Trail & ultra running from Wild Ginger Running

Do you worry about going over on an ankle while running off-road? Coach and physio Tim Pigott from HP3 Coaching has the answers, and it turns out, wobble boards just don't cut it for trail and ultra runners - we talk concentration, technique, rehab & prehab strength exercises, plyometric moves, shoes and more!

ABOUT OUR TIM

In 2000 a car on the wrong side of the road, overtaking on a blind summit, crashed into coach Tim's car leaving him in a coma for two weeks and life-threatening injuries that took him years of surgeries and rehab to recover from. He is now mostly held together by metal. Find out more about the accident and his road to recovery here https://www.youtube.com/live/dRzi1AvUNOA

How to be a more resilient runner - with Jen Scotney, author of Running Through the Dark, host of the Resilience Rising podcast, former Human Rights Lawyer and podiuming ultra runner, writer, coach, speaker, yoga teacher and Mountain Leader. Jen's book is a deeply personal account of her journey through grief and pain while dreaming about setting a record on the Pennine Way. It's a story about resilience, about never giving up, and battling through the night and always believing that there will be a new dawn.

Today at midday we’re talking to coach & expert Fran Blackett from Run Like A Haggis about navigation - how it’s easier than you might think, shouldn’t be intimidating or put you off fell and mountain running, some key, basic skills everyone can easily learn and the inspiration to stretch your skills further on a navigation event like a mountain marathon.

So I’m still recovering slowly from bronchitis over the spring and summer, and I’m focusing on my strength work instead of ultra running right now, so I’ve been finding their new gels really useful to give me the energy I need for these sessions. My fave is the chocolate one but it’s also got caffeine in so watch out world! The maple syrup one is also very nice, and caffeine free.

Yikes everybody, so I've somehow managed to book an actual TV celeb for today's live chat at 2pm - it's Patrick Grant, award-winning designer and one of the judges from The Great British Sewing Bee! He has a sustainable, plastic-free clothing company called Community Clothing, all made at a factory in Blackburn with local workers, models and photographers. They have a small range of sportswear ideal for summer running - namely t-shirts, vests, shorts and hoodies. They aren't highly technical garments like SOAR, but they are much lower in price! Like £35 for a t-shirt, normal prices. So this is going to be a super interesting chat.

Thanks so much to Sally Gilson for today’s episode. Four months ago, ultra runner and Wild Ginger Running Patreon Sally badly broke her ankle while on a hike in the Lake District to celebrate her 50th birthday. The damage was so bad she had to be stretchered off the hill by Keswick Mountain Rescue. They had to put her foot agonisingly back in place on the hill quickly or she risked losing it altogether.

After surgery, two pins and a metal plate, Sally’s bone is gradually fusing back together but she is navigating a life without running for a good while. She was aiming for a 100 miler this summer but crewed for her buddy instead. We caught up with Sally to find out more about her accident, her subsequent recovery and how she’s coping with being a runner who can’t run for possibly a whole year.
