Runners On Trail

A year ago we published our first podcast. It was all about what could go wrong on a trail run.  You would have thought we would have learned from that…

In June Thane attempted the 268 miles of the Pennine Way as he took on The Montane Spine Fusion – the summer version of the classic Spine race. He bought new trail shoes the week before. What could possibly go wrong?!

The Thames Path 100 mile race is pretty flat, but that definitely does not make it easy.  Hear how Thane and Antony fared on a blisteringly hot weekend in May 2018.

What motivates us to train and race? Is it for fitness, for the personal challenge or for something else? Thane gets all geeky about it and Antony exposes the truth about Thane’s alleged mid-pack status. Plus there’s trail talk from Thane’s running of the Green Man Ultra.

This episode we're talking kit: what we wouldn't want to be without & what we think is brilliant. And you'll get to hear an unrealistic Thane ask for a gin & tonic at an aid station during a cold and windy Weston-Super-Mare Two Bays Tough Ten.

The Transvulcania Ultra is amazing! Amazing views, amazing people, amazing trails. Hear our thoughts on training for it, travel to and from it, and running it. And did we mention that it’s amazing?

Hear our thoughts on getting ready for races, from training plans and what to do if you get ill or injured, through to making sure you have the right footwear & kit, nutrition, post run recovery, and a little more besides.  And we chat to some people as we run up and down a big hill in Somerset.

There are some amazing races around the world. Find out the top 10 we'd like to do before we pop our clogs.

In September 2017 Thane ran the 102 miles of the Cotswold Way Century. Hear about his experience of the race and from some of the people that he ran with. This episode is sick!

It’s about what happens when it doesn't go so well on the trail, from blisters through to upset stomachs, and how to keep motivated. It's truly full of poo.
