  • This week I chatted to Gemma Holloway. I met Gemma on the very snowy and cold Wildheart Runners anniversary meet. When she told me about her couch to 50k journey AND that she was a Sports and Performance Dietitian I couldn't not invite her on the podcast - food and running - that what it's all about isn't it.


    What we talked about:

    Early beginnings and meeting strange people in car parksPushing the boundaries to see hat might happenChallenges and working on her relationship with foodTrying ultras (and getting hooked)Plans on going that little bit furtherWe also started down the rabbit hole with nutrition

    Key Takeaways:

    Dont restrict your fuelling, especially for longer runs where you need it moreFinding your tribe (or tribes) that will be there and support you in your running journeyListen to your body and be OK with changing your plans for the right reasons - focus on the longer terms goals that you have

    Resources Mentioned:

  • This week, I chatted with Andy Berry, one of Britain's best trail and ultra runners with an incredible running CV. He has a bunch of course records, fastest known times and podium places - way too many to mention in this intro but we delve deep during the episode. We also spoke about his approach to the psychological aspects of the sport and what drives his relentless pursuit of his goals.


    I also managed to recruit another crew member for my Bob Graham round (something I either need to stop doing - or just go and do the BG) - nae pressure :)


    What we talked about:

    How Andy got into running from a pub conversation and disillusionment about Sunday football.The change in his philosophy that has led to better results and really enjoying the sportHow he has worked on his mindset when working towards goalsPlans for the future and dreaming bigBalancing all of the training at an elite level with family life

    Key Takeaways:

    Don't be scared to fail - welcome it - if you never try you will never knowYou can choose the attitude that you take to the stations you are inGet clear on your values and hold yourself accountable to them

    Resources Mentioned:

  • This week, I talked with Peter O'Brien, a Doctor living in Ayrshire whom I met when I was in the Lakes for a training weekend.


    After I hashed out a very crude science lesson on training (apologies, you may want to skip that bit) we talked about:


    What we talked about:

    How covid became the time that he started running and looked to just stay fit and functionalHow he found enjoyment in entering events (and the slippy slope that followed)Taking to the hills with events like the King and most recently the OMMSome of the different skills and thinking when you hit the high hills and wilder eventsHow the boundaries to the weekly training allows for flexibility for individual sessions (a theme that we have talked about before)What's up next

    Key Takeaways:

    Use events to give you the focus to train, and depending on the event, to train specificallyFind the type of events that you enjoy - you don't always have to be pushing yourself to breaking point in each raceThink about what skills you might need in future events and practice early (e.g. navigation)

    Resources Mentioned:

    Asics and Salomon shoes, features and merino socks, Ultiate Direction race packgels/fuelling: my fave - voom bars plus tailwind with some chia power bars thrown in

  • This week, I talk with Ayrshire local Steve Daye. Steve has recently burst onto the ultra scene, but his 2022 debut ultra was years in the making.


    What we talked about:

    Steve's background and how he has built his (very speedy) running base up over the yearsHow he thinks about and selects future racesHow he combines a busy, physical job with trainingWhat he has learned from being at the sharp end of racesHow he is continuing to learn how to translate his excellent running to longer ultra-distance events

    Key Takeaways:

    Speed is a really useful component to any runner, regardless or the distance that you are planning to runCreating predictability in some of the core events you race, and your training allows for flexibility elsewhereRest is critical performing your best

  • This week we talk to Basil Heaney, an accomplished ultrarunner who co-founded the charity Into Ultra.


    Basil was a latecomer to ultrarunning but has slowly crawled his way up to being a mid/back-pack runner finishing many gnarly multi-day races in the UK and Alps but also with an impressive collection of DNFs too. No GB vest or FKT but has small corner in the record books of being only person (foolish enough) to complete the Spine and Arc of Attrition back-to-back.


    In this episode, we talk about:

    How basil came into the sportHow he selects the races that he wants to do (hint, if it is tougher, or longer then it's a yes)The difference between the distances and what makes 200+ mile races special, in aWhy the charity Into Ultra was formed and what it's missionHow you and others can get involved (and probably should)The impact that Into Ultra has had on people

  • Flying solo this week and I thought I would take the opportunity to talk about a couple of areas that I've heard people talking about


    Ultrarunning is as much a mental game as it is physical so I cover mindset so I look at:

    A working definition of mindsetHow you create evidence of the person you areHow you maintain focused attention on your behavioursHow mindset is important for resilience in ultras

    It's also the time of the season when many people have done a couple of races one of which might have been their longer 'A' race.


    What happens then?


    Yup, it's time to recover so I cover some of the basics in terms of:

    Recovery during training blocksRecovery after big races, especially ones that are harder than you've done beforeThe role of the nervous system and Heart Rate Variation (HRV)Using metrics on your fitness trackersSome (very important) basics on recoveryIce baths
