Nick Knight joins us again for an enlightening chat with Q&A about getting older as runners (I'm 40 in Feb and feeling exhausted!) - what can we do to recover quicker and protect ourselves from common age-related running issues like osteoarthritis, and how can we come to terms with never again reaching PB's from previous years? Nick is from NK Active, one of the UK’s leading musculoskeletal and rehabilitation clinics. Find out more and book Nick and team at https://nkactive.co.uk/ and on their YouTube channel here  @NKActiveClinics

Delighted to chat to Sophie! Sophie Power - She.Races founder, spearheading women's equality in trail racing after she had to make the decision to breastfeed her 3 month old at checkpoints on the UTMB 2018 or face losing out on a race that didn't allow deferrals for pregnancy and birth. 

Originally on YouTube here https://youtu.be/hArsJq5-5yY

Super excited to chat with Sophie as she has long been a hero of mine. How on earth she was fit enough to run 100 miles around the French, Italian and Swiss mountainside 3 months after giving birth to her second child is absolutely beyond me as I could only run for 5-10k 6 months after Finny was born and I'm only now up to half marathons and he's 2 in January! 

How did she find the time and more importantly how was she not just totally knackered? Sophie has 3 kids now so it will be super interesting to find out how she juggles her time between work and play. 

I'll make this into a podcast soon after, search Sophie Power Wild Ginger Running in your usual podcast provider and enjoy our chat on your next run!

Last month I was invited to speak to Amy and Stu from the irreverent and hugely popular Running is Bullshit podcast. I had to rant about some things, which was fun! Usually I'm just really enthusiastic about everything but this gave me an opportunity to think differently about the world of off-road running! I enjoyed it! 

The podcast originally aired here on their channel https://runningisbs.com/episode/97-mud-is-bullshit-with-claire-maxted/

With this description:

We’re joined by Wild Ginger Running’s very own Claire Maxted about being a running media mogul!

There is also chat of thick puddles, corgi training regimes, pretend dog injuries, long kit names, and shoe whales.

Also, if you’re a race organiser or shoe manufacturer, we’ve got demands about things that we want. Please make it happen.

Hannah Bazley is a busy, working mum of two girls, one with special educational needs (SEN) yet she still found the time, energy and mental determination to train for and complete the 114 miles Montane Summer Spine Challenger this summer 2022. How did she fit those long runs in to train for it, how did she keep going when everything hurt, and more to the point how did she keep grinning for every single photo she has sent me of her during the race!? Find out in our exclusive interview!
