The 1% Better Runner with DLake

This episode we time travel a bit to finally tell a descriptive, fun and captivating story via the wonders of sound design and audio production! The story is about co-host Phil's attempt and journey to race and complete a 100km Ultra Marathon trail run in the Blue Mountains, Sydney, Australia.

We have his partner Kat helping out with the narration and start out with his night before pre-race interview. We then work into the day of the race with some awesome in race moments grilling Phil while he's starting to struggle.

Listen on to rest to hear if he finishes and if he does, in the time he thought he would.

NOTABLE QUOTES

9:58 - I usually just tell myself a story in longer races that it’s only the next 5k. I chunk the race down. - Phil

22:30 - when you cramp in endurance sport it’s because your body hasn’t gone as hard or as long or both. - Daren

In this episode we have a special guest, physiotherapist extraordinaire Paula Luke!

Paula drops some serious knowledge on everything from the common mistakes she sees endurance athletes making, why being a bit stiff might not be all that bad for trail runners, to the reasons why continued learning and development is critical for physiotherapists just out of their base training. This is one you’re not going to want to miss!

This season is a bit interesting as we are taking a zoomed in, focused approach and tracking Phil’s journey to completing the UTA100 kilometre ultra trail n race in May. 

We are looking at training for and racing this event as a way of extracting some core lessons that you can take away as apply to your own life. Learning from the successes and failures.

And More!

Moving ahead this season we will be covering topics such as;

• Mindset of doing something you’ve never done before
• Testing for success. H
• A bit of Race coverage, raw in the moment experience

It’s no secret that we are big believers in the power of the mind when it comes to achieving goals, both athletic or otherwise, and in living a happy, full life.

In this episode we dig into Stoicism, a philosophy that dates back hundreds of years, but is still as relevant today as it was when it was conceived.

We are taking a little break from the norm this episode with Phil flying solo with an interview… and what an interview!

Anna-Marie Watson is an ultra-endurance athlete who regularly achieves podium positions and pretty much anything she enters. Her most notable successes include placing 7th lady (and in the top 100 finishers overall) at the Ultra Tour de Mont Blanc. This 170km trail race has 10,000m of vertical ascent (and descent!) takes the average hiker 10 days to complete whereas Anna-Marie finished in 28 hrs 32 mins!!!

She has also completed the notorious Marathon Des Sables twice placing 2nd lady in 2015 and 5th lady in 2018. This multi-stage event in the Sahara Desert is the equivalent of six marathons in six days and described as the”toughest footrace on earth” by the Discovery Channel and”more hellish than hell” by Sir Ranulph Fiennes who completed the event in the same year.

She’s also an outstanding high performance coach running her business ‘Reach for More’.

There is way more to unpack here – so jump in and listen!

While we don’t believe in New Years resolutions, but you might. 

Listen to a throwback of our first episode on good goals. It’s a great place to start if you are into a new year and a new you mentality.

It’s a cool refresher as the first episode really sets the foundation for who and what we are trying to do with Master of Some Podcast.

We appreciate the love and support from you and have some cool stuff in store for the new year and beyond!

-----

And we are live! In episode 1, (or unofficially, ‘episode 0’… because it sounds cool) we, (Daran Lake and Phil Cross) introduce ourselves, the concept of ‘Master of Some’ and we talk on a foundational meta-skill that lies at the core of mastering anything – goal setting.

This episode we have Daren’s animated and dynamically interesting fitness journey story or as he calls it “Getting Healthy, Staying Fit, and using data to create habits that last a lifetime”. A mouthful but he wouldn’t have it any other way - #ThatsWhatHeSaid

Just like his title we dive into all the nitty-gritty on how he made a healthy version of himself when he realised he didn’t even know what a healthy version of himself was (from an analytics point of view). And this actually has a benefit value for you if you are struggling to keep healthy habits.

Lots to unpack and as usual a warning - that there is some adult language in here. Please be aware of who and where you listen to with this.
