Send us Fan Mail#387 - Every year when my Sober Birthday comes around, I like to talk about it on the show. I pick a different theme or aspect of sobriety and what it means to me. There are thousands of us sober/clean runners out there. I can think of few activities that are as great for those getting sober or clean than running. My theme this year is being honest with ourselves. This applies to both running and the rest of our lives. Many times we're not honest with ourselves in our running. It's time to be honest. If you're injured, then get help. If you're slow and you run, you're a runner. And so on..... give yourself props, you deserve it.

ON ADVENTURE PODCAST | EPISODE 73 Episode 73: Running is Life with Aaron Saft As a species, we only do things if there is truly a reward on the other side. So when the reward is pain, struggle, suffering, and danger, what exactly keeps driving us back out the door? Aaron Saft has spent his life chasing that answer. A five-time ACC champion at NC State whose teams finished third at the NCAA Cross Country Championships, he traded the track for the trail, ran his first 100-miler in 2016, and has since become one of the most experienced ultrarunners in the Southeast. Today he coaches roughly 75 athletes full-time through his Running Is Life platform and podcast, a business he deliberately renamed from "MR Running Pains" because he believes running, done right, should bring as much joy as it does suffering. His résumé reads like a bucket list for the sport: the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning, the Bigfoot 200, Hardrock, Leadville, UTMB, and the Tor des Géants in the Italian Alps, where a fall, a head injury, and a watchful medic ended his race. He has finished a 100-miler while spiking a 100-degree fever, outrun a mother grizzly and her cubs in Canada, and learned the hard way when to push and when to stop. But ask Aaron why he does it and he won't point to a trophy. He'll point to the upside-down photo of his family pinned to his quad, the one he looks down at in the darkest miles to remember who he is suffering for. In this conversation, Josh and Aaron trace the many forms the "why" can take. They dig into presence, learning to run a hundred miles one mile at a time, and the moment an empty drop bag at Leadville taught Aaron everything he needed to know about the generosity of the trail community. They talk about the one question you never ask an ultrarunner, the evolution from chasing a place to simply chasing the finish line, why legacy is something children catch rather than something we teach, and how an abundance mindset shaped the coaching practice he built from the ground up. It is a conversation for every everyday explorer about doing the hard things that make life fuller, right now, not someday.

What separates great ultrarunners from everyone else isn't just fitness. It's how they think. In this conversation, legendary coach and runner Ian Sharman shares the philosophy behind his new book The Art of Ultrarunning, explaining why execution, adaptability, and purpose matter just as much as training miles. Through stories from his Grand Slam of Ultrarunning record, hard-earned racing mistakes, and years of coaching athletes of every level, Ian reveals how to stay motivated, pace smarter, and perform your best when everything starts falling apart. The discussion goes well beyond racing, exploring consistency, ego, resilience, and why success often comes from making better decisions instead of simply pushing harder. Despite your experience or goals, this episode offers practical lessons that can improve both your running and the way you approach challenges off the trail. Learn more about Ian at Sharman Ultra.

Ian explains why successful racing is about combining science with execution and why ultrarunning is as much an art as it is physiology. 09:00 | Finding Your Purpose The conversation explores why every run should have intention and how a meaningful "why" helps runners push through difficult moments. 20:00 | Adapting When Goals Slip Away Ian discusses how successful runners adjust expectations during a race instead of giving up when their original goal becomes unrealistic. 39:00 | Consistency Beats Hero Workouts Why small, repeatable actions build stronger athletes than occasional epic training sessions, and how consistency shaped Ian's career. 47:00 | Training Is Practice for Decision Making Running isn't just building fitness. Every workout teaches pacing, body awareness, problem solving, and race execution. 56:00 | The Grand Slam Battle with Nick Clark Ian shares the remarkable story of chasing the Grand Slam record through four 100-mile races while battling one of his closest competitors every step of the way. 1:01:00 | Racing Yourself Instead of Your Competition One of the episode's biggest lessons: take care of your own race first, then compete when the time is right. Execution nearly always beats emotion.

A quick scan of a pre-race warmup area and you'll see a rainbow array of brightly coloured drink mixes filling the bottles, beakers, and hydration packs of endurance athletes. For many, these beverages are the bridge between the hydration needs of “normal” people and the performance necessities of athletes, with brands touting optimized mineral blends and special formulas aimed at keeping athletes running harder for longer. But how much are these drinks really doing for performance and how much is clever marketing aimed at capitalizing on the most basic of human needs: thirst? With the hottest months upon us and the racing season in full swing, we welcome back Registered Dietitian Sandra Frail to dive into the salty waters of endurance hydration. We're taking a look at what our bodies really need to perform at their best, debunking some of the common misconceptions around electrolytes, sweat, and dehydration, and understanding the real-world strategies athletes can use to optimize their hydration and avoid pouring away extra money on pricey pee.

Even though Eddie and Gary are on the rebuild, they're still somehow busier than a Greggs on match day. Gary's had a short stay in the comparison trap, but a chance encounter with a real‑life hero gave him the reality check he needed.Both hosts also find themselves openly thirsting over an A‑list movie star. Zero shame from both. We also sing the praises of the humble home gym. We're not talking squat racks. We mean the trusty dumbbell, a couple of resistance bands, and a yoga mat.And to round things off, the coaches chat about the simple brilliance of taking a map out on the trails. Old‑school.

Send us Fan Mail#386 - What do runners think about while we're running? I ask this question and try to answer it with things that I've thought about over the years and I compare that to a study of runners that was done. What do you think about during your runs? Pace, form, food, or maybe all of the above? I also review Haruki Murakami's book "What I Talk About When I Talk Bout Running" that I finally read. In fact his book gave me the idea for this episode.

Western States 100 occupies a different place in trail running than almost any other race. Months before the starting gun, runners and fans are already studying the field, imagining the canyons, debating contenders, and wondering what story will emerge from Auburn.This episode explores why Western States feels bigger than a race. From Jim Walmsley and Kilian Jornet to Wendell Robie, Rucky Chucky, and the old buckle holders still working aid stations, Josh makes the case that Western States belongs in the same conversation as The Masters and the Kentucky Derby.Not because of the sport, but because of what happens when greatness, history, place, and uncertainty all meet in the same event.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Topics / Timestamps01:54 Elite Runners vs 'Participation Runners'08:05 The Course as Character11:14 The Importance of The Course13:54 The Importance of Rucky Chucky16:12 The Dual Nature of the Race19:58 The Spirit of American Trail Running22:09 The Unfolding Drama of Race DayResources / Links2026 WSER Entrants ListLive on Course - LoC by BorderlandsBorderlands.ccLa French TrailRelated EpisodesTrail Running Loves Winners, Does it Love Competitors?Ultra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

Not exactly the classic tune‑up for UTS by UTMB 100K, yet it clearly worked… because she stormed her way to 2nd place in a seriously stacked field.We chat about her recent races, the unconventional build‑up, and her journey back to racing as a mother of two young children.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-gbBEARHUG - Click the link to receive 15% off your order.https://getabearhug.avln.me/c/mtOmrcHyImJoContent contains affiliate links which help support this channel at no cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Run The Wild - https://runthewild.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/
He's back! Addy the baddy. It had been too long. We had a good time catching up, discussing how trail running teams may evolve, working with athletes expectations of training, and even a Guy Fieri conspiracy theory
Peak training is where ultramarathon dreams are either reinforced—or quietly sabotaged.Most runners think peak weeks are simply about logging the biggest mileage of their training cycle. But the athletes who arrive at race day strong understand that these weeks are about much more than volume. Learning how to handle fatigue, testing race-day decisions before they matter, and balancing the fine line between building fitness and digging a hole too deep to climb out of.In this episode you will learn how to maximize the benefits of your highest-volume weeks, avoid common traps that derail runners late in a training cycle, and use peak training to gain confidence heading into race day.You'll also discover:-Why peak weeks are about far more than just accumulating miles-The hidden purpose behind your longest runs and biggest training blocks-A simple mindset shift that can transform how you approach race preparation-The costly mistake that ruined an otherwise excellent training cycle-The often-overlooked recovery factors that can make or break peak training-Key warning signs your body may be giving you during high-volume training-How to balance training stress without sacrificing long-term progress-The surprising role that sleep, fueling, and strength work play when mileage is highestLearn how to turn peak training into a powerful advantage—and arrive at race day healthy, confident, and ready to perform.SHOW LINKS: Register for our 100K or 50K race, Desert Peak Ultra, by going to desertpeakultra.comWant to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching program?

Der Sub-2-Marathon, eine neue FKT auf dem Mt. Everest, Rachel Entrekins' sensationelle Leistung beim Cocodona – wir haben den Eindruck, die (Trail-)Laufwelt erlebt in diesen Tagen einen gehörigen Beschleunigungsschub. Grund für uns, noch einmal unseren Lieblingssoziologen Hartmut Rosa und seine Beschleunigungstheorie hervorzuholen. Kommt als entschleunigende Antwort auf die immer schneller werdende Welt nun eine neue Form des Trailrunnings, "Slow Trail“? Braucht es das? Christian ist zumindest großer Fan der Idee.Wir sprechen außerdem über den Film Hanging By A Thread, über Julianes Radabenteuer und über die Frage, ob bei einem Trailrunning-Everesting bergab gelaufen werden sollte oder nicht.Wir hoffen, euch gefällt der Podcast.

India swept gold, silver, and bronze at the IAU 24-Hour Asia Oceania Championship in Japan in 2026 — beating Japan on their home soil with a team total that no Asian country had ever achieved in IAU history.In Episode 256 of Run with Fitpage, Vikas Singh sits down with Santhosh Padmanabhan — Founder of Runner's High and Head Coach & Team Manager of the Indian team at the 2026 IAU 24-Hour Asia Oceania Championships — for a conversation about what it actually takes to build a team that can beat the best in Asia, what the science of 24-hour running looks like in practice, and why everything he learned coaching underprivileged school children in Bengaluru eventually found its way into India's championship-winning ultra running programme.In this episode we covered:How a $100,000 fundraiser for underprivileged children in 2004 turned a VLSI chip engineer into one of India's most respected running coachesWhy Santhosh believes PT class is the most undervalued hour in any Indian school — and how he built a programme that teaches VO2 Max to tribal children using a bucket, a tube, and balloonsHow India went from never winning a championship outside home soil to sweeping gold, silver, and bronze at the IAU 24-Hour Asia Oceania Championship in Japan in 2026Why training for a 24-hour race is fundamentally different from marathon training — and the one mistake almost every Indian ultra runner makesHow Santhosh structures 12-hour day runs, 12-hour night runs, and intervals inside long runs to simulate race-day fatigue without breaking his athletes downWhy he does not believe in sleep breaks during a 24-hour race — and the science behind running through the nightThe team culture he built that made Amar Singh Devanda — now among only 11 people in history to ever cover his distance in 24 hours — run even betterWhat India needs to do to stop being Asia's best and start competing for a world championship medalPadmanabhan — Founder of Runner's High, USATF Level 2 Coach, and the man behind India's national ultra running programme — for a conversation about what it actually takes to coach athletes for 24 hours of continuous running.About Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

Kia ora e te whānau. Ian Sharman is a straight-up Legend in the sport of ultramarathon running. A Coach and Athlete hailing from the Golden Age, before 4K cameras in everyone's pockets and when fans had to pass around a pirated copy of Unbreakable, Sharman and his kin were like trail gods, foreshadowing and inspiring the current crop of legends and doing things us regular people could only imagine, and we had to, because it was before the great trailrunning media bubble formed. Starting DCR 8 years ago after growing up in the sport, listening to Shaman on Trail Runner Nation and the like, and having him on the podcast is like a dream come true. The four-time Leadville winner and Grand Slam of Ultra Running record holder joins Ali and Andrew for a long overdue catch-up about life on the trails, his amazing achievements in racing and coaching, and the why behind his new book, The Art of Ultrarunning: Tried & Tested Strategies for Long Distance Runners.Dirt Church Radio—Best Enjoyed Running.--- --- --- Episode Links Ian Sharman InstagramSharman Ultra CoachingThe Art Of Ultrarunning PreorderSign up for the DCR AidStation newsletter.Dirt Church Radio on InstagramDirt Church Radio on FacebookFurther Faster New ZealandEnjoy!Music by Andrew McDowall, Digicake

They discuss highlights of the book including how to best pace yourself in an ultramarathon, the benefits of power-hiking, how not to let ego sabotage your race day, failure and much more. Sharman wrote The Art of Ultrarunning after years of ultrarunning and coaching experience on some of the world's biggest stages. The Art of Ultrarunning will be out in June 2026.

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/
Episode 103We were lucky enough to grab an hour with 4 x Leadville Trail 100 winner and coach Ian Sharman ahead of the release of his much anticipated first book 'The Art of Ultrarunning'. We chat about the highs and lows of his long running career and why mistakes are such and important part of the journey in endurance sports. Ian's book will probably become a bit of a running bible in short order as he weaves a narrative of his own experiences and that of some of the most successful runners of the past 15 years to create a treasure trove of knowledge that runners of all levels will gain something from. We also discuss common runner problems such as why obsessing about equipment maybe isn't the best plan and what runners should focus on instead. You can find Ian at: www.sharmanultra.com The Art of Ultrarunning is available to pre-order here:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Art-Ultrarunning-Strategies-Long-Distance-Runners/dp/1718252439and for social media follow: @sharmanainAs always, once we hit record the time flies by so we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.

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/

Lauren Jones.Lauren balances a demanding career as a pediatric nurse anesthetist, family life, and somehow still finds time to chase some of the hardest endurance goals imaginable. Multi-day races. Cocodona. Fixed time racing. Running over 150 miles in 24 hours. Team USA. Hallucinations. DNFs. Successes. Failures.We talk about balancing life with training, learning how to fail without letting it define you, why hard things can make other hard things easier, and how radical acceptance of failure can unlock growth.Lauren shares stories from Cocodona, fixed time racing, hallucinating deep into ultramarathons, running 154 miles in a day, and what keeps bringing her back to difficult challenges.We also talk about getting back into running after Cocodona, Memorial Day reflections, honoring sacrifice, and why maybe the point isn't perfection. Maybe the point is showing up anyway.Topics:• Cocodona 250• Fixed time racing and Desert Solstice• Running 154 miles in 24 hours• Team USA experience• DNFs and learning from failure• Hallucinations and sleep deprivation• Balancing career, family, and training• Mental strategies for ultrarunning• Why we keep choosing hard thingsThanks to Janji, Garage Grown Gear, Northeast Trail Adventures, and Montana Meltdown for supporting the show.Support our Sponsors: Sawyer: https://sawyerdirect.net/Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside#Trailrunning #Runningnews #Outdoors #Outdooradventure
What does it actually take to line up at your first trail ultra and not just survive it, but do it right? In this Expert Series episode, we sit down with Ash Daniels, Level 3 Athletics Australia accredited coach, AUTRA endorsed coach, and Australian national 100km team manager, to get into everything road runners need to know before making the jump to trails.Ash starts where most coaches don't: with his own disastrous first attempt at Ultra-Trail Australia, carrying enough kit to survive the weekend and arriving at a checkpoint six hours late. From that experience came a 5-hour PB the following year, a decade-long coaching career, and a very clear philosophy on what actually matters in trail and ultra preparation.In this episode we cover training specificity for trail (and why your marathon prep won't save you), the vert-per-10K metric Ash uses with all his athletes, why he ditched heart rate zones in favor of running power and RPE, what social media consistently gets wrong about electrolytes and high-carb fueling, and a nuanced, honest conversation about where AI fits (and doesn't fit) in coaching.Whether you're eyeing your first 50K or just trail-curious, this one is packed with practical, no-nonsense insight.--Find Ash at journey2ultra.com.au or on Instagram @journey2ultracoachingFollow Bruna: @justbrunathingsFollow Fabi: @endurance_fabiLearn more about the podcast: www.humanendurancepodcast.com
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/
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/
Send us Fan MailIn episode #184, we bring back pro mountain runner Adam Kimble to talk about his incredible year of racing so far, including breaking course records at Badwater Cape Fear 50k and Outlands Endurance Races 50k, winning American River 50 miler, and most recently a DNF at Cocodona 250, and the strategies he employed, dealing with injury, and lessons learned.Key Points:How to adapt training and nutrition for different race lengths and terrains.The importance of race simulationsManaging sleep deprivationThe significance of course familiarity and learning from race DNFs.Practical tips for hydration: fluid strategies, salt intake, and hyperhydration protocols.Upcoming races and injury managementAdam Kimble is a professional ultrarunner, race director, motivational speaker and running coach from Truckee, CA. In 2016, Adam ran 2,500 miles over the course of 60 days to cross the USA on foot. Subsequently, in November of 2016, he successfully completed a 60-day journey alone in the wilderness of South America to become winner of Discovery Channel's survivalist show, The Wheel. Following that adventure, Adam set two prominent Fastest Known Times (FKTs): in 2017 he became part of the first duo to ever run self-supported on foot across Great Britain (Scotland, England and Wales) while summiting the highest peak in each country along the way; and in 2020, he set the supported FKT on the Tahoe Rim Trail—a 171-mile circumnavigation of Lake Tahoe. Most recently in 2025, Adam finished 4th overall and ran one of the Top-10 fastest times ever at the historic Badwater 135. Adam's life mission is to push himself past his perceived limits and achieve the impossible. His calling is to share what he has learned and help others grow in their journey so as to push through the ceiling and achieve their own 'impossible'.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.FREE RESOURCE:Recovery Protocol: https://mailchi.mp/nutritional-revolution.com/recovery-protocolHydration 101: https://mailchi.mp/nutritional-revolution/hydration101FOLLOW ADAM:IG: https://www.instagram.com/adamkimble818/Web: www.adamkimble.comMENTIONED:Episode 81: https://nutritional-revolution.com/podcasts/ultrarunner-and-coach-adam-kimble/Episode 147: https://nutritional-revolution.com/podcasts/badwater-breakthrough-adam-kimbles-journey-at-the-worlds-toughest-race/Run Gum: https://amzn.to/4v6mTnvMaurten Caffeine Gels: https://amzn.to/4utpwQgScience In Sport Caffeine Gum: https://go.shopmy.us/p-59556271Creatine: https://nutritional-revolution.com/product/thorne-creatine/MORE NRApply to work with Kyla → https://p.bttr.to/3ZrwzcFUse code NEWPOD10 for 10% off our meal plans → https://nutritional-revolution.com/products/CONNECT Instagram → www.instagram.com/nutritionalrevolutionSponsorship inquiries → kyla.c@nutritional-revolution.comInterested in having your biomarkers or nutrigenomics checked?

Kia ora e te whānau. We ran away and joined the circus. And it was cool as hell. No, not that dork-fest in the desert, but a true example of community and fellowship at the 2026 Hoka Ultra Trail Australia by UTMB. These are incredible four days in the majesty of the Blue Mountains. Ali and Matt were privileged to lead a brilliant conversation with some of the biggest talents in Trail and Ultra Running on Friday, after the first of our live shows was rained off. We speak with Beth McKenzie, Ruth Croft, Dan Jones, and two-time Leadville champ (and kangaroo victim) Adrian MacDonald. We'll be running down the highs and lows, drama, and hilarity of yapping on the mic during this wonderful week away. We would like to acknowledge every single person who toe'd the line in the 11, 22, 50, 100 km, and 100-mile distances. We appreciate the effort, courage, and sacrifice you and your families made to be here.

Send us Fan MailShe's run ultras. She's survived pregnancy nausea. She's raced with a baby at home. And she has opinions about all of it.In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Erin Kennedy Dalisay — ortho & sports PT, run coach, marathoner, ultramarathoner, and founder of RunWell Clinic — and we are getting into ALL of it. The stuff nobody talks about. The stuff every running mom is thinking but hasn't heard addressed from someone who actually lives it and has the clinical expertise to back it up.We talk about the myths that are still floating around out there about running through pregnancy and coming back postpartum, what it's actually like to deal with nausea when you're used to pushing your body hard, and the question everyone wants to know the answer to… is childbirth harder than an ultra?We also get into what it really means to have an orthopedic lens on postpartum recovery — why coming back as an injured runner and coming back as a postpartum runner have more in common than you'd think — plus the honest, unglamorous logistics of racing when you're also a parent.If you've ever tried to figure out how to hold on to your identity as a runner while also holding a baby… this one is for you.In this episode we cover:The biggest myths about running in pregnancy and postpartum — debunkedNausea during pregnancy: what helped, what didn't, and how to keep movingIs childbirth harder than an ultra? She's done both and she's not holding backComparing pre- and postpartum performance — and how to actually think about itWhat an orthopedic perspective adds to postpartum return to runningThe real logistics of racing and parenting — scheduling, childcare, guilt, all of it

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.

This week on Happy Endings, Stephanie Stonebraker hosts guest, Lindsey Duffield for an episode full of big feelings, big miles, and a whole lot of women doing badass things. Before diving into Grasslands, Stephanie and Lindsey reflect on the heaviness surrounding Cocodona, while also celebrating Rachel Entrekin's historic overall win and the powerful reminder that women are showing up, leading races, breaking records, and redefining what's possible in ultrarunning.Lindsey shares her journey from losing 100 pounds and running her first road race in 2020 to discovering trail running, tackling her first 50-miler, completing the Lone Star Slam, earning a sub-24-hour 100-mile finish, and eventually taking on tough mountain races like Bear, Kettle Moraine, and Silamoo. She also revisits her first Grasslands 100, the muddy year that tested her to the core, and the people who helped get her to the finish when quitting felt close.The conversation centers on Lindsey's most recent Grasslands finish, where extreme heat, disciplined fueling, friendship, pacers, and a little bit of scheming all came together. Lindsey talks about running most of the race with Sarah, recruiting Ashley to pace her final 50K, and realizing that her pacer was strong enough to almost drop her. The episode wraps with a reminder to chase the scary goals anyway, as Lindsey looks ahead to attempting the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning.Be sure to subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen, and we always appreciate you leaving a good rate and review.

There are some guidelines and these loose guidelines can be applied to anyone who's trying something out of their comfort zone. I don't feel anyone else should pass judgement on us when we determine where that line is. There are too many in running and endurance sports telling us we need to take more chances, try more, do more. That's a personal decision and no one can decide that but us. This week, I give us something to think about, perhaps on your next run. Are you the type who likes to try next experiences head-on? Or do you like to stick with what you know? As I said, there are no judgements, no trying to talk you into doing something new. That's entirely your choice. We're just doing some long run thinking today. Enjoy the run!

This weeks interview guest is a true pioneer of British fell and mountain running — Martin Stone. From becoming the first to complete a solo, unsupported winter Bob Graham Round in 1987, to winning the legendary 1992 Dragon’s Back Race alongside Helene Diamantides and dozens of other records alongside, Martin has spent decades pushing the limits of endurance in the mountains. As the very first recipient of the FRA Long Distance Award back in 1987, he has gone on to oversee the legacy of long distance mountain running in the UK, chairing the award panel and providing support to countless record attempts right up to today. He recounts stories of his own winter records, helping Kilian Jornet and Jack Kuenzle on their BG attempts and talks about the evolution of kit and safety from the 1980s through to present day. A hugely respected figure in the sport, Martin’s stories capture the spirit, hardship and adventure of classic fell running.

Neither Gary nor Eddie are exactly Stepper superfans, but we know plenty of you swear by it for your vert, so we're diving in.Eddie also pops on her coaching hat to chat about the classic back‑to‑back long run versus Gary's preferred method: the double… but absolutely not back‑to‑back long runs.We also cast our eyes across the pond for a pinch of inspiration from the mighty Cocodona 250!Meanwhile, another week of Hardmoors 200 and Spine Race training is in the bank, and you lot have been absolutely smashing it over on Strava, big miles, big races, big energy.

You can't watch any sporting event, stream any movie or show, watch any video or do anything on any media without seeing an ad touting GLP-1s. This week, I explain what they are and how they can help and hurt runners. There are positives to using them and there are negatives. Many people are getting help from them and many people are using them incorrectly.

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/

It ended up being pure Mad Max the whole way through.She's back. This year the theme is Cocodona the Musical.In this episode of Flagstaff Bound, Kevin sits down solo with Allison Powell — returning ultrarunner, storyteller, coach, Montana community builder, and Jeff Garmire's fiancée — for one of the most fun conversations in the series. Allison talks about what last year actually looked like out there when the weather came in and survival mode took over, why she's ditching the multi-universe structure this year in favor of one overarching theme of whimsy, and what it means to race the same 250-mile race as your partner while keeping everything completely separate — different crews, different bubbles, different tents the night before.She also talks about the Montana chapter of Women in Ultrarunning, why she's running for Runners for Public Lands this year, and what getting more women to the start line of races like Cocodona actually requires.Her chalkboard message at Mingus is about Air Bud. She has opposable thumbs. She can do this.Cocodona 250 kicks off Monday, May 4th at 5 AM Pacific. Follow the action live on the Mountain Outpost YouTube channel.
In this episode, we sit down with ultrarunning legend Hal Koerner and Ian Sharman to go beyond the race results and into the stories hidden between the aid stations. Hal reflects on the gritty era of ultrarunning when gear was simpler, races were rougher, and success often came down to who could stay calm while everything else unraveled. The conversation explores their approach to downhill running, how they learned to descend with confidence, and why many runners sabotage themselves by braking too much and overthinking every step. Hal also shares memorable moments from decades in the sport, including hallucinations, race-day mistakes, lessons from other legends, and the strange, beautiful chaos that unfolds after enough miles in the mountains. Along the way, we discuss how the sport has changed, from shoes and nutrition to the growing popularity of ultrarunning, while Hal remains the same smiling, endlessly curious runner with the grin that somehow survives even mile 90. By the end, the episode feels less like an interview and more like sitting beside a campfire with one of the sport's great storytellers while the mountains glow quietly in the background.
