    Do You Actually Need a 'Why'?

    I don't really have a big why. And I've represented Australia three times, won Six Foot Track, run three Barkleys. So, either I've been doing it wrong the whole time, or the 'find your why' advice is oversold. The real question of the episode: is a why necessary, or just sometimes useful.

    The Lost Art of Running by Feel

    We live in a world where our watches tell us how we slept, how recovered we are, how hard we should train and even how stressed we are. While technology can be incredibly useful, many runners have become so dependent on it that they no longer trust what their own body is telling them. In this episode, Isobel and Ron discuss why learning to run by feel is one of the most valuable skills you can develop, especially if you want to become a stronger trail and ultra runner. They talk about why pace and heart rate are often poor guides on technical trails, how perceived effort becomes your most reliable tool on race day, and practical ways to start reconnecting with your body's signals. If you have ever cancelled a session because your watch said you were "unrecovered" despite feeling great, or pushed through exhaustion because the numbers looked good, this episode is for you.

    Eat Like a Runner: The Nutrition Fundamentals That Actually Support Your Training

    Most runners train hard and eat like an afterthought. In this episode, Isobel and Ron break down the nutrition fundamentals that directly support your training: not the fads, not the noise, just what the research actually says and what she's learned from years of racing and coaching at the sharp end of the sport. They cover the biggest mistake runners make with food (hint: it's not eating too much), why carbohydrates are not the enemy, how much protein you actually need as an endurance athlete, and why your gut health might be the thing standing between you and your next finish line. Ron also weighs in, because someone has to represent the people who just eat whatever and hope for the best. In this episode: RED-S — the underfuelling syndrome that's wrecking performance for more runners than you thinkThe carbohydrate conversation (and why low-carb isn't the answer for most of you)Protein targets for endurance athletes, the numbers will probably surprise youTiming your nutrition around training — what actually mattersGut health, GI distress, and why race day is not the time to experimentThis is training nutrition: day-to-day eating that builds a body that can handle the work. Race-day fuelling is a separate episode entirely.

    How to Brief Your Crew So They Don't Cost You the Race

    Your crew shows up on race day wanting to help. The problem is you never told them how. In this episode, Isobel and Ron (who has crewed Isobel for years) break down exactly what a good crew needs to know before race day, and why most athletes get this completely wrong. They cover what actually happens at crew points when the briefing hasn't happened, what a proper race plan looks like from the crew's perspective and how to handle the mental and emotional side of crewing. Ron brings a perspective you don't often hear: what it's actually like to stand at a crew point watching someone you care about suffer, and what makes his job easier every single time. What we cover: What crewing actually is and what it isn't What a crew needs to know from your race plan Nutrition, gear, and logistics: the specifics that get missed The mental stuff: what your dark place looks like and what you want your crew to say What to do when an athlete is seriously considering dropping Free download mentioned in this episode: Crew Race Day Briefing Template → https://go.peakendurancecoaching.com.au/crew-briefing Work with Peak Endurance Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/261448771119058 Peak Endurance Coaching is based in Melbourne, Australia.

    Why Racing More Is Making You Slower (The Cake Analogy Every Ultra Runner Needs to Hear)

    Most ultra runners have a race calendar that looks impressive and a performance trajectory that doesn't match it. Here's why: racing is eating the cake. Training is making it. And if you're racing every other weekend — or hammering yourself in training like every session is a time trial — you're eating cake you haven't baked yet. In this episode I break down the A, B, C race framework: what it actually means, how to use it properly, and why getting this wrong is one of the most common reasons experienced runners plateau, burn out, or keep having disappointing race days despite putting in the work. What's covered: The cake analogy and why it applies to how you train, not just how you race The real difference between A, B and C races (and how to be honest about which is which) Why A races should be no more than 2–3 times a year and what that actually makes possible How racing your training is sabotaging your results A simple audit to fix your race calendar today If you've ever finished a race wondering why your fitness didn't show up then this episode is probably the answer. 🎙️ Peak Endurance Coaching | Isobel Tait Ultra running performance: mindset, race prep, nutrition, and the stuff most coaches won't say out loud. 📞 Free 30-minute strategy call: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/booking/9CtIbU6cHXlavK22YvQb 📸 Instagram: @peakendurancecoaching
