  Ep 28. Huw quit running? Facing big scary goals, dealing with DNFs, and what fuels the passion for running

  Sep 29, 202627 min

  This week it's just Huw. With Alice out for work, he's taking on the listener questions solo. He's been trying something different on his long runs, and walks us through how a hot 20-miler in Texas went. Then it's on to your questions: what really fuels a passion for running, how to face a big scary goal like a first 100-miler, and dealing with DNFs in running and in life. Huw also gets asked the closest he's ever come to quitting running. Plus, a listener's daughter has some questions after hearing Huw get numbers from strangers on Strava.

  Episode #27

  Ep 27. Huw has exciting news! Plus runners’ pet peeves, and can you negative split a 100-miler?

  Sep 22, 202634 min

  Alice is three weeks out from the Chicago Marathon and in her last big week of training. Huw shares his big plans coming up in 2027. Alice's afternoon run clashes with school closing time, and a pavement full of scooters sets us off on our running pet peeves. Then we go down the rabbit hole about negative splitting a 100-miler, sparked by a friend’s comment. We close on an old UTMB story and Huw's pacing plan for November.

  Episode #26

  Ep 26. What Huw learned from combing through 14 years of training data (assisted by AI..). And find we are in violent agreement on what actually matters for runners

  Sep 15, 202646 min

  This week, Huw has been up past his bedtime feeding 14 years of training data into an AI, and he walks us through what came back. Alice ran the Big Half with 25,000 other people, and Huw has a different view about her finish time. Then a listener asks us to rank the things that actually matter for runners, which gets Alice going about people fuelling long runs on low-sugar drinks, and the man who turned up to a race having eaten one banana.

  Ep 25. The line between healthy vs unhealthy ambition, training camps, and building grit at 41

  Sep 8, 202647 min

  This week, Alice has the Big Half on Sunday, her last race before Chicago, and a Strava crown on a segment she’s fairly sure nobody else has ever attempted. Huw is back from two weeks in Wales and already thinking about his next trip away to train, which takes us into a deep chat about training camps - what they look like, what the point of them actually is, and more. Then it’s on to listeners’ questions. The first: where do we draw the line between healthy and unhealthy ambition, from someone whose partner reckons he’s already crossed it. The second comes from a 41-year-old who took up running two years ago and still fights the instinct to quit when things get uncomfortable - can that kind of grit be built later if you didn’t grow up with parents who pushed you?

  Episode #24

  Ep 24. The psychology of tanking on race day. Plus getting faster in your fifties, Huw's new coach, and a Leadville comeback

  Sep 1, 202643 min

  This week, Huw has a new coach and a hundred-miler on the calendar for the first time in two years. He gets into why he picked this one. Alice went under 39 at a 10K in Battersea, fuelled by half a Monster and very little sleep afterwards. After two marathons that went sideways, a call with a sports psychologist has her wondering whether the problem is her legs at all. She may have just discovered what really went wrong. We get into whether you can still get faster in your forties and fifties, sparked by a chat about a 52-year-old who beat Alice at that 10K and then apologised for being slow. Huw shares an inspiring Leadville comeback story about his friend's first 100-miler. And we close on a Strava message from a listener who's pretty sure we talked about him on the podcast and is pleased about it.
