by Still Running Strong

Winter Running When You'd Rather Stay in Bed
Email us Cold, dark, pouring rain and a run on the plan. If your first instinct is to negotiate with the duvet, you are not broken, you are human. We get real about what winter does to motivation, why "just be disciplined" is rarely helpful, and how tiny changes can make the difference between going out and giving up. We also share some honest life stuff from the running trenches. Dawn is dealing with a long-term ankle injury and the gut punch of being told ultra running may be off the table...

Running in the Dark: How to Beat the Night-Time Nerves (and How to Feel Safer)
Email us We kick off season two with a proper catch-up on training highs and injury lows, plus a look at what storms and standout performances reveal about the sport right now. Then we get practical and psychological about running in the dark, from mandatory kit like foil blankets to a mindset framework that helps you build confidence safely. • Becky’s Achilles and knee flare-up plus a reset with physio and new coaches • Strength training that is slow, controlled and running-specific p...

A Conversation with Kristin Tegtmeier Higgins, Director of Her Ultra: Women, Adventure and the Power of the Trails
Email us This episode is sponsored by Her Ultra. A Conversation with Kristin Tegtmeier Higgins, Director of Her Ultra: Women, Adventure and the Power of the Trails We sit down with film director Kristin Tegtmeier Higgins to talk about Her Ultra, the documentary following eight women taking on a 250km multi-stage race in Lapland — and why the stories of “ordinary” runners can be every bit as compelling as those of elite athletes. Kristin takes us behind the scenes of making the film: following...

DNF Does Not Mean Failure
Email us Three letters can undo months of training if we let them: DNF. We’ve both seen how “did not finish” gets translated into something far harsher, and today we slow it right down and tell the truth about what those letters can and cannot mean in ultra running and trail running. We start with the real-world choices that sit behind a result, like Dawn dropping down to a shorter race distance to protect an ankle and keep her long-term running intact. Becky shares what it’s like to return ...

Post-Race Blues? Why we feel so low after a big race.
Email us Most of us have enjoyed the elation of finishing a race and breaking across the finish line, and that euphoria can last minutes, hours, sometimes a couple of days. But sometimes we can unexpectedly feel low a few days later. We have both felt that post-race emotional drop, and we want to say it out loud: it is common, it is human, and it deserves as much attention as sore legs and tired feet. We dig into what sits underneath “post-race blues” in trail running and ultra running. Yes,...

The Amazing Disappearing Women — Midlife, Identity & the Need to Run
Email us You cross a finish line after an ultra and everyone expects a euphoric rush. But what if you feel proud and relieved, yet also a bit flat, sore, and quietly confused about why you ever signed up? That question sparks a proper, honest chat between us, Becky and Dawn, about what really keeps runners running when the sport is hard, time-consuming, and sometimes downright miserable in the moment. We share the most resonant reasons we heard back from our community: running as freed...

Courage Becky! Finishing UTMB OCC
Email us You can do everything right and still have a moment where you want to cry on the side of a mountain. Becky has just finished UTMB OCC in Chamonix, and we sit down while it’s still raw: the heat, the technical trail, the constant concentration, and the strange mix of pride and exhaustion that hits when you finally stop moving. We also talk about what it felt like having people track the race live, sending messages, and willing her to the finish from back home. We get practical about ...

Chasing The OCC Finish Line - the real logistics of a mountain ultra in midlife
Email us Chamonix is buzzing and Becky is right in the middle of it, number collected, tracker ready, and a 62k UTMB mountain ultra on the horizon. We talk about what it’s like when the town itself becomes the venue: runners drifting through the streets, crowds clapping people home, and that moment where you suddenly feel the weight of what you’re about to do. From there we zoom out to something that matters far beyond one race: sponsorship and representation in trail running. Why do brands ...
