Fuel or fail? That’s the make-or-break question every runner faces.

In this no-fluff episode of The Flying RuNR Podcast, the crew dives deep into running nutrition — from pre-run meals that set you up for success to mid-run fuels that keep you flying past the wall, and post-run recovery that actually rebuilds you for your next PB.

Lucia puts donuts on the table (literally 🍩) and sparks one of the most entertaining — and surprisingly science-backed — debates yet. We compare gels vs real food, bananas vs energy chews, sugar hits vs slow-release options, and reveal the common fueling mistakes that quietly sabotage your runs.

Whether you’re training for your first marathon, chasing a new half-marathon time, or just want to feel stronger on everyday runs, this episode delivers practical, real-world endurance nutrition advice you can use immediately. No bro-science, just what actually works for everyday runners.

In this powerful Brisbane-local episode, we sit down with Nicole Jukes – the first (and still only) Australian female to win a Backyard Ultra worldwide. Nicole opens up about her rapid rise from a 2015 10 km starter to ultra distances, her record-breaking 201 km at Dead Cow Gully (30 laps, female record 2022), her win at the States of Origin Last One Standing, and how the relentless "get up every hour" format of backyard ultras mirrors life's toughest moments.

As a qualified lawyer, Master of Law student, single mum of two, neurodivergent runner, and founder of BYU Australia (bringing backyard events Down Under), Nicole shares raw insights on juggling full-time work, parenting, grief recovery, and ultra training. We dive into mental strength strategies, efficient pacing for long-haul endurance, coaching tips for shift workers/mums/perimenopausal women/injured athletes, and why she believes we're all capable of far more than we imagine.

Whether you're chasing your first ultra, navigating life balance, or just need inspiration to "choose to get up," Nicole's story delivers grit, heart, and practical wisdom.

Running every day sounds simple enough… but is it actually a good idea?

In this episode of the Flying RuNR Podcast, we dive into the concept of run streaking — the commitment to run at least one mile (or a set distance) every single day for an extended period of time.

For some runners, streaking becomes a powerful motivator and a way to build consistency. For others, it raises questions around recovery, injury risk, and long-term sustainability.

We explore both sides of the debate and discuss whether running every day is a path to stronger habits — or a shortcut to burnout.

🏃 What is Run Streaking?

Run streaking typically involves running every single day without a break for weeks, months, or even years.

Some runners follow formal streaking rules, such as those recognised by organizations like the United States Running Streak Association, which define a streak as running at least one mile every day.

But beyond the definition lies the bigger question:

Is running every day actually good for you?

✅ The Benefits of Run Streaking

We discuss why many runners choose to start a streak and what keeps them going:

• Consistency and discipline – building a daily habit around movement
  Motivation – the streak itself becomes a powerful reason not to skip a run

• Mental resilience – learning to show up even when conditions aren’t perfect

We talk about the potential downsides, including:

• Lack of recovery time for the body

• Overtraining risk

• Pressure to maintain the streak, even when injured or exhausted

🚑 Possible Problems Runners May EncounterStreaking can also create situations where runners ignore warning signs.

We discuss issues such as:

• Small injuries that become bigger problems

• Running when the body is asking for rest

Some runners thrive with daily running, especially when they keep distances short and listen carefully to their bodies. Others benefit far more from a structured plan that includes dedicated rest days.

Ultimately, the goal is sustainable running that keeps you healthy and enjoying the sport for years to come.

Have you ever tried a run streak?

How long did it last — and what did you learn from the experience?

Running exposes you to a lot of things — beautiful sunrises, supportive crowds, personal breakthroughs.

But sometimes… it also exposes you to the very strange.

In this episode of the Flying RuNR Podcast, Tim is back in the host chair and is joined by Pieta, Tony and Tara for a fun and slightly bizarre conversation about the weirdest things we’ve seen while running.

From unusual race-day sights to strange food on course and some truly questionable training advice, this episode proves that runners experience things the rest of the world never sees.

👟 What We Talk About

🏁 The Weirdest Thing We’ve Seen in a Race

Races can bring out the best in people… and sometimes the most unexpected behaviour.

We share some of the strangest things we’ve witnessed on race day — the kind of moments that make you wonder if you imagined it while running past.

🦶 Minimalist Shoes… or No Shoes at All

Running footwear has evolved a lot over the years, but some runners take it right back to basics.

·         We talk about:

·         Barefoot runners

·         Minimalist footwear

And the surprising places people choose to run without much protection underfoot.

Is it impressive, brave… or just a little bit crazy?

🍕 The Weirdest Food We’ve Seen on Course

Aid stations are usually pretty predictable — water, sports drink, maybe some fruit.

But sometimes races (or spectators) offer something a little more unusual.

We share the strangest food items we’ve ever seen available mid-race and discuss whether any of them might actually work.

📋 The Weirdest Thing We’ve Seen in a Training Plan

Training plans are supposed to guide runners safely to the start line — but every now and then you come across advice that makes you stop and ask:

“Did someone really recommend that?”

We talk about some of the most unusual training suggestions we've seen and discuss what actually makes sense.

😄 The Big Takeaway

Running isn’t just about pace, distance, or finish times.

 It’s also about the stories — the strange moments, unexpected encounters, and things you only ever see when you're out there logging the miles.

💬 We’d love to hear from you:

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen while running?

Let us know and your story might make it into a future episode.

We all have bucket lists a mile long. Majors. Destination races. Iconic courses. Shiny medals.

But here’s the real question: How do we actually decide which races make the cut?

In this episode, we pull back the curtain and share our personal non-negotiables when it comes to choosing races — especially international ones. From logistics to bling, PB potential to pure experience, we break down what makes us say “YES!”… and what makes us walk away.

Because not every race is right for every runner — and that’s okay.

🌍 What We Cover in This Episode1️⃣ The Instant Yes or Hard NoWhen considering an international race, what’s the very first factor that seals the deal — or shuts it down immediately? We talk about red flags, gut feelings, and the one thing that matters most before anything else.

2️⃣ Race-Day Non-NegotiablesWeather. Elevation. Terrain. Course profile.

What are we willing to tolerate… and what’s a complete deal-breaker?

From pancake-flat PB courses to challenging, scenic adventures — we share where we each draw the line.

3️⃣ Reputation & Community VibesHow much do reviews, race reputation, and runner culture influence our decision?

Is a well-organised event with strong community spirit more important than a flashy location? And how much weight do we give to other runners’ experiences?

4️⃣ Logistics Matter (More Than You Think)Before we click “Register,” we look at:

• Accommodation availability
  Ease of transport
  Course support
  Aid stations
  Crowd energy
  Safety
  Because sometimes the difference between a dream race and a stressful one comes down to the details.

Are we chasing:

• A PB?
  A bucket-list experience?
  Incredible bling?
  A scenic destination?
  A meaningful milestone?
  We share how our goals influence our race calendar — and why different seasons of running call for different types of events.

Choosing a race isn’t just about distance. It’s about alignment.

With your goals. With your values. With the kind of experience you want to have.

Because at the end of the day, it’s about more than miles.

💬 We’d love to hear from you: What’s your biggest race-day non-negotiable? What makes you instantly say yes to an event?

Let’s continue the conversation.

Wherever you are, run your race at your pace

In this episode, we dive into a topic that matters deeply to so many runners but doesn’t always get the spotlight it deserves — the Back of the Pack.

We introduce and explore the BPI – the Back of the Pack Index, a framework designed to assess how welcoming, inclusive and supportive races really are for runners at every pace.

Because let’s be honest — it’s easy to celebrate podiums. But what about the final finishers?

🏃‍♀️ What We Cover in This Episode

1️⃣ What makes a race truly Back-of-the-Pack friendly?

We discuss the key ingredients that make slower runners feel seen, supported and celebrated — from cut-off times and course support to finish-line atmosphere and communication.

2️⃣ If we were Race Organisers… what would we do differently?

We step into the shoes of race directors and share practical, realistic ideas to make every runner feel important — especially those finishing towards the back.

From:

• Medal ceremonies that don’t pack up early

• Aid stations that stay fully stocked

• Finish lines that feel like a celebration, not a wind-down

• Clear and compassionate cut-off messaging

…to the small touches that make a massive emotional difference.

3️⃣ Introducing the BPI (Back of the Pack Index)We explain the thinking behind the BPI and how it helps shine a light on inclusivity in race design.

You can explore the full BPI here:👉 https://flyingrunr.com/bpi-back-of-the-pack-index/

Why is it Important!

The back of the pack isn’t the “least important” part of a race.

It’s often:

• The most determined

• The most courageous

• The most inspiring

These runners trained just as hard. They paid the same entry fee. They showed up.

So the question becomes — does the race show up for them?

Key TakeawayA truly great race isn’t defined by its elite field.

It’s defined by how it treats its final finisher.

If you’ve ever finished near the back…If you’ve ever worried about cut-offs…If you’ve ever felt like the event was winding down before you crossed the line…

This episode is for you.

Let us know your thoughts — and tell us which races get it right.

Wherever you are, run your race at your pace
