  Laura Watts - Badwater #251

  Sep 13, 20261h 7mS1

  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’s all in there. And of course, Laura rounds things off with a banger of an Instagram song choice.

  2027 Ultra Race Guide #250

  Sep 10, 20261h 9mS1

  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 2027 winter spine race. Stu has been on the podcast before and Eddie has kindle agreed to share her session as she follows The Unbreakable Athlete mindset program. Endurance Mindset Coaching - https://www.endurancemindcoaching.com/ And finally, Eddie and Gary chat through a few race options you might want to pencil in if you were one of the unlucky souls who didn’t make it through the Lakeland 50 or 100 ballot. Or maybe the idea of heading to Cumbria doesn’t float your boat at all. Either way, we’ve got some alternatives that might just spark your next adventure.

  Anna Rutherford - Laura Swanton-Rouvelin - Race Across Scotland #249

  Sep 6, 20261 hourS1

  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 Laura, being the class act she is, handles the whole situation with real grace.

  The Ultimate Warm Up Guide #248

  Sep 3, 202656 minS1

  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 around the corner. And warming up… maybe you do, maybe you don’t, before a run, race, or workout. Whatever your habit, we can probably all agree our rusty bones deserve a proper warm‑up before we ask them to move with purpose. Stick around to the bitter end because Eddie shares some thoughts and ideas that might just change your routine. Over in the Strava club we’ve got a UTMB appearance, and the Lakeland 100 love continues in the Heavy Flex corner.

  Marc Laithwaite - Lakeland 50 & 100 #246

  Aug 30, 20261h 9mS1

  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. And with the race celebrating its 20th anniversary, 2027 promises to be a truly special year.
