Podcasts about running podcast

Four years ago, on March 13, 2022, The Back of the Pack Podcast released its very first episode. What started as a simple idea to talk about running, races, and the everyday runner has grown into something much bigger over time. Today we celebrate four years of the podcast and roughly 260 episodes along the way. In this special anniversary episode, we take a moment to look back at how the show began and where the journey has taken us. Along the way, we explore some fascinating statistics about the podcasting world and just how rare it is for a show to last this long. Many podcasts fade out after only a handful of episodes, making longevity in this space a real accomplishment. We break down the numbers behind the show and what it takes to keep a weekly podcast going year after year. We also look at how the podcasting industry itself has grown and evolved since 2022. Most importantly, we reflect on the incredible running community that has supported the show from the very beginning. From race recaps and interviews to group runs and listener stories, this podcast has always been about the people who make running special. This episode is part celebration, part reflection, and a sincere thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey. The Back of the Pack may not always be the fastest runners on the course, but four years later, this podcast is still out there running strong.

This week we have another jam packed Tea & Trails podcast. First up we catch up with Eddie & Gary and the spill the beans on another week of training. Is it more tears of fun times on the trails?The coaches then dive into the sensitive topic of running while grieving a loved one, before Eddie and Gary share some of the tips and tricks that help them juggle family, work, and training.And finally, you could be in with a chance of winning a waterproof jacket, thanks to our friends at Harrier Trail Running.Links to friends, partners, sponsors & discount codes - https://linktr.ee/teaandtrails?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=1c86b2f1-b04b-4dab-bd2f-dddf47358fa3HARRIER - Use code TEAS10 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/3RuP25zRUNDERWEAR - Use code TEATRAILS15 for 15% off your order.https://runderwear.avln.me/c/GPVNMgMfYfLPContent may contain affiliate links which help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.

This week, The Back of the Pack Podcast is finally back in studio as we unpack the full experience of the 2026 Tokyo Marathon and the unforgettable trip to Japan. From navigating Tokyo's massive train system and the marathon expo, to the friendship run, race morning chaos, strict cutoff pressure, crowded course conditions, and the emotional relief of crossing the finish line, we break down the entire adventure with honesty, humor, and plenty of hard-earned perspective. Beyond race day, we also share stories from the rest of the trip, including Kyoto, Hiroshima, Mount Fuji, sumo, knife-making, and the culture shock of life in one of the biggest cities on Earth. It is a full race review, travel recap, and post-marathon debrief all rolled into one, as we celebrate finally earning World Marathon Major star number five and turning the page toward what comes next.

This week we're welcoming back a familiar face, the brilliant Fiona Horsfield.Fresh off her incredible second‑place finish at the 2026 Winter Spine Race, Fiona joins us to unpack her 112‑hour epic journey up Britain's most brutal trail. Think horrendous weather, hallucinations, and an unwavering determination to just keep moving forward.And because she also won last year's Northern Traverse, we couldn't resist picking her brain for some hard‑earned wisdom ahead of this year's race.Links to friends, partners, sponsors & discount codes - https://linktr.ee/teaandtrails?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=1c86b2f1-b04b-4dab-bd2f-dddf47358fa3HARRIER - Use code TEAS10 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/3RuP25zRUNDERWEAR - Use code TEATRAILS15 for 15% off your order.https://runderwear.avln.me/c/GPVNMgMfYfLPContent may contain affiliate links which help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.

More Northern Traverse training, and Gary is starting to feel the strain. The trails are stunning enough to make the miles drift by, but the sheer volume—and the constant need to stay upright, are beginning to take their toll.Our coaches chip in with some wisdom on running when you're a new parent (spoiler: sleep is a luxury, snacks are a currency). Our Strava club members continue to be inspiring, and we chat about how to nail the taper before our A‑race.And finally, you could be in with a chance of winning a waterproof jacket courtesy of our friends at Harrier Trail Running.Links to friends, partners, sponsors & discount codes - https://linktr.ee/teaandtrails?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=1c86b2f1-b04b-4dab-bd2f-dddf47358fa3HARRIER - Use code TEAS10 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/3RuP25zRUNDERWEAR - Use code TEATRAILS15 for 15% off your order.https://runderwear.avln.me/c/GPVNMgMfYfLPContent may contain affiliate links which help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.

While Kyle is off in Tokyo chasing World Major dreams, guest host Lisa Watkins (The Behind the Bib Podcast out of Huntsville, Alabama) grabs the mic for a full review of the Every Woman's Marathon, a traveling marathon built to make runners feel seen, supported, and wildly welcomed, especially first-timers. Lisa breaks down what makes the event unique, from year-long communication and pop-up runs to an expo that's basically a runner-care theme park (Rabbit gear everywhere, free coffee, yoga, braiding, and “they thought of everything” amenities). Then she gets real about race day in Scottsdale: bus gridlock drama, a “net downhill” course that turned wet, concrete-heavy, and surprisingly hilly, a brutal late climb, rising temps into the 80s, and cramps that made miles 20+ a survival story. She also dishes on the finish-line layout (a little chaotic), the difference in crowd energy compared to Savannah, and why the afterparty absolutely shines with recovery stations, PT help, food, and a legit concert. Lisa wraps with what the race stands for, a generous 7:45 cutoff, the next destination ******** in February 2027, and a handful of race recs that deserve a spot on our calendars.

This week, while we're overseas, we're still showing up for the Kansas City running community with a spotlight episode on the Going the Distance 5K & 10K at Loose Park on Memorial Day (May 25), benefiting the Brain Injury Association of Kansas and Greater Kansas City. Heather Carbaugh shares what the organization does as a statewide resource hub for brain injury survivors and families, from advocacy and education to support groups and connecting people with services, emphasizing that brain injury is a lifelong journey and far more common than most of us realize. Retired KC Running Company race director Brad Ziegler explains why this event is a true KC classic, a reunion race with a uniquely great location, long history (39 years), and a volunteer-powered mission that deserves bigger attention. We also break down race-day basics (5K, two-loop 10K, one-mile option, kids run), how the proceeds stay local to support survivors, how to get involved as a volunteer, and a special listener discount code  for 15% off through St. Patrick's Day.

This week's guest is Antony “Twig” Rose, in 2025, Twig completed the Centurion 100‑mile Slam and the Centurion Winter Downs 100, stacking up an astonishing five 100‑mile races in a single year. He achieved all of it while living with Parkinson's disease.A dedicated runner who refuses to let his diagnosis set the boundaries of his life, Twig brings honesty, humour, and determination to every mile and why showing up matters more than ever.Web blog: https://puckfarkinsons.uk/ Fundraiser:  https://www.givewheel.com/fundraising/5606/100-mile-grand-slam-thats-4-x-100-miles/ Links to friends, partners, sponsors & discount codes - https://linktr.ee/teaandtrails?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=1c86b2f1-b04b-4dab-bd2f-dddf47358fa3HARRIER - Use code TEAS10 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/3RuP25zRUNDERWEAR - Use code TEATRAILS15 for 15% off your order.https://runderwear.avln.me/c/GPVNMgMfYfLPContent may contain affiliate links which help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.

In the final chapter of The Long Run: Aging and Athletes, we step back and reflect on what it truly means to keep running as the years go by. The finish lines may look the same, but the reasons we chase them evolve. Running stops being about proving something and starts becoming part of who we are. We talk about longevity, perspective, and the quiet pride that comes not from speed, but from simply continuing to show up. This episode is about honoring the miles behind us, embracing the uncertainty ahead, and recognizing that the real victory was never a personal record. It was the decision, over and over again, to keep going.

Another week closer to the 2026 Northern Traverse, and Eddie and Gary are deep in the trenches of training, some days fun times, some days sad times, all of it inching them forward. Listeners are in the thick of their own big‑race prep too, including one brave soul wondering whether you can smash a road marathon and then step up to an ultra. Winter bugs are everywhere as well, and everyone seems to be sniffling through their long runs. When should you ease off, and when is it fine to crack on? Eddie and Gary share what's worked for them.Thanks to Precision Fuel & Hydration for supporting our February competition. Head over to instagram for all the deets.

This week, we go all-in on the Tokyo Marathon with our final preview before wheels up. We dig into what makes Tokyo such a bucket-list race, from its place in marathon history to the major-event energy that makes it feel like more than just another 26.2. We also take a virtual tour of the course and talk through the landmarks, neighborhoods, and moments that make this race feel like a guided sprint through the heart of the city. Of course, we spend time on the topic that has so many runners sweating before they even reach the start line: the Tokyo cutoff mats. We break down why they feel so intimidating, what the timing really means, and how to think about them without spiraling into panic. We also get into the race etiquette and rules that make Tokyo unique, especially the cleanliness standards, aid station flow, and the small details that matter in a race this organized. Along the way, we share fun facts about both the marathon and Tokyo itself to help paint the full picture of what race week is really like. This episode is part travel guide, part race strategy session, and part reminder to stay calm and run smart. If Tokyo is on the calendar this year, this is the episode to hear before heading to the airport. Let's get ready to run one of the biggest and most unforgettable races in the world.

This week we catch up with The North Face athlete, Jon Albon, one of the most versatile and consistent endurance athletes on the planet. We look back on his huge 2025 season, dig into what he's building toward in 2026, and then take a deep dive into Gary's new best friend: The Albon App… or Ascend, as it's now known after the recent rebrand.Jon brings his trademark clarity & humility. Whether you're a mountain runner, an OCR die‑hard, or just someone who loves hearing from athletes who truly get it, this episode is packed with insight, laughs, and a few surprises!Thanks to Precision Fuel & Hydration for supporting our February competition.

As runners, we spend so much of our early years chasing the clock, measuring progress in minutes and seconds, always believing the next personal best is right around the corner. But eventually, something changes. In this episode, we explore what happens when success is no longer defined by speed, and how our relationship with running evolves as we grow older. We talk about the emotional shift that comes when personal records become less frequent, and how we begin to discover new meaning in consistency, resilience, and simply showing up. Running becomes less about proving something and more about preserving something. We reflect on how experience reshapes our goals, how gratitude replaces pressure, and how the miles begin to represent something deeper than performance. Because at some point, the finish line stops being about how fast we arrive, and starts being about the fact that we're still running toward it at all.

This week on the Tea & Trails Podcast, the team dive into their weekly highs and lows as the Northern Traverse edges ever closer. Our coaching corner features some sage guidance for a listener gearing up for the 2026 Lakeland 100, and Eddie and Gary open up about what really helps them stay consistent and keep showing up day after day.We also celebrate the miles our Strava Club members have been stacking up, and, as always, we've got a brilliant listener Tales from the Trails to round things off.Thanks to Precision Fuel & Hydration for supporting our February competition.

Today's guest is in the midst of an extraordinary adventure: the Run Around Great Britain challenge, a human‑powered loop of the entire coastline. It's part endurance feat and part love letter to the country. We catch up with Megan Boxall 117 days into her journey. She talks us through the mishaps, the coastlines, the kindness of strangers, and the moments that make big adventures feel deeply human. She's well over halfway now, but still so much to explore.Pic Credit - Ross Taylorhttps://www.justgiving.com/page/megan-boxall-run-britain?newPage=trueThanks to Precision Fuel & Hydration for supporting our February competition.

This week, we start with a quick trip into the wilderness where common sense goes to die: the Barkley Marathons went down again, and the course reminded everyone who's boss. Then we bring it back home for a race review of the Sweetheart Run 10K in Overland Park, Kansas, complete with the moments that felt smooth, the parts that bit back, and what the day taught us going forward. From there, we head straight into the pre-Tokyo nerves that a lot of us are feeling right now. If you've heard whispers about Tokyo's cutoff mats and thought, “Wait… cutoffs along the course?” we break it all down in plain English. We talk through why Tokyo's timing system feels different, how starting later can change the math, and what matters most when the clock is doing the chasing. We also share the mindset shift that turns the mats from scary to manageable, especially for back-of-the-pack runners who want to finish strong and stay calm. No panic, no doom, just a clear plan and a little confidence. If Tokyo is on the calendar or if we've ever worried about being “too close” to a cutoff, this episode is for us. Lace up, settle in, and let's run the numbers without letting them run us.

Do you believe you'll never be a runner? This episode might change your mind.In this episode of the Health by Haven Podcast, we sit down with HxH coaching client Samantha Berven to pull back the curtain on her incredible running transformation.

This week, we move deeper into our Running & Aging series by getting practical about what training actually needs to look like as we get older. As runners in our mid-40s and beyond, we can't rely on brute force or outdated plans anymore, but that doesn't mean we're slowing down or giving anything up. We break down what physically changes as we age, the most common mistakes masters runners make, and how to train smarter through better structure, strength work, recovery, and intentional intensity. From building weekly schedules that respect recovery to understanding why strength training and sleep are no longer optional, this episode is all about keeping us healthy, consistent, and running strong for years to come. This isn't about chasing who we used to be—it's about building the best version of who we are now.

This week on the Tea & Trails podcast, Gary goes rogue and wanders off his training plan, while Eddie spills the beans on the Trailspire Ultra 6‑Hour endurance event. The coaches step in to help a listener battling a torn meniscus knee injury, and we share the simple routines that helped us bounce back quickly after our own recent races. Tales from the Trails and Strava continue to deliver the inspiration we all need, and we round things off with a Rhino‑themed Heavy Flex!Thanks to Precision Fuel & Hydration for supporting our February competition.

Las carreras pedestres en Puerto Rico están llenándose a capacidad, y eso está creando un reto real en la salida: se mezclan corredores élite, joggers y caminantes, provocando tapones, frenazos y situaciones de seguridad. En este episodio de Corriendo sobre 50 Podcast hablamos claro sobre la idea de implementar corrales por ritmos (o salidas por olas): qué son, cuáles son sus beneficios (orden, seguridad, mejor experiencia y competencia más justa) y sus retos (costo, espacio, educación del corredor y fiscalización). Cerramos con recomendaciones prácticas para organizadores y participantes para que el running en PR siga creciendo… pero con más respeto y organización.

This week we kick things off underground with a full recap of the Groundhog Run at Subtropolis, one of the most unique races around and one that has us literally running through caves. We talk about the good, the weird, and the wildly frustrating, especially the annual bus and parking chaos that leaves runners standing in the cold longer than we'd like. Once inside, though, the event shines with a warm cave atmosphere, great volunteers, and a community vibe that keeps us coming back year after year. We break down the Tunnel to Tunnel Challenge, tackling both the 5K and 10K, navigating crowded starts, overdressing for the cold, and trying to stay loose while waiting nearly two hours between races. It turns into a lesson in patience as muscles tighten, sweat cools, and we're reminded how tricky winter racing can be. Along the way we celebrate small wins, from improved 10K pacing to cheering on friends hitting big milestones like their first 10K finish. We also share why we skipped the Kickoff 5K after a tough 16 mile long run and a grumpy knee, choosing smart training over stubborn miles as Tokyo gets closer. With taper season officially here, the focus shifts from racing everything to protecting the body and making it to the starting line healthy. It's a mix of cave miles, cold mornings, medal hauls, and honest talk about listening to your body. As always, we're just figuring it out together, one step at a time on the road to Tokyo.

In this episode, we sit down with HOKA athlete Gemma Hillier‑Moses, fresh off her dominant win at the 2026 Arc of Attrition 50 by UTMB, a performance built on speed, strength, and grit across those wild, muddy coastal trails.Gemma's energy is infectious! This conversation is full of honesty, humour, and proper inspiration as she opens up about the highs and lows of her journey so far, what she's learned along the way, and what's brewing for the rest of 2026 and beyond.Thanks to Precision Fuel & Hydration for supporting our February competition.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we kick off a brand new February series focused on what it really means to keep running as the years add up and the miles add character. As more of us find ourselves stepping into the Masters category, we explore how aging changes our training, recovery, and mindset, and why getting older doesn't mean slowing down but getting smarter. From learning to respect rest days to embracing strength work, mobility, and experience-earned wisdom, we talk about how we adapt, evolve, and continue chasing goals without chasing our younger selves. Because this stage of running isn't about proving anything, it's about longevity, community, and still showing up at the start line together. We may have a few more creaks and a slightly longer warmup, but we're still here, still moving forward, and still very much in the race.

What a crammed week it's been! The National Running Show was an absolute blast, and it was brilliant meeting so many listeners in person. Huge kudos to the Altra 13 Valleys team for pulling it all together.Meanwhile, Gary had his own bit of drama to deal with as he toed the line at the Hardmoors Saltburn Trails Marathon. Could he outrun his 2014 self, and did he manage to bag that V50 win?Our coaches are on hand with some much‑needed footwear wisdom, and we share our top tip for taking on a big scary goal without letting it swallow you whole.And of course, another sensational week over on Strava, and as always, we're celebrating your tales from the trails.Thanks to Precision Fuel & Hydration for supporting our February competition.

Jade Barrett has just pulled off something no one else has ever managed, completing the entire Centurion Running calendar in a single year. Every. Single. Event. And because that apparently wasn't quite enough, she also squeezed in the Arc of Attrition for good measure! In our chat, we dive into the highs, the lows, the moments that nearly broke her, and the ones that reminded her exactly why she does this. And with her 2026 already looking absolutely packed, you'll be seeing her on the start lines of both the Northern Traverse and the Lakeland 100.Thanks to Fenix Light UK, Voom & Altra 13 Valleys for supporting our January competitions.

We welcome back Julie Gilmor to preview Run Liberty's 10th anniversary race day on March 28, 2026—now featuring an all-new 10K. We dig into how the 10K starts with the half at 8 a.m., swings through Seaport, and finishes with the 5K, giving runners fresh scenery without heavy new infrastructure. We clear up the name-and-logo shuffle: the race is now “Run Liberty,” proceeds benefit the Liberty Live Well Foundation, and Liberty Hospital's new partnership with The University of Kansas Health System strengthens local care. We talk presenting sponsor Give Me Liberty, the America 250 tie-in, and why this nonprofit race keeps 100% of proceeds in the community. Expo fans rejoice: we're staying at William Jewell, Omni Apparel returns with merch (including an inaugural 10K shirt), and those beloved Liberty gloves live on. We cover medals (6-inch half, 5-inch 10K, 4-inch 5K), generous cutoffs around 16-minute miles, and safety upgrades on the frontage road. Big River Race Management joins the team this year, bringing major-league timing and logistics. We also plug our March 12 Chasing Rabbits Run Club x BOTP four-year party where Run Liberty will be on site with swag and a few race entry giveaways. And yes, we celebrate Fret Row's eternal lukewarm beer stop and the on-course pass by the TreeHouse, a visible reminder of where dollars go. Hills included, community amplified—register, show up, and we'll see you at the finish.

We sit down with Randy Taylor—runner, coach, and creator of Team 816 Run Club—for our ten-question Runner Stories spotlight. Randy traces his pivot from the wrestling mat to the roads and trails, and how that competitive grit shaped a coaching style built on consistency, community, and smart stress. He opens up about chasing speed later in life, including a 4:57 mile at age 39 and a 2:40 marathon at Chicago, and how those lessons translate for everyday runners. We dig into the ultra toolbox too: fueling, pacing, and mental resets from a 14:29 hundred at Tunnel Hill and a scorching 3:35 50K on gravel. Randy shares what he looks for when writing plans, the red flags he shuts down early, and the simple cues he gives athletes on workout days vs. easy days. We talk Team 816's origin story, why group culture beats lone-wolf heroics, and how to welcome first-timers without scaring them off. Most of all, this is a conversation about building durable joy in the sport, whether you're gunning for a PR or finishing with friends.

This week the hosts spill the beans on their epic Northern Traverse recces. From the Lakeland mountains to the Dales, the Moors, and the sea, the Northern Traverse really does have it all. We also break down how we set our recces up for success, so you can get the most out of yours.If our tales of fun on the trails get your juices flowing, don't forget that Patreons receive 10% off the Northern Traverse and all Ourea Events races.And the big question keeps coming up, how do you train for the hills when you don't actually live near any hills?

We're heading to Jackson, Mississippi for a deep dive on Run the Rainbow, the growing 50K/Marathon/Half/10K/5K set for Saturday, March 21, 2026. Joining us are the race director, the assistant race director, and the CEO of the state's only children's hospital, which this event proudly supports. They walk us through a course that mixes historic neighborhoods, a scenic museum trail, and plenty of honest hills, complete with live bands, themed aid stations about every two miles, and cheers as you pass the hospital itself. You'll hear how the “Memory Mile” near the finish turns grit into goosebumps, why generous cutoffs and an early start make this event back-of-the-pack friendly, and how no finisher is ever short-changed at the line. We talk post-race fun too: a true Southern spread, coffee, and cookies shaped like Mississippi, with a finish-line party that lasts until the last runner celebrates. The expo brings local shops, other races, and an expert panel on training and fueling. Swag hounds, rejoice: big kid-designed medals, quarter-zips for longer distances, and finisher towels are on deck. From community volunteers to unique prizes (yes, even tires for the champs), it's an event built by runners who care about runners. If you're looking for a spring race with heart, hills, and hospitality, this episode is your invitation to Run the Rainbow.

Thanks for the intro Jed!In this episode, we are joined by the brilliant Tonya Olson, one of the leading experts behind Fixing Your Feet, the go‑to guide for anyone who's ever limped through the last miles of a race wondering where it all went wrong.Tonya has spent years helping athletes understand the art and science of foot care: from blister prevention and taping techniques to shoe choices and the tiny mistakes that turn into big problems on race day.If you've ever finished a long run with hot spots, mystery aches, or feet that look like they've been through a small war, this conversation is going to change your running life.Tonya's Linktree - https://linktr.ee/tonyakolsondpt?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=2053ef99-5813-4d4e-b565-0d93f16c8639Thanks to Fenix Light UK, Voom & Altra 13 Valleys for supporting our January competitions.

We flipped the script this week on Second Wind: with our guest delayed, Kyle sat in the hot seat and answered our ten signature questions himself. From a decade-plus of start lines and almost 370 finish-line stories, he digs into the run that changed him, the day that nearly broke him, and why he still laces up when motivation goes missing. You'll hear about the people who shaped his journey, the weird and wonderful moments only runners collect, and what “setback and comeback” looks like from the back of the pack. Kyle talks community, identity, and the quiet wins that matter more than PRs. There's practical advice for newer runners and a candid look at how the sport evolves alongside life. Think of it as a fireside chat with your favorite race buddy—equal parts honesty, humor, and heart. After you listen, hit us with your own answers to the Big Ten and we'll share a few on next week's show!

This week on the Tea & Trails Podcast, Eddie and Gary share the tips and tricks that keep them going when training and racing get tough. There's a Lakeland 100–themed Brew With the Coaches question, plus an update on how their own training is shaping up as the Northern Traverse draws closer. Spoiler: it features a severed head, exploding bridges, a visit to Greg's Hut, and an unreasonable number of long runs.Thanks to Fenix Light UK, Voom & Altra 13 Valleys for supporting our January competitions.

We're back this week with a full breakdown of the Battle of the Bean 5K in Kansas City, Missouri, a race that reminded us winter running doesn't mess around. From the pre-race jitters to frozen fingers at the start line, we recap what it was like to toe the line with a real feel of –1°F. But the race itself is only part of the story. The rest of the episode dives deep into what running in extreme cold actually does to the body. We talk about how sub-zero temperatures affect muscles, joints, breathing, circulation, and overall performance. We explore why pace feels harder than effort suggests, why warming up is such a challenge, and why post-race recovery can be just as tricky as the run itself. We also touch on the mental side of running in brutal conditions and how cold weather forces runners to adjust expectations. This episode isn't about chasing PRs. It's about resilience, preparation, and knowing when showing up is the victory. If you've ever questioned whether a run was worth it once you stepped outside, this one's for you.

Anthony's running journey began back in 2007 while he was working in IT. Unhappy with his weight, he laced up for a change, and just two months later he was on the start line of his first 10K. By 2009 he'd run his first marathon, and by 2011 he was fully immersed in the world of ultrarunning.Years of racing and experimenting with his own fuelling strategies sparked a deeper interest in sports nutrition. Anthony went on to earn an Advanced Diploma in Nutrition and Weight Management, followed by a Nutrition Specialist Diploma. Combining his personal transformation with his growing expertise, he founded XMiles, a brand dedicated to helping endurance athletes fuel smarter and perform at their best.Thanks Harrier Trail Running for sponsoring this weeks interview.Thanks to Fenix Light UK, Voom & Altra 13 Valleys for supporting our January competitions.
