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.

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.

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.

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.

This week we’re joined by physics teacher and West Highland Way – Great Glen FKT holder, Freya Shepherd.
It’s an incredible story of learning, grit and resilience. After her first attempt ended early at Fort William, Freya dusted herself off, rallied an army of friends and family, and went back out to complete the full 175‑mile journey in 2 days, 15 hours, 43 minutes and 16 seconds.
She talks us through the highs, the lows, the wobbly moments, the hallucinations, the power of community, and of course, every snack that kept her moving forward.

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. Truly incredible stuff.

We are so lucky to bring you the brilliant Stu Edwards this week. Stu is part of the team behind the Reverse London Marathon, and if you’re wondering what that is, you’re in for a treat. It’s an incredible community who gather in Trafalgar Square the night before the London Marathon and run the entire route in reverse.
It’s a magical way to see the city at night, and it’s all wrapped up in some seriously impressive fundraising.
Stu brought huge energy to our chat, and his enthusiasm shone through from start to finish.

This week on the Tea & Trails podcast we’re talking all things Stair Stepper, how to use it, when to use it. 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. We’ve got a cracking Tales from the Trail and a Heavy Flex lined up too.

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.

The Hardmoors 200 is looming ever closer, and Gary is… well, wobbling again. Not the training week he dreamed of, but definitely the one he got. Meanwhile, Eddie has been spinning every solo‑parenting plate in the cupboard while still grinding through her Spine Race prep. At least the trails delivered some glorious miles, and the sun finally showed up with a long‑overdue dose of vitamin D.
For Brew with the Coaches we dive deep into how to pick a home treadmilll, and we’re sharing our best recovery tips for all you London Marathon legends who are still hobbling around.
And over on Strava? Smoking‑fast running, big miles, and plenty of heavy flexes lighting up the feed.

This week, we’re joined by inov‑8 ambassador James Gibson, it’s his very first time on the show. So we take the chance to hear how he found his way into running, and how the high fells became his happy place.
In recent years he’s completed some of the UK’s toughest mountain challenges, including a winter Double Bob Graham Round, if that wasn’t enough, he’s also set a record on the Double Paddy Buckley Round.
We chat through both of these enormous winter efforts, what drew him to them, how he prepared, and what it actually feels like to push through two full rounds back‑to‑back when most people would be calling it a day after one.
Despite these world‑class performances, James remains famously low‑key. He’s a running coach, a Mountain Leader, and someone who has spent years guiding people up Scafell Pike and across the Lakeland fells. That background, long days on the hills, carrying weight, moving steadily through rough ground has shaped him into the resilient, quietly determined athlete he is today.

Both hosts are feeling a bit bruised this week. Gary’s wrestling with the mental load & that feeling when training somehow leaks into every corner of your life, and Eddie’s running on fumes, her usually eternal mojo having wandered off for a little holiday. Thankfully, you lot are bringing the inspiration with some absolutely mind‑blowing Strava updates.
Fueling for a road marathon has been a hot topic lately, so we’re diving in with some tips and the strategies that have actually worked for us over the years.
And in this week’s Tales from the Trails, things get emotional. Listener Colin Young shares a beautiful, heavy flex tribute to David Parish, who sadly passed away recently. It’s heartfelt, powerful, and a reminder of the incredible community we’re lucky to be part of.
And good news, our friends at Protein Rebel are supplying the prize for April’s competition. Tune in for all the details.

This week, we’re joined by Kitty‑Leigh Oxley for a deep dive into the 2026 Community Traverse. The Community Traverse is a race with an extraordinary story, born from the ashes of the cancelled Northern Traverse, it became a shining example of what happens when community takes action.
Kitty, David, and a band of loyal and dedicated volunteers pulled together at short notice, some even giving up their own race so others could still experience the magic of the Wainwrights Coast‑to‑Coast National Trail.
We chat about the seed of the idea, how it grew into a fully-fledged event, the joy of making it happen, and what exciting plans are already brewing for 2027.

Another big week on the trails for our not so dynamic duo. Gary treated himself to a jaunt along the Yorkshire coast & Eddie is getting very familiar with her big, heavy Spine Race pack…
The coaches dive into the world of AI training apps, what they’re good for & what they’re not.
Gary and Eddie also tackle the age‑old question, what trail running kit do you actually need? Spoiler, it’s less than you think, unless you’re Eddie, in which case it’s apparently everything that fits in a Ultimate Direction pack
We’ve got another sensational Strava Club, plus a nail‑biting Lakeland 100 Tale from the Trail.
And good news, our friends at Protein Rebel are supplying the prize for April’s competition. Tune in for all the details.

Today we’re sharing the mics with the brilliant Sophie Power, British ultrarunner, Guinness World Record holder, and a leading voice for women in sport.
We cover a lot of ground in this one: going viral at UTMB, the origins of She Races, the brand‑new She Races Trail Series, and her inspiring new book The Power Within. And of course, because it’s Tea & Trails, we don’t shy away from the big, important questions… like what’s Sophie’s go‑to trail snack.
It’s an episode packed with laughter, honesty, and a healthy dose of inspiration. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Sophie Power!

Did someone say Montane Summer Spine Challenger North? Eddie has plugged that Northern Traverse shaped hole in her life with another epic northern challenge. Roll on June.
Not to be outdone, Gary’s been busy entering races too. He’ll be on the start line for the 5 and 2 Valleys in September, hoping to join the very small club of runners who’ve completed all the distances.
We chat about how we fuel our long runs, and Eddie shares some cracking wisdom on weaving cycling into your training.
And good news, our friends at Protein Rebel are supplying the prize for April’s competition. Tune in for all the details.

Fi Pascall joins us this week for a wide‑ranging chat about Fell & Trail Running. Fresh off her record breaking win at the Centurion 100 Hills Ultra, Fi is deep into her build‑up for the 2026 Western States 100. Before then, she’ll also be on the start line at Lake Sonoma.
We cover everything from the Bob Graham Round and the George Fisher Tea Round to training, Western States 2025, and her plans for Western 2026.

This week we’re talking about rest days & why they matter, why they’re so hard to take, and why your body (and your future self) will be grateful when you finally ease off the gas.
There’s big news in the running world too. London Marathon are considering a Saturday and Sunday marathon. We share our thoughts… is this fun times or sad times?
Brew with the Coaches is back. If you’re diving into the bushes every time you head out for a run, you’re not alone. It’s a common problem, and our coaches tackle the sensitive subject with plenty of care, and hopefully some helpful advice.
Both Eddie and Gary had huge days out in the Lakes this week. They, along with the Northern Traverse runners, got absolutely battered by the weather. The DOMS are very, very real.
And as always, you lot have been busy. Our STRAVA club continues to be the daily dose of inspiration we all need.

This week on the Tea & Trails Podcast, Eddie is on the hunt for a new race to fill the Northern Traverse‑shaped hole in her calendar, and Gary has been back on the start line, this time proudly wearing the blue and white of division 3 champions, Sedgefield Harriers.
The hosts also share how they fuel their week. Spoiler: it involves a lot of snacks.
Our listeners are absolutely smashing it over on Strava, and the coaches tackle one of the most common questions they get asked: How do I train for a hilly ultra when I only have access to a treadmill?
