Like many before him, Jamie Hildage, was drawn from the UK to the rich red earth of Australia. He has since been tearing up that red earth with 2 completions of a 530km epic from Alice Springs to Uluru, simply named ‘The Track’.

Jamie is a stage racing veteran and is in the middle of completing a multi-day ultramarathon on 5 different continents tackling conditions from jungle, to snow capped mountains, to the desert. Haddy chat’s to him about the practicalities of stage racing and the gear and nutrition challenges this style of racing presents.

We delve into Jamie’s expertise in positive psychology and the benefits of this mindset across business, family and endurance sport. We also discuss Jamie’s upcoming event – The Hard Way Home – where he’ll run 1100km in 11 days from the NSW/SA border to Bondi Beach to raise money for the Australian Childhood Foundation.

We touch base with new Podcast Partner ‘RAIDLIGHT’ and chat with Alex about their range of incredible trail kit.

Enjoy!
