  • Libby Clark - Centurion Winter Dows 200 Podium Finish #183
    Jan 12 2026

    Back in December 2025, Libby Clark stepped up to the start line of the Centurion Winter Downs 200, a 200‑mile Ultra Marathon. Only nine women stood on that start line. Nine! And Libby wasn’t just there to take part… she was there to race!

    Seventy‑five hours, sixteen minutes, and twenty‑seven seconds later, she crossed that finish line to claim a joint second place finish with Jemma Lyons. Today, we get to dive into that journey, the highs, the lows, the hallucinations, the juggle, and the glory. Thanks Harrier Trail Running for sponsoring this weeks interview.

  • Coming Back From A DNF Or A Missed Goal #182
    Jan 9 2026

    This week we bring you a truly inspirational Bob Graham story about grit, resilience, and what running can look like after a DNF or a missed goal. There’s a charity‑boosting Tale from the Trail, Eddie shares some earned wisdom on running while pregnant, and the co‑hosts reveal how they managed to keep their training on track during those final, chaotic days of the Christmas break.

  • Trish Patterson - Winter Dragon's Back FKT #181
    Jan 5 2026

    Every so often, someone comes along who doesn’t just take on a challenge, they redefine what’s possible.

    Today’s guest is exactly that. Trish Patterson is a force of nature: a runner with grit in her bones, fire in her stride, and a story that climbs higher than the ridgelines she loves. Whether she’s chasing FKTs, tackling brutal mountain routes, or simply showing what’s possible when determination meets heart, Trish brings an energy that lifts everyone around her.

    In this episode, we dive into the mindset behind her biggest adventures, the moments that shaped her, and the resilience that keeps her pushing forward when the terrain gets rough and the doubts get loud. Trish doesn’t just run, she inspires, she challenges, and she reminds us why we fall in love with the mountains in the first place.

    Thanks to Fenix Light UK for supporting our January competition. Want to be in with a chance of winning a Fenix HM55R headlamp? Tune in to find out how
