Both hosts are well and truly in the groove of training, tackling long runs, hard sessions, parkruns, and hitting the weights too. We also dive into the world of the double-threshold workout day, as Eddie slips a double-day into her week! We've got a V50 Heavy Flex, plus a remarkable feat of mental and physical endurance over at Tales from the Trails. Eddie shares some back to back long run wisdom. Gary likes the idea of a double long-run, but he definitely prefers a rest day in between to ca...
This week we sit down with Laura Watts, fresh off her brilliant run at the Leeds & Liverpool Canal Race. An awesome victory, made even more impressive considering she’s still not fully recovered from her fifth finish at Badwater. We absolutely loved this chilled chat with Laura. From bumping into famous passengers during her day job, to training stories, to what it’s actually like running through Death Valley again and again, to the power of CurraNZ as part of her training and racing, it’...
Eddie’s been busy heading south this week, supporting Lucy Gossage as she storms her way down the Pennine Way on a record breaking FKT. Meanwhile, Gary popped north of the border and treated himself to some glorious East Lothian trails. Over on Strava, the miles are big, the birthday shout‑outs are bumper, and this week’s Tales from the Trails brings a mix of inspiration and a good dose of perspective. Stu & Eddie have a brew with the coaches takeover as we follow Eddies journey to the 20...
We all know nothing is guaranteed in ultra running, and the longer the race, the higher the jeopardy climbs. This week, we share the story of two runners who are no strangers to the sharp end of some of the UK’s toughest events. Both lined up at the 2026 Race Across Scotland, but their races unfolded very differently. For one runner, it ended in an agonisingly close to the finish DNF, for the other, it became a come from behind victory. It was incredibly brave of Anna to share her race, and L...
Gary has been racing! Well… not quite racing, but he definitely wasn’t taking it easy. Either way, he loved his time up on the Moors at the Hardmoors Roseberry Topping Trail Marathon. Eddie’s been in full entertainment mode, and with the kids finally back at school it’s back on the horse, juggling life, training, and trying to squeeze everything in. The coaches step in to help a listener who needs some guidance on fueling multi‑day adventures, perfect timing with the Dragon’s Back Race just a...
As the ballot opens for the 2027 Lakeland 50 & 100, we thought it was the perfect time to spend an hour with one of the main men behind the event, Marc Laithwaite. Marc brings a mix of funny, heartwarming, and genuinely inspiring stories that capture exactly why this race is so special. And beyond the running, the event has now raised over £1,000,000 for charity, which is just incredible. It’s one of the absolute highlights of Gary’s year, and he cannot wait to toe the line again in 2027....
This week we kick things off with two brilliant listener intros, and, believe it or not, both hosts are out there getting after it and building some fitness. It’s all very upbeat at the moment. Long may this new trend continue! We’ve also got a smoking fast potential Dragon looking for advice ahead of a possible 2027 attempt, plus a few taper tips as we roll into a busy autumn race season. If your big day is creeping closer, this one’s for you. You lot have been absolutely crushing it on Stra...
Will Howard joins us on Tea & Trails to share the remarkable story behind his debut at the Lakeland 100. In his first ever crack at the course, Will stormed to 3rd place, announcing himself as one of the freshest, most exciting new names in UK ultra running. From a childhood spent trying every sport under the sun, through modern pentathlon, marathon racing, and a breakthrough ultra win in Minnesota, Will’s journey has somehow, almost inevitably led him to the fells. Will brings a blend of...
