COACHES CORNER!

In this episode, coach Wozza (Warren Wrenkel) returns to talk about the latest happenings in the trail and ultra coaching worlds.

We dive into the 1:59.30 marathon world record at London Marathon. Around that subject, we also talk about Joe Wicks fuelling advice, the effect that super shoes has and the progression of road running over time.

We talk about coaching slower runners and how to get them moving faster through drills and plyometrics. We talk about training for mountaineering and ultras concurrently.....and we discuss Jon Albon's 90g of sugar water for cheap fuelling.

Finally we discuss what gels we've tried lately and our opinions on taste and the science behind hydrogels.

All good stuff!

Exclusive interview with Sam Heward from ULTRA X about buying up the Dragons Back and Northern Traverse!

Sam firstly tells the story of UX and how they came into the fortunate situation to be able to save the two iconic races. He talks about UX 7 year journey to put on world class multi-day events all over the world and how their experience put them in the position to take on DB and NT.

In this episode I lean heavily on the Home Trails WhatsApp community to set me ups with the questions that YOU the trail running community want answered...

Will the races be changed beyond recognition?

Will the races be more expensive?

Will the iconic routes change?

Most importantly.......will the food still be the same?

All this and more is answered in this episode. Hopefully we managed to cover all bases, so give it a listen and share with your community.

EPISODE 200!!!!

In this landmark episode I speak to returning guest Damian Hall.

Damo is no stranger to the podcast and has appeared in numerous episodes over the years.....This time however, it's not to talk about The Spine Race or Barkley (although they do obviously get a mention) This time we talk about his new book, RUN FOREVER! "The secret to becoming an ageless athlete"

We dive into the book and how it came to be. We talk about the in-depth information that he's gathered to help all of us oldies still wanting to perform at our best. I speak about how the book has helped me personally with goals for this year and we chat about some of the extraordinary examples of "Ageless Aces" that are still performing at the highest level in our sport!

Pete Stables and Rene Mcgregor contribute to the book with expert help in strength training and nutrition.

A great read as always. You can find a copy on amazon and he's done an audiobook version for those of us with age related bad eyesight!
