertido en obsesión y la que ya confirma que volverá en 2027. Un programa en el que también intervienen Antonio Codina y Albert Torrent.
430 kilomètres, 10 700 mètres de dénivelé, des rafales à 80 km/h, une tempête de neige à -10°C, et seulement 5 heures de sommeil en 95 heures d'effort : bienvenue dans l'enfer blanc de la Montane Winter Spine Race.L'édition 2026 restera dans les annales comme l'une des plus brutales jamais organisées sur le mythique Pennine Way anglais. Une hécatombe. Les favoris sont tombés un à un, terrassés par le froid, la fatigue et les éléments déchaînés. Pourtant, un homme a su dompter l'apocalypse : Sébastien Raichon, 53 ans, vient de signer l'un des plus grands exploits de l'ultra-trail en remportant cette course impensable.Sans entraînement spécifique, sans connaître le terrain, sans jamais s'être confronté au froid extrême en compétition, le Français a adopté un "rythme de sénateur" pendant que les marathoniens en 2h20 explosaient devant lui. Longtemps septième, il a assisté à la débâcle des leaders, jusqu'à croiser l'Espagnol Eugeni Roselló Solé, "au bout de sa vie", à 25 kilomètres du but. La dernière nuit dans la tempête, Sébastien s'est "fait peur", le sommeil le terrassant presque, mais il a tenu. 95 heures, 43 minutes et 47 secondes plus tard, il franchissait la ligne à Kirk Yetholm en vainqueur.Dans cet épisode exceptionnel, Sébastien nous raconte cette aventure insensée, sa gestion mentale hors norme, le mystère de son masque AirTrim qui a tant fait parler, et pourquoi cette victoire est "sans doute la plus belle de sa carrière".***Course Épique, c'est le podcast running et trail qui vous fait vivre dans chaque épisode une histoire de course à pied hors du commun.Pour ne rien manquer de notre actualité et vivre les coulisses du podcast, suivez-nous sur Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/courseepique.podcast/Retrouvez également Course Epique en vidéo sur YouTube : https://bit.ly/courseepique_youtubeCourse Épique, un podcast imaginé et animé par Guillaume Lalu et produit par Sportcast Studios Hébergé par Acast.

The Spine Race Explained: Ultra Running, Mental Resilience & SurvivalWhat does it really take to survive one of the toughest endurance events in the world?In this episode, Rob, Ben and Emma welcome back Gareth Jones to unpack his recent experience at the legendary Spine Race — a brutal 268-mile journey along the Pennine Way that Gareth describes as a survival expedition rather than a race.Gareth shares an honest, unfiltered account of what it's like to move through extreme weather, exhaustion, and sleep deprivation while navigating one of the most unforgiving routes in ultra running. From hallucinations and physical fatigue to the mental battles that defined the race, he reflects on finishing 22nd out of 87 runners and the lessons learned about pacing, preparation, and resilience.The conversation dives into the realities of self-supported racing — carrying food, managing kit, navigating checkpoints, and making smart decisions when everything hurts. Alongside the hardship, Gareth also highlights moments of camaraderie, humour, and perspective, reminding listeners why mindset and mental health matter just as much as physical fitness in ultra-endurance events.As the episode closes, Gareth looks ahead to future challenges, including races in Marbella and the Arctic, and shares a powerful reminder: ultra running isn't about obsessing over distance — it's about respecting the journey from start to finish.This is a compelling listen for anyone interested in ultra running, mental resilience, or what happens when the body is pushed to its absolute limits.HighlightsWhat the Spine Race really involves — and why it's a survival expeditionBattling unpredictable weather and extreme fatigueMental resilience and decision-making under pressureThe realities of self-supported ultra racingHallucinations, sleep deprivation, and race psychologyFinishing 22nd in one of the world's toughest endurance eventsLessons on pacing, preparation, and mindsetWhy enjoying the journey matters more than the distanceWhat's next for Gareth, including upcoming extreme racesRemember to follow us on Instagram, subscribe on YouTube, and watch us LIVE every Monday.And don't forget — join the Couch to Coached Strava run club by searching Couch to Coached on Strava.

Get in touch with Ultrarunning Sam here ⬅️Jack returns to the podcast to talk about Spine South this coming weekend.Jack broke with his tradition of radio silence prior to big races, in favour of a more relaxed approach to media. Is this a new version of Jack? Possibly so it seems...... Jack previously stayed away from the media prior to the Spine to stay in his zone mentally. But now Jack is a bit older and a bit wiser its seems and has learned to switch off his mental game prior to races and only dip into it when its really needed.....like when he's racing the likes of Mark Darbyshire and Dan Weller up the Pennine Way to chase down the course record!We dive into what he's been up to in the last year. How he's prepared slightly differently this time and what he expects to put down in the race if the conditions are favourable. We also talk about his coaching business and his big secret plans for this coming summer! Listen/watch the episode to find out more!HT@ultrarunning_sam @hometrails_ http://www.youtube.com/@ultrarunningsam
Damian Hall is an ultrarunner, coach and writer who has held records on many of the UK's long distance challenges including the Pennine Way, Paddy Buckley Round, Cape Wrath Trail and Wainwrights Coast to Coast. He has placed 5th in UTMB (2018), 4th in Tor des Geants (2023), and has won the Spine Race. He has competed in the infamous Barkley Marathons ultra twice.Damian is also a founder of The Green Runners which is a global community of over 3000 runners who aim to highlight and take action on the climate and ecological crisis. Their 4 Pillars consider How We Move (travel), How We Kit-up, How We Fuel (diet), and How We Speak Out (activism). Damian talks us through the formation of The Green Runners, as well as talking about campaigns and activism, such as action taken against sportswashing. One of Damian's books is 'We Can't Run Away From This' which examines running's carbon footprint and ways to improve on this. In September 2025 and on the back of his Lakeland 100 win, Damian set out in suboptimal weather for his Three Solo Challenge where he attempted to run the UK Big Three rounds (Charlie Ramsay, Bob Graham and Paddy Buckley rounds) linked together by public transport. The Big Three had previously been linked together by car by Mark Hartley (1990) and then by bike by John Kelly (2020) in his Grand Round. Damian's round would add the vagaries of Britain's public transport system into the mix. We talk logistics and sleep deprivation, deteriorating weather, and about how he made the eventual decision to bail due to worsening conditions on the final half of the Paddy Buckley round in Snowdonia. Damian's website: www.ultradamo.comThe Green Runners: https://thegreenrunners.com/Into Ultra: https://intoultra.org.uk/homeThe round the world cycling book I mention is 'Coffee First, Then The World' by Jenny Graham.

In this episode, we dive into the incredible journeys of Gillian McGale and Catherine Cowie as they recount their experiences in the gruelling Montane Summer Spine Race 2025. From personal milestones to overcoming physical and mental challenges, their stories are a testament to resilience and determination.The Montane Summer Spine Race is a grueling, non-stop ultra-marathon covering the entire 268-mile (431 km) length of the Pennine Way, widely dubbed "Britain's Most Brutal" endurance race. It starts in Edale, Derbyshire, and finishes in Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish Borders.Participants have a time limit of 156 hours (6.5 days) to complete the course, which involves approximately 10,732 meters (35,210 feet) of ascent. Unlike staged races, the Spine is continuous, meaning runners race through day and night, managing their own sleep, nutrition, and safety. Participants are allowed to utilise public amenities like cafes and pubs along the route, but no individual support crews are permitted.Gillian had decided it would be a great way to celbrate her 50th birthday, which coincided with the race start date of Sunday 15 June. For Catherine it was a return to face again the foe of the Pennine Way. We discuss the detailed preparation from both, the kit, the recces, the socks, the shoes, the ...everything!It's an invigorating, inspirational but also a 'what the hell' listen of determination, heroics and sleep deprived journey from Edale to Kirk Yetholm.Did we mention lasagne?
In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we're joined by the incredible Rebecca Devereux — a dedicated mum, a vet, and a passionate trail and ultra runner. Rebecca shares her journey into endurance running, her training highs and lows, and what it took to place third in one of Britain's most brutal races — the Montane Winter Spine Sprint, a 46-mile challenge across the rugged Pennine Way in the depths of winter. We dive into Rebecca's approach to training and mindset, how she balances family life with her love for the trails, and her growing involvement with Black Trail Runners, a community breaking down barriers in the outdoors. From road marathons to alpine trails, Rebecca's story is one of resilience, preparation, and quiet determination — whether she's running through snowstorms in spikes, racing in the Swiss Alps, or supporting others in their running journeys.

Would you ever walk the 'Backbone of Britain'? 2025 marks 60 years since the UK got it's first official long distance pathway - the Pennine Way. As political as it was pioneering, Wander Woman Phoebe Smith delves into the history of this hard-fought-for trail - one that is integral to all the rights walkers enjoy today, discovering a kick-ass, bell bottomed jeans wearing hiker in the 1960s, before heading out with her friend Cerys Matthews to walk a prime 3-day section in the present day, to meet other walkers, accommodation owners and bar workers, and discover what has changed here in the six decades since it opened.

...in which we take a stroll – just Mark and Dave – from Seatoller to Sty Head Tarn to announce the end of Countrystride (for now) and reflect on 149 episodes and 6.5 years of the podcast. Under perfect Spring skies, we catch the bus from Keswick to Seatoller, where we cast our minds back to our tech- and expertise-lacking trial run above Seathwaite and share favourite memories of the hours spent in the fells since, with the Pennine Way, Goldscope Mine and Upper Eskdale all featuring among Mark and Dave's 'best in show' lists. Arriving at Styhead Tarn, we settle alongside its sparkling waters to reflect on our lifelong love of the Lakes, before asking a series of fellow walkers about their relationship with the fells. Turning the Countrystride Quickfire Questions on ourselves, we learn that Mark's favourite fell is Blencathra and his Lakeland hero is Hardwicke Rawnsley, while Dave gets passionate about AW and advocates the joy of a pint at YHA Ambleside. After 150 episodes, we are taking a break from Countrystride. We may be back; we may not. Do keep in touch by signing up to our newsletter here (just scroll down the page a little).

Angela Maxwell spent nearly seven years walking around the world — solo. Covering over 20,000 miles across four continents and 16 countries, she braved the Australian outback, battled dengue fever in Vietnam, and faced the daily challenge of finding safe places to sleep, often in a tent. A self-described introvert and novice adventurer when she began, Angela's journey was as much an inner transformation as a physical one — fuelled by fear, curiosity, and an unwavering commitment to explore what it means to live with courage. Angela walked with purpose, raising funds to support girls rescued from human trafficking, and continues that mission through mentoring and women's empowerment workshops. She's been featured by Lonely Planet, BBC Travel, and Outside Magazine, and most recently became one of the first women to swim across the Caspian Sea — a feat that took 28 days and redefined her relationship with fear and endurance. Now based in Wales (for the moment), Angela is writing a book about her world walk and sharing her philosophy that “courage is a verb.” Whether she's walking, swimming, or simply choosing the unknown, Angela lives by example — proving that adventure doesn't require expertise, just the decision to begin. *** New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)!

Episode 202 of The Adventure Podcast features, long distance runner and construction worker, Jack Scott. Over the past few years Jack has grabbed the attention of the British ultra running scene for some stellar achievements that most people in the know thought were literally impossible. In 2024 Jack won the infamous Spine Race, a 268-mile ultramarathon along the Pennine Way, shattering the previous course record by over 10 hours. This isn't a conversation discussing trail shoes or favourite energy gels, instead this episode gives an insight into Jack's mind, attitude and where he finds his motivation. He talks to Matt about his previous gambling addiction and the 'dark and dangerous' place he has learnt to use, his Spine Race losses and win, his training mentality, and the importance of giving yourself time to grow.

...in which we head south to Pendle Hill to explore the extraordinary lives of two campaigning outdoorsmen, who helped establish National Parks, Youth Hostels, the Ramblers and The Pennine Way – 60 years young this year. In the company of Nick Burton and Bob Sproule from the Pendle Radicals project, we set out from the Lancashire village of Roughlee, where the scene is set for the arrival of the 'two Toms' – a time where workers in the industrial north had to fight to access the hills around them. Striding onto Noggarth Edge, where views open over the former mill towns of Colne, Nelson and Burnley, we learn about the early life of Tom Stephenson, father of the Pennine Way, who was working in a calico works aged 13, and whose life changed forever on Pendle Hill. Jailed as a conscientious objector during World War I, we follow Tom into his campaigning years, when the concept of his 'Long Green Trail' took root. Descending to Pendle Water, we introduce the Reverend Thomas Arthur Leonard OBE, one-time minister of Barrow-in-Furness and Colne, whose commitment to social reform – and suspicion of the boozy Wakes weeks – gifted us the Co-operative Holidays Association, and its successor the Holiday Fellowship (he is commemorated in a plaque on Cat Bells). Arriving at the last-of-its-kind Clarion House, where working class cyclists and walkers still meet for shelter, education and fellowship, we enjoy the cheapest cup of tea in Lancashire, before reflecting on the golden age of access pioneers, and their remarkable legacy. Clarion House can be found here. For more about the Pendle Radicals, see here. More information about the Two Toms Trail can be found here.

Stu's races really are representative of what local grassroots ultramarathon's are all about. Low prices, maximum fun and a loyal community of racers. If you haven't done one of Stu's races before then I suggest you look them up!Stu spent many years as part of the Spine safety team, before setting up his own race company rangerultras.co.uk.Ranger Ultras delivers financially accessible events in and around the Peak District and Yorkshire Moors.In line with his ethos of low key, high quality events. Stu felt that trail runners should be able to enjoy the views of the Pennines that the big corporate sponsored multi-day races offer (mentioning no names) but without the huge price tag. This led to the conception of his PB270 and PB137 races in April.Both fully supported start the clock ultras up the Pennine Bridleway, from Middleton Top near Matlock, to Kirkby Stephen for the 270.The 137 goes from Hebden Bridge to Kirkby Stephen, starting a day later.All of the wow factor of a multi-day race along the Pennines, but without the traveling circus and high costs.Ranger Ultras currently offer the below races throughout the year for you to get stuck into!PB270 - Pennine Bridleway ChallengePB137 - Pennine Bridleway ChallengeYorkshire 3 Peaks Peak District South and North (1 day or full weekend options)PB55km UltraPB18km UltraHigh Peak 70/100 UltraHigh Peak 18km TrailAs well as the grand slam over the race season.....Follow the below link to find out more rangerultras.co.ukURS
Fredi Chohan is a sports enthusiast and advocate for embracing new challenges, proving it's never too late to take on something extraordinary. At 54, she became an Adventure Queen Grant winner, using the support to embark on her first-ever multi-day hike: the 268-mile Pennine Way. Growing up with a passion for sports like hockey and football, Fredi carried her love for physical activity into adulthood, playing hockey at the club level and coaching under-7s football. After losing her mother and finding herself at a crossroads in life, she was inspired by a friend to step into the world of long-distance walking. The Adventure Queen Grant gave her the push she needed to train, plan, and undertake this life-changing journey. Starting from Kirk Yetholm and walking south, Fredi faced both triumphs and challenges, including overpacking, embracing her slow pace, and navigating the outdoors solo as an Asian woman. While a family emergency initially prevented her from completing the final two days, Fredi later returned to the trail with friends to finish her Pennine Way journey and celebrated her 55th birthday with a renewed sense of purpose and accomplishment. In this episode, Fredi reflects on her Pennine Way experience, how she captured it in a documentary with Frit Films, and her advice for women—of any age or background—who are dreaming of taking their first steps toward adventure. *** Catch the latest episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast, dropping every Tuesday at 7 am UK time!

UK's BEST Walking Holidays - Self Guided Hiking Vacations Walk the charming countryside of England, Scotland or Wales in the United Kingdom on one of these fantastic long distance paths! Your holiday will be self-guided, so you walk at your own pace on your own timetable, stopping to savor a tea break or grabbing a meal or a pint at the pub. Your luggage is transported to each evening's charming inn, so all you have to carry is your day pack. Breakfast is included, so either stop for lunch or pack a lunch for your walk, and then enjoy a local restaurant in the historic village that is your home for the night. Meet plenty of locals and fellow international walkers on these famous and historic old trading paths.

In Running Through the Dark, Jen talks about her ambitions, not just to run the 268-mile Pennine Way but to take the record as the fastest woman to do so. But that didn't happen. Nothing went according to plan. The Jen the world knew was a successful lawyer and running coach – all photoshoots and finish-line smiles – but the truth was much darker.

It's time to talk about the Montane Summer Spine Race 2024! Those who attended this year's race will know it looked a lot like a winter one. Conditions were extremely difficult and the athletes who did well this June can quite rightly say they completed a race as tough in its own way as any January edition. Among those brave runners were Chris Cope and Mel Sykes. Chris and Mel arrived at the start line of this year's Summer Spine Race and Summer Spine Challenger South respectively, with a slightly higher mountain to climb than most people around them. Chris has type 1 diabetes which he has managed, to great success, since his teens. Mel was returning to the Pennine Way for the second year in a row having experienced a very serious incident between races, an incident described by Mel herself as finding out 'her brain was falling out'. In this episode both Chris and Mel chat with Will about their experiences out on the Pennine Way and about the conditions they overcame in order to achieve Spine Race success.
En los días después de su fallecimiento mucha gente ha escrito sobre Joss Naylor, pero las palabras de John Kelly son probablemente las que le definen mejor. “Para mí, lo que le llevó de ser grande a ser una presencia inmortal que siempre vivirá en las carreras de montaña es el apoyo que brindó a la gente hasta al final. No colgó las zapatillas y se rindió cuando ya no pudo competir. Siguió adelante y salió a alentar a otros a seguir adelante. Si puedo vivir otros 50 años como el vivio sus ultimos anos, entonces habran sido bien vividos incluso si nunca más subo al podio o rompo otro récord”. Considerado el mejor “fell runner» de la historia, Joss Naylor estableció muchos récords de larga distancia en los años 70 y 80, cuando correr ultras no era nada habitual y todavía no existían los materiales técnicos y los avances en nutrición a los que estamos acostumbrados. En Sweet Home Alabama, con Antonio Codina, recordamos su vida y algunos de sus hitos más importantes, como cuando en 1974 le quitó 24 horas al récord del Pennine Way, completándolo en 3 días 4 horas y 36 minutos y completó la ruta que une los 26 lagos del Lake District en 19 horas y 15 minutos, un récord todavía por batir. O su proyecto más ambicioso, el de enlazar todos los 214 Wainwrights, que completo en 7 días y una hora.

This ain't no one way conversation though as we get into what it takes to mentally get through those races and why the Pennine Way is just so hard to run on. There are some proper good nuggets in this one, so make sure you share it with all your friends and neighbours and let us know what you think in the comments!This week's podcast is proudly sponsored by INOV8.

Lucy Gossage has been around on the long distance triathlon scene for a long time, and she's instantly recognisable with her blue Erdinger kit and infectious smile. If you don't know Lucy, she has 14 Ironman victories to her name including IMUK, IM Wales, IM Lanzarote and Patagonman (basically all the toughest ones). In 2019 she stepped back from IM racing to focus more on her work as an Oncologist in Nottingham. You'll get a sense of how Lucy likes to challenge herself with that race resume, and today's conversation is all about another of those challenges. And they don't really come much bigger than The Winter Spine Challenge - 268 miles on the Pennine Way in the depths of winter. It's a non-stop event requiring participants to be self sufficient. The temperature barely gets above 0ºC, with knee deep snow and blizzards at times, and as if that's not enough the sleep deprivation can literally be a nightmare. We chat about: Weekly power strength yoga - "I just knew that I had to get as strong as I could" The benefits of commuting to work and keeping it fun Walking poles in ultra racing - "As soon as I got them, I was like, oh my god, these are a game changer." Sleep walking - "The most terrifying discombobulating experience I've ever had." Shoe selection - "I went with Hoka Speedgoats, which many say is crazy for that terrain. But they were so comfortable." Sleep deprivation and cognitive function - "I could see the red lines on my Garmin where I'd gone off the course and I was like bloody hell I am actually sleepwalking." To find out more about Lucy please use these channels: Twitter @lucygoss Insta @lucygossage Link to topics we covered in the show NHS Blog posts Lucy and I talked for quite a bit at the start about the NHS and she mentioned some blog posts she had written. You can find those HERE. Lucy's favourite book Shantaram:A Novel - by Gregory Roberts “It's a long book but an incredible read."

Lucy Gossage, Nikki Bartlett and Bex Milnes share wonderful insight into Lucy's recent remarkable Montane Spine Race achievement which she conquered in January of this year during one for the worst periods of weather the UK got this winter. Professional triathlete Nikki and her partner Bex Milnes supported Lucy's endeavours with Bex capturing images and updates of Lucy on the Pennine Way, meanwhile, Nikki turned the images and information received into an exciting socials storybook of tales from inside the race, capturing the imagination and hearts of everyone eager to follow Lucy's progress as she embarked and conquered one of the toughest foot races in the world. Stretching 268 miles or 431km from Edale in Derbyshire, England to the village of Kirk Yetholm on the Scottish Border on the Pennine Way, if you don't know where that is, then get out your map and check it out. Lucy gives us a glimpse of just what her preparation for an endeavour of this nature entailed as well as great insight into how her race unfolded, although we gloss over some of the intricate and technical aspects of the race, we still get to understand the remarkable journey undertaken by the 14 time IRONMAN Champion as she ventures beyond her comfort zone into uncharted mental and physical territory, pushing her limits to the brink to discover her true capabilities. In this episode, Bex and Nikki share their own version of Lucy's journey with some snippets of what it was like for them to follow the race as they closely and cautiously tracked her progress to the finishline. As the race proceeded on the Pennine Way for Lucy, another story was unfolding behind the scenes which, when unravelled, would have heartbreaking consequences for Lucy. Resilient and robust as she is, she faced the situation head on and began picking up the broken pieces one bit at a time as she concurrently recovered from what she had put her body and mind through to reach the finishline of the Spine Race. As you can expect, bringing the four of us together for a chat, resulted in lots of high energy, fun and laughter, the power of sport and friendship between these three incredible women as they share their personal stories of this epic adventure will certainly put a smile on your face and I have no doubt inspire you to step well outside your comfort zone!

Un año más, la Montane Spine Race reunió todos los ingredientes que la convierten en el ultratrail invernal más brutal de Europa. La lluvia, el frío, el hielo y la nieve fueron compañeros inseparables de los participantes durante las 260 millas del Pennine Way. La edición de este 2024 nos dejó para el recuerdo las victorias de Claire Bannwarth y Jack Scott y la participación de tres españoles: José Samaniego, Eugeni Rosselló y Esteban Díaz. Este último besó la pared del Old Border después de 100 hotas y 17 minutos de carrera. Una expriencia que recuerda en Sweet Home Alabama con los comentarios de Antonio Codina.
Delighted to chat to the incredible Graeme Brouder who was the last Brit to cross the line in the 2023 Spine Race, 268 miles along the Pennine Way from Edale to Kirk Yetholm, which takes place in the depths of winter every January. What makes Graeme tick? What training did he do and how did he stay mentally strong enough never to give up? Let's find out in this live chat! Originally on YouTube here https://youtube.com/live/LqSEmS_tO-UThis live broadcast / podcast is sponsored by Naak nutrition and I'll be sharing a little taste test with you at the start of the show. Use code WILDGINGERRUNNING for 15% off https://uk.naak.com/Why create last & proud of it?I've reached a stage where I am (in a nice way) non-plussed about elite athletes winning races and setting records. I used to be in awe of these lofty achievements, but I have a lot more in common with and even more awe for the people in the middle of the pack, the back of the pack, and the person who comes LAST OF ALL. So this new series for 2024 celebrates the ‘normal' ultra runners who come last in some of the UK's most famous races and are quite rightly, very proud of their amazing achievement. Just like us, these unsung heroes have busy stressful lives filled with jobs, kids/pets/relatives, mental and/or physical health issues and injuries. Their training and racing has great highs and terrible lows, but they keep on running/jogging/walking/crawling to that finish line. What did it take? What was their training like? How did the race pan out? How did they beat those cut offs against all odds? And what hard-won golden nuggets of advice can they give to us ‘normal' ultra runners about this race in particular, ultra running and life in general. I hope you like this series and feel inspired by it, just like I do.My book, The Ultimate Trail Running Handbook https://amzn.to/3jgKvTyPlease like and subscribe here on YouTube https://linktr.ee/ClaireWGRFollow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wildgingerrunning/Support me on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/WildGingerRunningMeet me at Nene Valley trail races https://nenevalleyraces.wordpress.com/Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWEw4ys-SlXU1pCp6oyMemQ/join Fancy a show without ads?

These are four essentials to help you take care of you so youcan stay play the long game. Leadership isn't a sprint. I'm not sure it's a marathon wither –maybe more like my recent Pennine Way through hike of 270 miles, but... longer. The thing is,you can't stay in the game if you're injured – whether that's physically, emotionally, orspiritually. Today's podcast will help prevent those injuries and keep you in top form so you cancontinue supporting and growing others for years to come.
Honored to chat with John Kelly in this episode. He has completed the Barkley Marathons TWICE and has a list of multi-day FKT (Fastest Known Time) records. We chat about how weather plays a big part in his endeavors and the gear planning for events when the forecast becomes less certain for multi-day mountainous challenges. John's big sponsors are La Sportiva and Ultimate Direction. His website & blog is randomforestrunner.com with amazing write-ups to his races and events, along with links to his social media accounts. Episode photo taken by Stacey Holloway, while John tackled the Grand Rounds.
Welcome to episode 60 of the Eat for Endurance podcast! My guest today is John Kelly - an elite ultrarunner, triathlete, father of four, and an engineer. John is perhaps best known as one of the few finishers of the infamous Barkley Marathons. In 2017, he was the fifteenth and, until today (March 16th), the most recent finisher in the race's history. It just so happens that the 2023 Barkley Marathons occurred this week, culminating in three finishers tonight! John completed all five loops yet again, making him the third runner in history to finish the race more than once. And in case you're wondering, we recorded this interview on February 23rd, about three weeks before this year's race, and I swear that the timing of this episode being published immediately after is pure coincidence! But enough about the Barkley Marathons, as John's athletic accomplishments extend far beyond this race, of course. He has completed many Ironman events, including two finishes in the Kona Ironman World Championships, and he is a 2x Ironman Age Group Champion. John has run numerous road marathons, including a 2:26 last year at CIM. He's a Tennessee native but lived in the UK for awhile and during his time there, he won the Spine Race in 2020 - a brutal winter ultra marathon that follows the 268-mile Pennine Way. He also broke a 31 year old record on the Pennine Way, winning an award for the men's 2021 FKT of the year. He was the first to complete “The Grand Round” - a combination of the UK's 3 big fell running rounds, while biking between them - there's an awesome short film on this that I'll link to in the show notes. This past summer, he placed tenth at Hardrock. The list goes on. Oh and did I mention that he works and has four kids too?! So you know, he's not busy at all!We chat all things nutrition as we always do in these Athlete Nutrition Profiles, and I think you'll enjoy this one, especially if you're sad the recent Barkley Marathons coverage is over and you're craving some more content. Thanks John for sharing your nutrition story with us, and a huge congrats to you on your second Barkley finish! Now time for lots of rest and recovery (or as much as you can get with four kids...), and for some of those Little Debbie cakes you love so much. ;) Links & Resources:John's Website: https://www.randomforestrunner.com/Follow on InstagramA documentary on John's completion of "The Grand Round"Other Announcements:Please show your support by leaving a rating and/or review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcastsMusic Credit: Joseph McDadePhoto credit: Howie SternHave nutrition questions, a guest or topic request, or any other feedback?

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Good To-Go, we are joined by Chris Priest and Duncan Say, authors of "Forty years, sixteen days: Will two old friends walk the Pennine Way - again?" As the title implies, Chris and Duncan hiked this 268-mile trail in the UK twice, forty years apart. We learn all about this trail, including why the duo thinks it's the best long-distance trail in all of the UK, how it's changed over the years, the culture that surrounds the trail, some of the standout highlights along the trail, and considerations for those who choose to travel from abroad to hike it. We also get some fun, standout stories from these journeys and the book. Prepare to expand your trail bucket list. We wrap the show with our irrational fears, a triple crown of our most unpopular opinions, the top tents on the Appalachian Trail, a voicemail from an international listener about which cell carrier is best for the AT, and more.

The Spine Race is a 268-mile, non-stop ultramarathon taking in the entirety of the Pennine Way. The winter edition takes place in January, meaning competitors must battle snow, wind and sub-zero temperatures, as they make their way from Edale, Derbyshire, to Kirk Yeltholm, Scotland. Little wonder it's become known as “Britain's most brutal race”. Our guests this week are male winner Damian Hall and second-placed female Hannah Rickman. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
