David joins Robin and Kate for a fun chat about all things running. We focus on Badwater; the race is coming up in a couple of weeks time and a new film “The Long Way Round”, by Max McGee, premiers on YouTube this Friday, which follows David’s own journey to the race in 2025. We learn about how David got into trail running, started Camino Ultras and the community he’s built around that. And if you want to learn what gaffer tape and vaseline have in common, listen on. It was a huge pleasure chatting to David; it’s a long episode but we had so much more to ask him, so he’s definitely coming back. Possibly the nicest guy in ultra running.

After the announcement of Spine taking over Cape Wrath from Ourea Events, I invited Chris and Debs on to talk about their own unique event on the Cape Wrath trail. We discuss how it came into being and Debs own long experience of the original race on both sides of the fence. What emerged sounds like it will be a very different, albeit highly professional, challenge (not race!) which they want to make as accessible as possible for anyone wanting to explore the Cape Wrath Trail under a safe umbrella. Debs’ passion shines through and it was clear to me that while they agreed it was frustrating to have another event, they are cheerful and optimistic about theirs.

When Kate saw Centurion Running’s reel following and celebrating the last finisher of the SDW100 around the track, she knew she wanted to invite her on the Podcast. This wasn’t Sue’s first 100 and we talk about why she was last, how she battled an injury at 40 miles and an ongoing niggle which stopped her running at 66 miles. Where many would throw in the towel, she kept going, chasing cut offs and in spite of everything she finished.
We also touch on what happened at Biotropika and a possible new Backyard record plus Western States starts tomorrow and we are cheering on the Brits, including Fi Pascall.

Robin and Kate had a great chat with Stephanie Case. This extraordinary woman is so positive, she infects all around her with her obvious love and passion for running ridiculous distances over enormous terrain. However, at the end of the year she has her sights set on something quite different - the Antarctic Ultra where she will not only be the first woman competitor, but she hopes to set a new 24 hour record and go over the 100 miles currently reached at approx 22 hours. We chatted about dnfs, doping, nutrition, mind set and so much more.
We’d also like to wish Stephanie the happiest of birthdays this weekend 🎈

This week, Sage joins us for a good chinwag about all things running. He recently confirmed he won a place in the Cocodona 250 lottery for 2027 and told us that he plans to have an attempt at the Masters 100 mile record at Tunnel Hill in November. We did also touch on doping, but quickly moved on to more important things such as Sage’s first Youtube video; a satirical review on Nipple Tips! One of the reasons we love Sage is his light hearted side alongside his more serious training content and it was great having him on.

Kate chats to Kirstie and Luke about their race in the Arctic last month. They talk about the cold and how dangerous it can be, what it’s like to ski and hike pulling a pulk and how they joined up to finish the race together. Competing in such an extreme environment, they discussed their mindsets on the event and the fact that despite putting aside all thoughts of competitiveness, they managed to podium.
Apologies for Luke’s audio at the start, but he does manage to improve it later on.

In this episode, I’m joined by Debbie Martin-Consani and Siobhan Brennan and together we delve into a subject that goes far beyond ultra racing; the menopause.
We talk openly about the causes, the symptoms, the impact on training and recovery and we tackle the practical realities: HRT, supplements, sleep, nutrition and how to navigate performance when your body is changing. It’s an honest, grounded discussion about what it really looks like to keep showing up regardless of age and ability.
And we finish with a message that applies whether you’re chasing podiums or simply trying to stay consistent through a tough season: be steady, be patient and above all, be kind to yourself.
