What happens after the race is done, the film is released, or the effort is over? In this solo reflection, Paul explores the quiet space between doing the work and discovering what it meant. Drawing from his own experience at the Yukon Arctic Ultra — and a story from Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert — this episode is about stillness, identity, and trusting the process, even when the result isn't clear.

This episode is a little different from our usual structured approach. It's a raw and honest conversation between two friends—Pyllon coach Paul Giblin and fellow coach John Connolly. Paul shares the repercussions of his Yukon Arctic Ultra experience, including the frostbite he suffered during the race and the long road to recovery. It's not all serious, though—expect plenty of laughs, some swearing, and an inside look at what really happened when he hit the SOS button in the middle of one of the world's toughest races. Hear about: ✅ How the frostbite happened ✅ What went down when the rescue was activated ✅ The treatment Paul has received so far ✅ How this experience has changed his perspective This is an unscripted, casual conversation between two Pyllon coaches—something different from our usual episodes but packed with real stories, real consequences, and real lessons from the ultra world. There are some sweary words! ⚡ Follow Pyllon for coaching, training insights, and more:

If you have raced at the Outlaw full or any UK Ironman in recent years, you may have heard of this week's podcast guest, Pat Cooke-Rogers. I've known Pat for several years, primarily because she holds the Outlaw prayer on the Saturday before the Outlaw Full, as well as the IronPrayer the day before UK Ironman events. Pat always reminds me when we promote the meeting that one doesn't have to be religious to attend. There are folks who would value some kind words and empathy when they're feeling anxious, and Pat offers this opportunity. Whilst I'm not naturally given to prayer, I have to say that during dark moments in a long distance triathlon I recall wondering if anyone out there could help me get to the finish just a little quicker.   As well as being a chaplain, Pat is an accomplished endurance athlete in her own right having competed in Hawaii at the IM World Championships, qualified for the Ice Mile, and taken on huge challenges such as the Yukon Arctic Ultra on a fat bike. Oh, and by the way, Pat is in her late 60's and still signing up for these challenges which makes our conversation even more interesting!   You know I love to find out about what makes older athletes tick, and today's conversation covers:   Opening up, embracing nature, and the power of vulnerability (15:45) Embrace the cold - Pat's love affair with ice mile swimming and the Yukon Arctic Ultra (21:15) Why Pat has 4 coaches and how they become more important as we get older (34:20) Gratitude (55:10) Less endurance, more strength work, better nutrition - balancing the daily challenges of aging and continuing to train (58:30)   Pat isn't big on social media so there are no links to follow her. Instead, she's shared the below resources.   Her favourite book is a mega tale of endurance! ‘8000 miles across Alaska: A Runners Journey on the Iditarod Trail' by Jill Homer.   Pat talked about her passion for events in cold conditions. Please check out these videos: The Yukon Arctic Ultra - you can get a brief insight to this event from the trailer. There are links to longer videos if you are interested.

His physical and mental endurance is proven in the world's most challenging human endurance sport, making him a formidable hunter. His determination and ability to never stop the pursuit separate him from all other hunting personalities. Greg's greatest solo accomplishment is winning a 430-mile race called the Yukon Arctic Ultra in the Arctic winter. Greg pulled a sled with the necessities to survive the -50 temperatures that were experienced during the event. The mental dominance required to compete and win the event is tapped into whenever challenges arise in other areas of life. An engaging host with extensive backcountry skills, an unwavering passion for the hunt, and adventure racing toughness, make McHale unlike any hunting partner you've ever had. Experienced in big-wall climbing, mountaineering, paddling, and trekking, combined with his hunting experience, make him an elite outdoorsman-excellence as a rifleman and archer round out his hunting resume. Greg is not only an athlete but also a pilot on wheels and floats. He uses his aircraft to scout for game and to bring the team far off the beaten path. Landing on remote airstrips, skis, or lakes and rivers, Greg's skills as a bush pilot open the vast landscape of the wild Yukon to these hunters. Host of the television show Greg McHale's Wild Yukon, Greg is passionate about inspiring others to "do the work" to improve their lives through fitness, health, and the pursuit of outdoor adventure.

Derrick Spafford | Rediscovering Running After a 31-Year Streak

From Yarker Ontario, Derrick Spafford is a 56-year-old competitive runner, coach, race director and owner of Spafford Health and Adventure, offering Dion snowshoes and a very popular series of snowshoe races. But perhaps his biggest claim to fame is a 31-year and 25-day run streak that began on Boxing Day in 1989 and came to an abrupt end almost 2 years ago when he was diagnosed with -- and hospitalized for -- a pulmonary embolism. Throughout the course of his 3-decade run streak, Derrick competed in hundreds of races with distances ranging from 800 meters to 100 miles. While Derrick has run his fair share of road races and track events, his love lies in the mountains and off-the-beaten-path trails. In this conversation we dug deep into Derrick's epic run streak, which at the time it ended was the 3rd longest in Canada, as well as what inspires him to get out the door and move his body these days. Connect with Derrick:Website: healthandadventure.comInstagram: @spaffordadventureResources we discussed in this episode:Episode 111 with Ray ZahabRun Streak Website: runeveryday.comFavourite Mantra: Strong Brisk Fast and LightFavourite Place to Run: Trails near Shabomeka LakeBucket List Race: Sister race to the Yukon Arctic Ultra in Lapland, Sweden;Favourite Running Books: Once a Runner by John L.

Welcome back everyone in this episode, as part of the "In the Service of Others - Who Dares Wins" Series, I have the privilege to reconnect with a top bloke and good mate, Former Australian SAS Operator & Team Commander Daniel Cooper. Coops is a high achiever in every sense of the word and someone who continuously pushes the boundaries of human performance. Extremely humble in his accomplishments & abilities and methodical in his planning and preparation - it's no wonder he's gone on to achieve what he has as a former SAS soldier, competitive athlete, ultra endurance athlete, businessman and most importantly as a husband and father. Coops is definitely someone you want to have on your team regardless of the task. Capable, knowledgeable, skilled, experienced, humble and selfless. We hope you enjoy listening to Dan speak about some of his time in the unit. Please note - In this episode we focused primarily on his time leading up to joining the regiment and while he was in.

In our first interview episode, we welcome Jon Gupta from Mountain Expeditions. Jon's career has seen him swimming with turtles off the coast of Odisha, India, competing in the 430-Yukon Arctic Ultra to summiting the tallest mountains on the planet - including the tallest mountain on the planet, three times. Jon is a Montane Athlete, member of the Alpine Club, ambassador for the Youth Adventure Trust, and a member of both the Mountain Training Association and the Association of Mountaineering Instructors.  His career sees him running his own mountain expedition company - aptly called Mountain Expeditions - facilitating and taking part in the 7 summits world record, climbing mountains incredibly quickly, travelling from continent to continent, summiting Everest three times, giving his time to host and run altitude and skill seminars, and still finds the time to escape to places like Chamonix and Scotland for some me-time.  Be Bothered  One of the key take-aways you should take from this, is Jon's infectious attitude to "Be Bothered". It's similar to Lucy Shepherd's view too.  You know when you wake up, need the loo, don't go, carry on not going, keep trying to sleep, and then two hours later you go and fall alseep within five minutes of having done so? This is the exact situation where Jon says you should "Be Bothered".  Quite often when you finish a day on expedition, all you will want to do is sit back and relax. But really, you can't. Especially when it comes to high altitude. You need to get your kit prepped, square away your admin, melt snow for the next day's water... everything.  There's no need to explain further, but Jon does explain how you can practice for this in everyday life. Things like taking out the recycling. You may think "I'll do it later". But instead, you should "Be Bothered" and get it done straight away.  Much like the gym, this works for your physical fitness preparation too. His own example was cycling uphill. Instead of looking at the hill as a total point, he says instead to break it down to manageable distances, and repeat those small distance intervals until you reach the top.  If you want to grow as a person, or simply prepare for the high-altitude mountains, do this.  Short Term Loss, Long Term Gain  Jon touches upon this too - and it is so relatable!  Talking from experience, we all need to start thinking what our long-term goals are. It doesn't mean you need to stop living today. Just a reminder to start thinking of where you want to be, and is what you're doing right now going to get you there.  A Deep And Vast Experience  Jon has a huge experience in climbing Everest, Denali and the rest of the 7 summits. He has speed records and experience in such huge experience.  Hear how Jon compares the North and South approaches on Everest, climbing mountains, dealing with altitude, endurance races, living in North Wales and more.  -----------------  If you enjoy the show please subscribe/follow and share with a friend!  If you really enjoy the show please check out our Patreon site here.

I found this to be a brilliant episode that presents a road map on how to mentally manage and navigate through those more challenging times on course, I hope you enjoyed,I hope you find something that you can use yourself, I know I’ll be listening to this again as part of my prerace prep in my next big event.

057: James Cracknell on Endeavour   A note about Coronavrius We, individuals, groups, communities, society look up to sporting heroes, we revere and admire their dedication, their persistence, their focus, the sacrifices they make to make the most of their often rare genetics and to do so on the greatest performance stage. As the world battles Coronavirus, we're all going to be required to make sacrifices that we've never made before in pursuit of applying ourselves, to the collective goal of public health.   We've thought hard about whether while the world is taking dramatic turn, whether the appropriateness of us publishing podcast episodes about a topic of human performance is even relevant. Certainly we can appreciate that if you normally tune in but your head is elsewhere at the moment then it might be better to switch off, go an focus on what you need to do (which hopefully isn't stock piling toilet rolls) and listen to this again when it suits you best.   We've decided to continue because perhaps these episodes can offer some inspiration, maybe an hour's worth of distraction, perhaps to help refocus you on what you need to be doing. Also, there are a lot of people now distancing and isolating for the first time in their lives – I hope in some ways these episodes can be some supportive company and a positive influence as the worry and the noise surrounding the outbreak increases.   This week's episode features my interview with James Cracknell. Two time Olympic Champion in coxless four rowing, part of perhaps the most renowned rowing crew of all time the Sydney 2000 four – a team I was honoured to support. On retirement, James didn't put his feet up, in fact almost the opposite. He crossed the Atlantic with Ben Fogle, raced to the South Pole, kayaked the length of the Thames, was at the time the fastest Briton to run the Marathon de Sables, competed in the Yukon Arctic Ultra and has run the London Marathon numerous times with a best time of 2:43 which for a 90kg guy is phenomenal (at the time of recording James was headed for the London Marathon in a few weeks, but the event has now been postponed for now to October). In 2010 James undertook Ride Across America and was hit by a petrol tanker suffering a contrecoup brain injury – he is now a campaigner for the use of bike helmets – which effectively saved his life.   Last year James became the oldest competitor and the oldest winner, in the history of the Oxford – Cambridge boat being twice as old as his crew mates and competitors and older than some of his crew mates dad's. I worked with James in the pursuit of this goal and it was one of the most challenging cases I've worked on, to problem solve and innovate in such unique ways. James did so through some trying personal circumstances which played out in the press.   In this conversation James and I discuss his early in drivers, becoming part of a crew with some of the highest achievers in sport Sir Steve Redgrave and Sir Matthew Pinsent. Why he kept pushing towards goals after he retired from Olympic sport and his passions for public service and how through public policy he aspires to make the biggest difference to the people's health and well-being. I do believe there is a lesson in here about creating intensity about doing what we need to do to accomplish something. I also think there is a message about feeling the fears but rather than being paralysed by them – acting upon them. Happy listening, keep your distance and wash your hands folks! Show notes Steve and James discuss their long-standing relationship Honesty and being unafraid to be unpopular James's return to high level sport and The Boat Race James required a bespoke recovery programme that enabled him to come back stronger The triple whammy of ultra-endurance endeavours, starvation on The Island and being 45! Any reputation James had disappeared rapidly at the 5K ergo Earning respect by beating Steve and Matthew There are different ways to skin a cat! James's physiology Being the best at everything that takes no natural talent     Defending titles and building on success. “Anyone can win once” Switching sides and doing the double The part vanity has to play in winning or losing Pressure Setting extraordinary goals The challenges full time athletes face! Motivating other people, being a burden, enjoying sport and rewarding yourself Relationships, perspectives and differences Swapping lycra for goretex or a gown at Cambridge and the binary nature of winning and losing Strictly what's the worst that could happen?! Do not show weakness. Do not show the opposition you are tired. Showing vulnerability Don't let them see you being sick Winning by a second or 4, break the world record…no?!

"You can think of exercise as an intravenous dose of hope." ~Kelly McGonigalKelly McGonigal (@kellymcgonigal) is a health psychologist and lecturer at Stanford University who specializes in understanding the mind-body connection. As a pioneer in the field of "science-help," her mission is to translate insights from psychology and neuroscience into practical strategies that support personal well-being and strengthen communities.She is the best-selling author of The Willpower Instinct and The Upside of Stress.Through the Stanford Center for Compassion and Altruism, she helped create Stanford Compassion Cultivation Training, a program now taught around the world that helps individuals strengthen their empathy, compassion, and self-compassion.You might know her from her TED talk, "How to Make Stress Your Friend," which is one of the most viewed TED talks of all time, with over 20 million views.Her new book, The Joy of Movement, explores why physical exercise is a powerful antidote to the modern epidemics of depression, anxiety, and loneliness.In this episode, we talk about everything from tai chi to ultra-marathons to dance, and we really get into the science around how these different movements produce chemical changes in our brains that lift our mood and reduce anxiety and depression. Here, Kelly gives us the scoop about something called "hope molecules" and the minimum effective dose of movement required to produce them.Connect with Kelly: Website | Twitter | Facebook | InstagramLinks from this episode:The Joy of Movement: How Exercise Helps Us Find Happiness, Hope, Connection, and Courage by Kelly McGonigalThe Upside of Stress: Why Stress Is Good for You, and How to Get Good at It by Kelly McGonigalOther Books by Kelly McGonigalThe Stanford Center for Compassion and AltruismHow to Make Stress Your Friend by Kelly McGonigal, TEDGlobal 2013StudioNia, PortlandTai Chi: A Gentle Way to Fight Stress, The Mayo ClinicA History and Style Guide of Tae Kwon Do, LiveAboutYoga for Everyone, The New York TimesUltra-Endurance Athletics, The Why?

More information here: foundationpodcast.info. [00:03]Who is Kelly McGonigal, how has she helped me, and how will her message here help you? [01:16]What is Nia, and what does it aim to convey through music and movement? [02:43]How did Kelly get into using movement as a way to facilitate mental well-being, and what compelled her to delve into the science behind it that she shares in The Joy of Movement? [05:25]Two revelations about the direct connection between muscle movement and mental health that blew Kelly's mind when she started digging into this research. [07:05]What's the anthropological take on why we experience a high after exercise (particularly running)? [11:03]What does Kelly recommend as the minimum effective dose of exercise for us to really enjoy its mental benefits? Should it be enough to scare up a heartbeat that replicates fear and the courage by which it can be overcome? [14:40]Good news regarding the minimum dose if all you want to do is feel better. [18:32]The science we have so far suggests these two reasons we feel better with even a tiny dose of physical activity. [19:28]What have scientists discovered by trying to take the joy out of movement? [22:06]Pairing movement with nature (e.g., forest bathing). [24:20]Pairing movement with music. [25:27]How Kelly learned to love indoor cycling (after hating it at first). [26:04]Pairing movement with teamwork/competition. [26:34]Pairing movement with animal companionship. [26:59]Can't dance.

[31:21]Fighting Parkinson's disease with dance at Juilliard. [33:45]How depression and grief work to demobilize and demotivate us by mechanisms eerily similar to Parkinson's disease. [38:19]What's your emotional temperature? Understanding the factors that contribute to your core affect. [39:16]Kelly's take on the modern need for constant stimulation via devices and how it relates to the brain's default state in contrast to different methods like meditation. [42:27]Outside of movement, what other ingredients does Kelly find important for holistic mental self-care? [46:21]What does Kelly hope are the chief takeaways people will remember after reading The Joy of Movement? [48:39]As someone who's spent the majority of her life moving, did Kelly discover and experiment with any movement forms that were new to her during the course of doing research for The Joy of Movement? How does she feel about exercise that takes place outside of her comfort zone? [52:03]Kelly gives us a brief history of the science behind her earlier work,, and how research has changed what we know about stress in recent years.A brief history of the science of stress, why our initial impression of it as a purely negative force has been so hard to shake in spite of being disproven by decades of research, and what Kelly did to set the record straight by writing The Upside of Stress. [53:40]Kelly's thoughts on how I've been coping with stress for the past six months or so, and why society's need to blame every bad thing that happens to us on "stress" hurts more than it helps. [59:25]As a psychiatrist, what does Kelly think of psychedelics as a potential course of treatment? [1:03:05]Parting thoughts, and how to best connect with Kelly.

Welcome to Further, Faster, in association with Montane and hosted by Daniel Neilson. In this episode, we speak to Jon Gupta. He is a mountaineer. A very, very good mountaineer, one who specialises in very very big mountains. But he's also an expedition guide, notably working with a previous interviewee Steve Plain for his 7 Summits project. He's a penchant for more remote, lesser-known mountains. But over the last couple of years, he's also run the Bob Graham round, and the the 430-Yukon Arctic Ultra.. on his second attempt. We chat as Jon was on his way to Chamonix, in his van, to climb, just for himself. At the age of 32, Jon is also going through something that nearly everyone listening to this will recognise - the search for balance. In this podcast, we delve into the choices he makes. The choices of risk and the choices of training, the choices of summits and the choices of life balance. It's a fascinating listen, disarmingly honest, plus he's a lovely fella. Listen in.

He has completed some of the most difficult races in the world, including only recently the Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra, the 430-mile course, and the Montane Spine Race. So far, so impressive, until you learn that he often ‘doubles’ the race. Having completed the Spine Race he simply had a break, turned around and did it all again. Incredible!Yet speaking to Javed Bhatti, his attitude isn’t as crazy as it first seems. There’s a logic to the ‘doubling’, there’s a logic to his preparation, there’s an exploration of the body and mind, and from that and there are deep learnings for him and for us. He’s a buoyant chap, an entertaining and insightful conversationalist, and full of information and inspiration.The rules of the game are ever so slightly different for Javed, and from that, we can all learn.

For many people, the start of a new year is an occasion to re-examine their lives, to set new goals and to give up old habits. Making New Year’s resolutions is something of a social ritual, but we see similar behaviors around other significant dates, as well--such as birthdays and anniversaries and the changing of seasons. And while it can be argued that all of these dates are arbitrary, studies show that they can still give you a head start in achieving your goals. In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we examine the common but not always rational phenomenon whereby people divide their lives into chapters. We look at ways to leverage this phenomenon to make better choices. The episode begins on a riverbank, with a religious rite symbolizing rebirth and renewal. Next, we hear about Ray Zahab’s life changing New Year’s resolution. What began as a simple plan to live a healthier lifestyle ended up taking him on incredible adventures all around the world. Ray is the author of the book Running For My Life. From Ray’s story of personal transformation around an auspicious date, we pivot to a related tendency for people to separate their money into mental accounts. Money, like time, is fungible--one dollar is as useful as any other dollar--and yet people often divide their money into different categories. Why? Nobel laureate and best-selling author Richard Thaler explains the value of this cognitive bias and explores some of the peculiar behaviors people exhibit when they earmark their money for different purposes. And John Beshears of the Harvard Business School describes a study that exposes this bias in the way people perceive the value of grocery store coupons. Finally, Katy Milkman offers additional tips on leveraging these temporal landmarks and personal budgets to help you stick with your resolutions.

Diane’s Wild Idea: To run great distances and do what she loves while raising awareness about epilepsy and other great causes. Running 100 miles is remarkable. Running and winning 100+ mile races as a 58-year old who-has had part of their brain removed is a different level. Diane was a professional tennis player before she had epilepsy, but when she started having seizures, running helped stave them off. Ten years into her disease, she decided to have a risky, radical surgery where doctors removed a part of her brain. Once she healed, she started running, this time much longer distances than ever before. While the epilepsy went away, Diane lost some things with the surgery. Today, she struggles with her sense of time, and she has a hard time with her sense of direction, both integral to long distance trail running.  Running, however has become is her ultimate medicine, and she’s set some incredible records on her journey. She won the infamous Yukon Arctic Ultra, a 430-mile footrace pulling a 50-pound sled through temperatures below 50 degrees for eight days. She climbed South America’s tallest peak. She completed the worlds’ hardest 100-mile race, running for 45 hours straight. She also ran and set record for the 1,000-mile Mountains to Sea Trail, where she traversed the state of North Carolina in just over 22 days for a cause.  In addition to being an athletic force, Diane is a long-time athlete for The North Face. She is also a speaker at events like REI’s Outessa series, which is how I found out about her amazing journey. I love how endlessly positive she is, and how she relates to everyone on and off the trail. Diane is a true survivor, an amazing performer, and she has a wonderful perspective on reaching your own potential. Listen to this episode if:  You’ve ever wanted to run an ultramarathon or a long-distance trail race. You or someone you know suffers from epilepsy. You’re not one to let health issues keep you from the outdoors. You want to reach your full potential. You are curious what it’d be like to miss your sense of time and direction.

He weaves together stories of epic moments that test the limits of human endurance, including Henry Worsley's fatal journey across the Antarctic, the Tor des Geants, an endurance trail race that covers 24,000m of elevation, the epic ride of the Tour de France, and a non-stop 692km race in the Yukon Arctic Ultra.  Underlying these moments of extreme human endurance and details of sport physiology is a simpler story --the narrative of a personal discovery of the author himself. On this week's episode of The Shakeout, we speak with Hutchinson about the intimate stories of his own running successes and failures he shares in Endure and how he discovers that the concept of endurance is at the heart of what it means to be human.

I've spoken to high altitude climbers like Conrad Anker and Ed Viesturs, extreme skiers like Scott Schimdt and ultra marathon runners like Tim Twietmeyer and Dean Karnazes. These men are incredibly tough individuals.  And with humility and grace all have made their mark on the world by pushing their bodies past the breaking point to achieve amazing feats of strength against incredible odds. But I have to tell you that one of the most inspiring stories I've ever heard is that of a woman named Diane Van Deren. Diane is consistently among the top finishers in some of the most rugged and challenging long distance trail running events in the world. She most recently completed the Yukon Arctic Ultra, a 430 mile unsupported race in Alaska along the dogsled route of the Iditarod. As she ran in temperatures 40 degrees below zero, Diane hauled over  50 pounds of food and equipment behind her in a sled. But what's more impressive to me is that this wife and mother of three accomplished this and most of her career highlights after a long and painful battle with epilepsy. This 2007 interview with Diane Van Deren first ran on the outdoor industry podcast SNEWS-Live. Two years later Diane is still going strong and is now traveling the country on a speaking tour. In advance of her appearance here in Madison, I'm rerunning our conversation to share with you her amazing journey.
