Ten years ago, Gary popped his 100‑mile cherry on the Cleveland Way. Countless miles have been covered between then and now, but after a bit of refocusing found himself back on a start line, this time for the Hardmoors 200.Starting in Hull, the route winds through wooded slopes, over rolling hills, and down into deep valleys, before eventually climbing onto the northern escarpment and dropping toward the final stretch of the Wolds Way. At Filey you join the stunning 110‑mile Cleveland Way National Trail.Over the course of the weekend, Gary's race evolved from simply getting the job done to suddenly finding himself in pole position… and then hanging on for dear life as the pack closed in.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 TEA15 for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gbASCEND APP - Use code TeaandTrails30 to receive 30% off a monthly subscription.https://ascendtrailapp.avln.me/c/MOwNWISPDOwiContent may contain affiliate links which help support and grow this channel at no extra 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/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

Big goals are heavy. In this Midweek Motivation episode, David Theriot shares what training for the Bigfoot 200 is really feeling like about 75 days out from race day. The miles are increasing, life is still moving fast, and the challenge is becoming more than just physical. This episode is an honest look at balancing ultramarathon training with work, family, coaching, recovery, faith, and everyday responsibilities. David talks about squeezing runs into crowded schedules, getting miles in before sunrise during softball tournaments, and learning that discipline often matters more than motivation. If you've ever felt overwhelmed chasing a big goal, this episode will remind you that growth often happens when life is heavy and you choose not to put the goal down. Topics include: Bigfoot 200 training Discipline vs motivation Balancing life and running Mental toughness Consistency and sacrifice Ultramarathon mindset Why big goals carry weight Key quote from the episode:“Sometimes pursuing a goal means doing inconvenient things in inconvenient places at inconvenient times.” Thanks for listening to the Run the Riot Podcast.If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend and leave a review to help more runners find the show.

This week, Gary is back from a very successful Hardmoors 200. It's not our full recap, but he shares some thoughts and takeaways from the whole 200 mile experience, and it's fair to say his emotions are easily triggered right now. Eddie is still on the injury bench, which is rough. Small gains, but sad times for our Eddie.The coaches tackle a listener question from someone who wants to become a coach, and we chat through what recovery can look like after a big race.This bumper episode also has Birthday Shout‑outs, Heavy Flexes, Tales from the Trails, and another incredible Strava Club.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 TEA15 for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gbASCEND APP - Use code TeaandTrails30 to receive 30% off a monthly subscription.https://ascendtrailapp.avln.me/c/MOwNWISPDOwiContent may contain affiliate links which help support and grow this channel at no extra 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/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

From Running His is First 10K at 48 To Doing a 72-Mile Ultramarathon At 61, An Endurance Athlete Shows What Is Possible As We AgeWhile in his mid-life, Jeffrey was deep into a successful business career and helping to raise four children. He decided to spend more time on his health. He lost weight and trained for his first 10K at the age of 48.It turns out this wasn't a passing phase or just a hobby. He would go on to run marathons and then enter Ironman and ultramarathon competitions. He reflects back on his journey and encourages others who are approaching or are already in mid-life to take ownership of their health in an inspiring, award-winning book, Racing Against Time: On Ironman, Ultramarathons, and the Quest for Transformation in Mid-Life. “What began as a simple challenge to run a single 10K race turned into an extraordinary journey of self-discovery and transformation,” says Weiss. “Within a decade, I pushed way beyond my perceived limits to become an accomplished ultramarathoner and Ironman, showing what can happen when we refuse to let age be a barrier to the things that matter most to us.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

We're incredibly lucky this week to share the mics with a true legend of our sport. Kim Collison has taken on, and completed, some of the UK's roughest, toughest challenges. And it's not all about going long either. He's just as happy toeing the line at a local fell race.Kim joins us to talk about his recent Lakes, Meres & Waters record‑breaking run, but the conversation wanders beautifully through all sorts of topics, nutrition, training, how he picks his challenges and even his journey with cholesterol medication. Kim's not someone who seeks the limelight, so it felt like a real treat, for us and for you listening, that he said yes to our persistent DMs.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=TEAASCEND APP - Use code TeaandTrails30 to receive 30% off a monthly subscription.https://ascendtrailapp.avln.me/c/MOwNWISPDOwiContent may contain affiliate links which help support and grow this channel at no extra 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/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

Send us Fan MailToday's guest is one of the earliest members of David's Leadville Ten Warriors group that all were overcoming their addictions and with David's guidance gleaned from lessons he learned in his own life, battled back against those addictions and trained to run races like the Leadville Heavy Half and Marathon. Josh Lee completed the Heavy Half in 2019, but he had to hit rock bottom before making the definitive changes he needed to put his life on the right course. Josh was a high school wrestler, and as you may know, their routine before every meet was to starve and sweat to lose pounds, and then following the weigh-in gorge out eating. This yo-yo effect created bad habits that led to him gradually putting on more and more weight. From 200 pounds in 2017, Josh ballooned to 435 pounds in 2023. At least that's what he knew of. It might have been more. Josh works as a funeral director, which meant wearing suits to work. He and his young son had a routine where the boy put on Josh's socks because he couldn't reach down himself to do this seemingly simple task. A comment by his son triggered a response that made him determined to upend his food addict life. So he changed his diet and get this, Josh dropped 180 pounds over the ensuing 72 weeks. Nothing fancy.  No GLP-1 drugs, no bariatric surgery. And he began running. A lot. Nine months in, he ran his first 50K. A year after that, he finished 7th in a 12-hour race, completing 53 miles. This past October, he finished the Hennepin 100-miler in 21:51, which is a very, very, impressive time. Earlier this month, Josh entered his first backyard ultra and placed second, completing 112.5 miles. But best for Josh is he is the dad and husband he always wished he could be when he weighed literally three times what I weigh. Plus he's a great guy. I think you'll be very inspired by this truly amazing story.Josh LeeInstagram @leemortuaryBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman Newsletter!https://mailchi.mp/dab62cfc01f8/newsletter-signupSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8Register for the American Heroes Run: https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=133138Ride to End ALZ Coloradowww.alz.org/rideco 

#229 - He was face down in the ocean, paralyzed, and running out of time. Patrick Yalon went out for a routine surf at San Francisco's Ocean Beach and never came back the same person and he's honest about how close he came to not coming back at all.We talk through the full arc: the low-tide wipeout that breaks his neck, the foggy scramble that ends with his friend finding him blue in the water, and the CPR that brings him back. From there it's ICU uncertainty, brutal nerve pain, and a nine-and-a-half-hour spinal fusion from C3 to C5 with titanium hardware. Patrick doesn't skip the dark parts: identity loss, depression, and the exhausting question of whether his body will ever work the way it used to.Then the story pivots from survival to purpose. Patrick chooses a wildly specific goal for spinal cord injury recovery and resilience: Moab 240, one of the toughest ultramarathons in the world. He lines up just months after the accident, grinds out 144 miles in 2024, then travels to Thailand to keep healing through daily Muay Thai training, time in the mountains, and a search for meaning and faith. He also shares why helping others with similar accidents matters so much, and how finishing Moab 240 in 2025 through storms, mud, lightning, and sleep deprivation becomes a shared victory with the friend who saved his life.Patrick is writing a memoir called Still Here and continues raising money and awareness for people impacted by spinal cord injuries.

It's finally here. The training is done, the excuses are gone, and Gary, along with a whole crew of wonderfully stubborn athletes, is about to set off on an adventure that will push every limit they've got. There'll be moments of doubt, a few questionable life choices, and probably more than one internal conversation about retiring from running altogether.But there will also be magic. A full weekend of grit, laughter, memories, and people proving, yet again, that what seems impossible is absolutely within reach.Click to TrackHARRIER - 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=TEAASCEND APP - Use code TeaandTrails30 to receive 30% off a monthly subscription.https://ascendtrailapp.avln.me/c/MOwNWISPDOwiContent may contain affiliate links which help support and grow this channel at no extra 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/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

Wayne Waldron signed up to his first ever marathon on a whim a few years ago. He finished the race in under three hours. A time that many runners couldn't achieve with months of training behind them, never mind with one weeks notice like Wayne had. And he did it all in a pair of Nike Air Max. Since that first race, Wayne has gone on to become one of the country's best Ultramarathon runners, getting a sub 3 hours 50 km with just seconds to spare. He talked about how he doesn't always agree with Strava and posting every run and explained why you should be able to sing while you're running and how important it is to follow a running plan. And look, if he can coach Terence back to running after literal brain surgery, we know his advice is worth listening to.This episode was sponsored by Rightstyle Furniture - RIGHT PRICE, RIGHT STYLE, RIGHT NOW.

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to Dr Matt Nagra, a naturopathic doctor and researcher known for his evidence-based perspective on nutrition, with a particular focus on plant-based diets and chronic disease.In this episode, the conversation tackles one of the most debated topics in nutrition right now: protein. Matt helps unpack why protein has become such a focal point, how to interpret the current evidence, and what outcomes actually matter when we're talking about intake and health. They explore the long-standing protein RDA and what it was designed to represent.The discussion then moves into protein quality, addressing common claims around plant versus animal protein, and why mechanistic research doesn't always align with long-term health outcomes. Matt also provides important context around dietary patterns and chronic disease risk, helping to separate the role of protein itself from the broader way people eat.They finish with a dive into choline, covering its role in the body, how it interacts with other nutrients like folate and betaine, and what this means for people following predominantly plant-based diets.It's a thoughtful, nuanced conversation that cuts through the noise and brings clarity to some of the biggest questions in modern nutrition.Dr Matt Nagra is a naturopathic doctor who graduated from the Boucher Institute after completing a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology at the University of Victoria. He holds additional board certifications in prescriptive authority, immunisations, advanced injection therapies, intravenous therapies, and acupuncture. Using an evidence-based approach, he creates individualised treatment protocols tailored to each patient's health goals and lifestyle.He has a particular passion for plant-based and vegan nutrition, physical medicine, and chronic disease treatment. With additional training in nutrition, he holds a Plant-Based Nutrition Certification from Cornell University and the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies, where he has also authored multiple articles.

In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki explores the concept of metabolic memory—a powerful and often overlooked driver of long-term health. Drawing on landmark studies like DCCT and UKPDS, she explains how periods of poor metabolic health can leave a lasting imprint, continuing to influence disease risk even after markers like blood glucose are brought back under control. But it's not all bad news. Mikki also unpacks the flip side: how positive adaptations from training, nutrition, and metabolic challenges can create a beneficial “memory” that helps the body rebound faster and perform better over time. From epigenetics to mitochondrial function, this episode highlights why timing matters and why early intervention—and consistency—can shape your metabolic future. Highlights: What metabolic memory is and where the concept originated  The “legacy effect” in diabetes research and why early control matters  Cellular mechanisms: epigenetics, oxidative stress, and AGEs  The positive side: training, ketosis, and metabolic flexibility  Why your past habits—good or bad—continue to influence your health Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

Die Sonne hängt tief am Rand der Wüste Gobi. Der Boden unter Dion Leonards Füßen verändert sich ständig. Sand, der plötzlich weich nachgibt; harte, scharfkantige Steinfelder; salzige Krusten, die unter Druck brechen. Dion ist ein Ultramarathonläufer, 250 Kilometer durch die zentralasiatische Wüste. Dion ist fest entschlossen, das Rennen zu gewinnen. Am Abend des ersten Tages kratzt Dion gerade den letzten Rest seiner Ration zusammen, da erblickt er etwas Ungewöhnliches. Ein kleiner Schatten huscht zwischen den erschöpfen Leuten, die neben Dion am Feuer sitzen, umher. Dion schaut genauer hin. Es ist kein Schatten. Es ist ein Hund! Gerade einmal vielleicht dreißig Zentimetern groß. Mit sandfarbenem Fell, großen dunklen Augen und einem kleinen Schnauzer. Der kleine Hund stellt sich auf die Hinterbeine und bettelt um Essen. Wer bitte, fragt sich Dion, dachte, es sei eine gute Idee, einen Hund mit hierherzubringen? Dion weiß in diesem Moment noch nicht, was er selbst alles für diesen Hund einmal auf sich nehmen wird.

This week on the Tea & Trails podcast, Gary squeezed in a Bob Graham support and a race. Not exactly the textbook taper, but he had such a cracking weekend and wouldn't change a thing. And unbelievably, after all those months of graft, the Hardmoors 200 is now just one week away.Meanwhile, Eddie is on the injury bench with a herniated disc flare‑up. Grim timing as she gears up for the Spine, and we're all crossing fingers and toes it doesn't keep her off the trails for long.The coaches dig into a great listener question about bonking late in The Lap Ultra, what went wrong, what to learn, and how to avoid that death‑march shuffle next time.And finally, Eddie and Gary chew the fat about an absolutely wild Cocodona 250, including a sensational run from Precision Fuel & Hydration athlete Rachel Entrekin.

Don walks through the historical context behind early guidelines, including where things may have gone off track, particularly around the treatment of fat, cholesterol, and protein-rich foods.From there, the discussion moves into the science. Don outlines the limitations of relying heavily on observational nutrition research and contrasts this with findings from controlled trials, particularly in relation to protein requirements and metabolic health. He explains why he recommended a shift to the new protein targets to better support muscle, satiety, and overall health.Dr. Donald Layman is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Layman has been a leader in research about protein, nutrition for athletic performance, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular health. Dr. Layman has over 100 peer-reviewed publications. He has received numerous awards for his research from the American Society for Nutrition and the National Institutes for Health and for his nutrition teaching. Dr. Layman currently serves as Associate Editor of the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior and on the editorial boards of Nutrition & Metabolism, and Nutrition Research and Practice. Dr. Layman has an extensive consulting background including work with NASA, the Shriners Children's Hospital, the US Air Force plus numerous food companies and organizations including Kraft Foods, Nestlé, Agropur and the National Dairy Council.

In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki breaks down one of the most persistent nutrition debates: are high-protein diets actually harmful? Drawing on a recent perspective paper published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, she unpacks common claims around kidney damage, bone loss, diabetes risk, and reduced longevity. Rather than dismissing concerns outright, Mikki walks through what the research truly shows, highlighting key methodological flaws, the limits of observational data, and the importance of context. From overfeeding studies to real-world dietary patterns, this episode challenges headline-driven narratives and brings nuance back into the conversation. If you've ever questioned whether your protein intake is “too high,” this is a grounded, evidence-informed discussion to help you cut through the noise and make more confident decisions.Highlights: Why the “protein turns to fat” claim doesn't hold up in real-world studies  The truth about protein intake and kidney health in healthy individuals  How higher protein diets impact bone density and fracture risk  The nuance behind protein, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes  Why observational data often misleads protein-related health claims Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

Simone Blaser ist mit ihrem Partner 2008 nach West-Australien ausgewandert. Heute lebt sie mit ihrer Familie in Hamilton Hill, in der Nähe von Fremantle. Dort hat sie ihre grosse Leidenschaft, das «Frei-Schwimmen» entdeckt. Mittlerweile hat die 47-Jährige etliche Ultramarathon bestritten. Sonne, Freiheit, endlose Weiten und vor allem aber das Meer zogen Simone Blaser aus Pfaffhausen (ZH) vor 18 Jahren nach Australien. Dort fand sie ihre Leidenschaft fürs «Open Water Schwimmen»: «Im offenen Wasser fühle ich mich frei und sorgenlos, aufgehoben und zu Hause.» Inzwischen hat Simone Blaser mehrere Marathon Schwimmen absolviert. Als weltweit erste Person schwamm sie rund 55 Kilometer am Stück durch den Upper Ord River. Der Fluss ist kein typischer Badeort. Er ist wild, rau und in einer der abgelegensten Landschaften Australiens. Für ihre bahnbrechende Leistung wurde Simone Blaser mit den «Yudovin Award» ausgezeichnet. Trotz der Ehre, bleibt die 47-Jährige bescheiden: «Ich bin eine ganz normale Frau mit einem ausgefüllten Familien- und Berufsleben.» «Im Wasser schwimmen ist Meditation» Aus ihrer Leidenschaft fürs Schwimmen entstand ein eigenes Business. Simone Blaser bringt Gleichgesinnte an besondere Orte: «Wir schwimmen zusammen in Flüssen, Seen oder dem offenen Meer, tauschen Tipps aus, machen Yoga und geniessen die gemeinsame Zeit.» Unter dem Motto: «Dare to swim wild», wage es wild zu schwimmen!

In this conversation, they take a step back from the noise around supplements and dig into what actually matters when it comes to nutrient status.Rachel shares her perspective on how we assess whether people are truly well nourished, why intake doesn't always reflect what the body is using, and where common gaps can arise even in those eating a generally “good” diet. They explore the nuance of absorption, bioavailability, and individual requirements, along with the limitations of current guidelines and standard testing.The discussion also moves into practical territory, covering how to think about supplementation, the importance of nutrient forms and interactions, and what active individuals and those pursuing fat loss should keep in mind when it comes to optimising micronutrient status without overcomplicating the process.Rachel https://rachelarthur.com.au/rachel/Nutrient Prescriber course: https://rachelarthur.com.au/product/the-nutrient-prescribers-program-full-access-13hrs-video-notes/Rachel Arthur is a seasoned naturopath and registered nutritionist with a specialisation in integrative nutrition and diagnostics.

This week, Mikki breaks down one of the most common (and misunderstood) questions in fat loss and health: what should your body fat percentage actually be? Drawing on current research, she explains why body fat isn't just “dead weight” but an active endocrine organ that plays a critical role in metabolism, hormones, and overall health. Mikki unpacks the difference between subcutaneous and visceral fat, why where you store fat matters, and how risk increases at higher levels. She also explores the lack of a universal “ideal” number, highlighting how factors like age, sex, and ethnicity influence healthy ranges. Finally, she cuts through the noise on body composition measurements, from DEXA to BIA, and offers practical guidance on what to focus on instead of chasing a single number. Key Highlights: Why body fat is metabolically active and essential for health  The critical difference between subcutaneous and visceral fat  Evidence-based body fat ranges for men and women  Limitations of common measurement tools like BIA and DEXA  Why health is more than just a body fat percentage  Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

This week we sit down with the very talented, and equally humble, Barney Plummer. The Helm Hill athlete has been making serious waves on the UK trail scene, stacking up wins and course records at some of the country's most competitive races. It was his first time on Tea & Trails, which meant the conversation wandered a bit... Boat crashes, tea etiquette, road marathons, The Lap, The 13 Valleys Ultra, Old County Tops, and of course his incredible victory at the 2026 Fellsman. https://fellsman.org.uk/Pic Credit - @andymiltonphotographyHARRIER - 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=TEAASCEND APP - Use code TeaandTrails30 to receive 30% off a monthly subscription.https://ascendtrailapp.avln.me/c/MOwNWISPDOwiContent may contain affiliate links which help support and grow this channel at no extra 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/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

Ruben Welsch läuft 207 Kilometer in 24 Stunden – wenige Jahre nach einer offenen Herzoperation, bei der sein Körper auf unter 19 Grad runtergekühlt werden musste. Was klingt wie eine Ausnahmegeschichte, ist für ihn Konsequenz: Konsequenz aus einem angeborenen Herzklappenfehler, der ihn mit Mitte 30 zwingt, alles neu zu überdenken.In dieser Folge spreche ich mit dem Unternehmer, Ultraläufer und gebürtigen Mittelhessen über den Moment, als die Diagnose kam und er sie nicht wahrhaben wollte. Über die Jahre mit dem Herzfehler, die Entscheidung zur OP – und wie er sich am Morgen des Eingriffs am Spiegel auf den wichtigsten Wettkampf seines Lebens eingeschworen hat.Wir reden über mentale Stärke im Ultramarathon, die Salamitaktik im 24 Stunden Lauf, und über Alexander Lubina – dem er seinen Sieg in Bottrop 2022 gewidmet hat.Eine Folge über Laufen, Verlust, Weitermachen – und die Frage, warum man überhaupt startet.Themen: Ultramarathon | 24 Stunden Lauf | Herzoperation | Mentale Stärke | 100 km Lauf | Comeback | Leichtathletik | Laufen MotivationAlle aktuellen Partner findest du hier:NordVPN mit verschlüsselter Verbindung und blockiert schädliche Seiten & Tracker.Exklusiv: Großer Rabatt auf das 2-Jahrespaket + 4 Extra-Monate gratis.

Are you actually making progress in your ultramarathon training… or are you just stacking miles and hoping it pays off?In this episode, I break down how to measure progress as an ultrarunner beyond just pace, mileage, or how hard a workout feels. Because if you want to hit your next big goal, whether that's finishing your first ultra, PR'ing a 100 miler, or becoming a stronger mountain runner, you need to know if your training is moving you in the right direction.In this episode, we cover:The 5 pillars of ultramarathon progressWhy pace alone can lie to youHow to use grade-adjusted pace the right wayThe signs your durability is improvingHow recovery can show you're getting fitterWhy nutrition, hydration, mindset, and logistics matter just as much as fitnessThe most important question to ask yourself every week in trainingIf you've ever wondered, “Is this training actually working?” this episode will help you know what to look for, what to track, and how to adjust when things aren't clicking.

Prof Scott unpacks why muscle mass and function are critical for healthy ageing, and how this becomes increasingly complex in the context of obesity, weight loss, and modern treatment approaches.Mikki and Prof Scott explore the tension between improving metabolic health and preserving muscle, including what happens to lean mass during weight loss and why muscle quality matters as much as quantity. They also discuss practical strategies around resistance training and protein, and how these may need to shift across the lifespan.The discussion then turns to GLP-1 receptor agonists and their growing role in obesity management, examining what we know so far about their impact on muscle mass, strength, and long-term health outcomes.This is a broad, evidence-based conversation that brings muscle back to the centre of the metabolic health discussion, with clear takeaways for both clinicians and individuals.David Scott is a Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at Monash University, with a research focus on musculoskeletal health, ageing, and body composition.His work centres on understanding and preventing age-related declines in muscle mass and function, including sarcopenia and frailty. He has a particular interest in how lifestyle factors such as nutrition, physical activity, and body weight influence muscle quality, strength, and overall functional capacity across the lifespan.Professor Scott's research also explores the intersection of obesity and muscle health, including the concept of sarcopenic obesity, as well as the effects of weight loss and emerging therapies on lean mass and physical function. His work contributes to the development of evidence-based strategies to support healthy ageing, maintain independence, and reduce the burden of chronic disease.Professor Dave Scott: https://www.monash.edu/medicine/scs/researchers/david-scott  Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

This week, Mikki breaks down a major 2025 study using UK Biobank wearable data to challenge one of the most widely accepted rules in exercise science. For decades, we've been told that one minute of vigorous activity equals two minutes of moderate activity. But the data tells a very different story. Drawing from over 73,000 participants, this episode unpacks how vigorous movement may be four to ten times more effective depending on the health outcome. Mikki explains what actually counts as “vigorous” (it's more accessible than you think), the physiological mechanisms driving these benefits, and how small bursts of effort throughout your day can meaningfully impact long-term health. This is a practical, evidence-based rethink of how to approach movement for metabolic health, cardiovascular fitness, and longevity.Key Highlights: Why the long-standing 1:2 activity ratio doesn't hold up  What “vigorous” really means in real-world terms  How short bursts of effort impact cardiovascular and metabolic health  The surprising limits of light activity for disease risk reduction  Practical ways to incorporate high-value movement into daily life Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

This week, we're joined by inov‑8 ambassador James Gibson, it's his very first time on the show. So we take the chance to hear how he found his way into running, and how the high fells became his happy place.In recent years he's completed some of the UK's toughest mountain challenges, including a winter Double Bob Graham Round, if that wasn't enough, he's also set a record on the Double Paddy Buckley Round.We chat through both of these enormous winter efforts, what drew him to them, how he prepared, and what it actually feels like to push through two full rounds back‑to‑back when most people would be calling it a day after one.Despite these world‑class performances, James remains famously low‑key. He's a running coach, a Mountain Leader, and someone who has spent years guiding people up Scafell Pike and across the Lakeland fells. That background, long days on the hills, carrying weight, moving steadily through rough ground has shaped him into the resilient, quietly determined athlete he is today.https://www.jamesgibsoncoaching.co.uk/Pic Credit - Jamie Rutherford @jmruther4dHARRIER - 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=TEAASCEND APP - Use code TeaandTrails30 to receive 30% off a monthly subscription.https://ascendtrailapp.avln.me/c/MOwNWISPDOwiContent may contain affiliate links which help support and grow this channel at no extra 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/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to returning guest Associate Professor José Areta to unpack one of the most debated topics in sports nutrition: energy availability, and what really happens when intake drops below demand.José takes a clear, physiology-first approach to explaining what energy availability actually means, why it has become such a dominant concept in exercise science, and whether the current narrative has become overly black-and-white. They explore his recent study examining the effects of a short, aggressive energy deficit, including what happens not just at a whole-body level, but deep within muscle tissue itself.In this conversation, they discuss the hormonal and metabolic responses to rapid weight loss, surprising findings around mitochondrial protein synthesis, and what changes in muscle and connective tissue might actually represent. José also reframes energy deficit as a biological stressor — one that may be adaptive in the right context — and challenges assumptions around how common and harmful low energy availability truly is.This is a nuanced, evidence-driven discussion that cuts through the noise and offers a more balanced perspective on energy deficit, performance, and long-term health.José L Areta currently works as an associate professor in Sports Nutrition and Metabolism at the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at LJMU.José examines how nutrition interacts with exercise to shape both performance and health, with a focus on macronutrient timing and composition, the role of supplements in optimisation, and the hormonal and metabolic responses to energy restriction.José can be found at:https://profiles.ljmu.ac.uk/13460-jose-areta Paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41182317/Previous appearance https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/124  Curranz Supplement: Use code MIKKIPEDIA to get 20% off your first order - go to www.curranz.co.nz  or www.curranz.co.uk to order yours NZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzContact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki unpacks one of the most common yet misunderstood issues in modern health: the interplay between cortisol, stress, poor sleep, and elevated heart rate. Using a real community question as the foundation, she explains why feeling “wired but tired” isn't a personal failing, but a physiological response to chronic, unresolved stress.Mikki walks through how cortisol actually works, why both exercise and life stress use the same biological pathways, and what happens when your system never fully downregulates. She also explores the role of the HPA axis, autonomic nervous system imbalance, and why tools like HRV and resting heart rate can offer insight—but also create more stress if misused.Most importantly, this episode delivers practical, evidence-based strategies to help restore balance and build resilience. Key Highlights: Why cortisol is not the villain—and what it actually does  The difference between acute stress and chronic, unresolved stress  What a high morning heart rate is really telling you  How lifestyle, hydration, and training load impact your stress response  Practical tools to downregulate your nervous system Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

In this episode, Levi Lascsak breaks down a powerful story about pushing through a very difficult Ultra Marathon that he recently completed and how that same mindset applies to building a real estate business on YouTube. If you're tired of cold calling, door knocking, or spending money on ads, this is a different way to think about marketing. Levi Lascsak and Krissy Owens talk about the power of consistency, discipline, and doing the hard things—even when you don't feel like it— and how it can lead to long-term success in real estate, in business, and in life. ======Learn how to get Sellers from Your YouTube Channel: https://linkless.io/mrZ2tqwSchedule a Call With Us to Discuss Partnering With eXp - https://bit.ly/PassiveProspectingPartnershipHere's the link to try a free trial of Channel Studio: https://linkless.io/egH8eah
