Robin and Kate had a great chat with Stephanie Case. This extraordinary woman is so positive, she infects all around her with her obvious love and passion for running ridiculous distances over enormous terrain. However, at the end of the year she has her sights set on something quite different - the Antarctic Ultra where she will not only be the first woman competitor, but she hopes to set a new 24 hour record and go over the 100 miles currently reached at approx 22 hours. We chatted about dnfs, doping, nutrition, mind set and so much more.

We’d also like to wish Stephanie the happiest of birthdays this weekend 🎈

This week, Sage joins us for a good chinwag about all things running. He recently confirmed he won a place in the Cocodona 250 lottery for 2027 and told us that he plans to have an attempt at the Masters 100 mile record at Tunnel Hill in November. We did also touch on doping, but quickly moved on to more important things such as Sage’s first Youtube video; a satirical review on Nipple Tips! One of the reasons we love Sage is his light hearted side alongside his more serious training content and it was great having him on.

We chat to Luke and Harry; two Lake District lads who do some epic runs. Harry recently broke the record for the Steve Parr Round so we talk about that; about training and running around the Lakes. Harry will be representing RunUltra at the Lake District Running Festival this weekend and is taking over the RunUltra social accounts as well as Kate, who is in Switzerland reporting on Swiss Canyon Trails. These two are very inspiring to listen to, so I hope you enjoy and are inspired to get out yourself.
