Great chat with Steve about all things live-streaming for ultras. 

We talk about the technicalities of filming big races and what he has planned for the coming race calendar. 
We answered some questions from the audience about who exactly watches the livestreams and also how safe competitors are on course with gps tracking and video updates of locations. 

Hopefully we will hear more from Steve in the future. 

This was a live interview so apologies for the sound quality in places!

In this episode we speak to Fiona Pascall.

If you’re not familiar with Fiona already, then you will be soon. 
Fiona has had a whirlwind introduction to the UK ultra-running scene over the past couple of years. 

During the last 2 years Fiona has gone from Bob Graham mule to Lakes 24 record holder! 
She wins pretty much every race she enters and is fresh from winning
@centurianrunning Wendover Woods 50miler in the last few weeks. 

Obviously we can’t mention Fiona without mentioning the fact that she is the little sister of the legend herself Beth Pascall! 
We speak about what it’s like to seemingly be racing in her shadow, but also the fact that she doesn’t actually feel any pressure to follow in her big sisters footsteps. 

As her coach Martin Cox told me himself…..Fiona is going to do great things in ultra-running! 

Watch this space folks!

In this episode of the Ultrarunning Sam Podcast we speak to Dr Martin Jones - expert in all things sleep!

Martin has spent many years studying the effects of sleep and sleep withdrawal on athletes and soldiers around the world.

We dive into why as ultra- runners we need to focus on the superpower that is sleep and how we can optimise it in our training.

We speak about how to approach multi day events and the inevitable lack of sleep.

We talk power naps and how much sleep is too much in a high pressure race situation.

Martin also gave some tips on how to overcome jetlag when travelling abroad for races across multiple time zones.

A very informative listen!

In this episode of the Ultrarunning Sam Podcast we speak to Andy Blow from Precision Fuel And Hydration.

Andy had a long career in IRONMAN with multiple top ten finishes and an Xterra age group world championship title to his name. But after lots of issues with sodium loss and dehydration he
decided to do some experimenting to try to improve his performance in the heat. 

That was the birth of
Precision Fuel And Hydration!
Over the next decade Andy used his masters degree in science and exercise to build the company that the pros turn to for personalised electrolyte and race fuelling plans.

We speak about his own career and what it taught him. What he would do differently now in hindsight and the leaps that have been made in the electrolyte and race fuelling space in recent years.

We dive into the PFAH products and how they can help you dial in the precision that's been missing from many of our training runs and race day plans.

Andy has a wealth of knowledge for anyone wanting to go further and faster in endurance sports. If you want to learn more about the subjects discussed in this episode, then feel free to follow the links below to find out how PFAH can help you personally achieve the performance you've dreamt about!

On this episode of the Understanding Ultra podcast I speak to Jody Raynsford.

Jody is somewhat of a ultra-running pioneer in that he popularised the MDS, was a vegan runner way before it was trendy and he founded one of the original podcasts about ultra-running - Bad Boy Running!

In this episode we speak about his route into ultras, his career as a running journalist and how he’s now become a marketing genius!

We dive into his book ‘How to start a cult’ and discuss how he and David Hellard manage to make podcasting look easy. 

On a technical note, during the first 10 mins of the recording my internet is rubbish as I’m in a Premier Inn so I miss some of his comments and have to swap to my phone. So apologies in advance for the poor sound from my side. Jody’s however is perfect so don’t be put off!
