Another week closer to the 2026 Northern Traverse, and Eddie and Gary are deep in the trenches of training, some days fun times, some days sad times, all of it inching them forward. Listeners are in the thick of their own big‑race prep too, including one brave soul wondering whether you can smash a road marathon and then step up to an ultra. Winter bugs are everywhere as well, and everyone seems to be sniffling through their long runs. When should you ease off, and when is it fine to crack on? Eddie and Gary share what’s worked for them.

Thanks to Precision Fuel & Hydration for supporting our February competition. Head over to instagram for all the deets. Good luck!
