In this episode, I share an update on my achilles rehab, talk about hitting my first 30‑mile week again, and (drum roll please) announce that I’m officially signed up for the River Ayr Way Ultra — my long‑standing nemesis.

I also break down the biggest lessons from completing my UESCA Ultra-Endurance Sports Nutrition Certification, including:

• How our energy systems actually work during ultra training

• Why gut training matters and how to reduce GI distress

• What nutrition periodization looks like in real life

• Simple ways to keep daily nutrition balanced and blood sugar stable

If you’re training for an ultra or just want to fuel your running better, there’s plenty in here you can take straight into your own training and if you are looking for coaching then get in touch on either instagram @davidultrarunner or on Team RunRun where you can also sign up for coaching and get started straight away
