    Megan Boxall - Run Great Britain #193

    Today’s guest is in the midst of an extraordinary adventure: the Run Around Great Britain challenge, a human‑powered loop of the entire coastline. It’s part endurance feat and part love letter to the country. We catch up with Megan Boxall 117 days into her journey. She talks us through the mishaps, the coastlines, the kindness of strangers, and the moments that make big adventures feel deeply human. She’s well over halfway now, but still so much to explore.

    This week on the Tea & Trails podcast, Gary goes rogue and wanders off his training plan, while Eddie spills the beans on the Trailspire Ultra 6‑Hour endurance event.

Gemma’s energy is infectious! This conversation is full of honesty, humour, and proper inspiration as she opens up about the highs and lows of her journey so far, what she’s learned along the way, and what’s brewing for the rest of 2026 and beyond.

    Hardmoors Saltburn Trail Marathon Debrief #190

    What a crammed week it’s been! The National Running Show was an absolute blast, and it was brilliant meeting so many listeners in person. Huge kudos to the Altra 13 Valleys team for pulling it all together. Meanwhile, Gary had his own bit of drama to deal with as he toed the line at the Hardmoors Saltburn Trails Marathon. Could he outrun his 2014 self, and did he manage to bag that V50 win? Our coaches are on hand with some much‑needed footwear wisdom, and we share our top tip for taking on a big scary goal without letting it swallow you whole. And of course, another sensational week over on Strava, and as always, we’re celebrating your tales from the trails. Thanks to Precision Fuel & Hydration for supporting our February competition.

    Jade Barrett - Centurion Double Slam #189

    Jade Barrett has just pulled off something no one else has ever managed, completing the entire Centurion Running calendar in a single year. Every. Single. Event. And because that apparently wasn’t quite enough, she also squeezed in the Arc of Attrition for good measure! In our chat, we dive into the highs, the lows, the moments that nearly broke her, and the ones that reminded her exactly why she does this. And with her 2026 already looking absolutely packed, you’ll be seeing her on the start lines of both the Northern Traverse and the Lakeland 100.

    How to recce like a pro #188

    This week the hosts spill the beans on their epic Northern Traverse recces. From the Lakeland mountains to the Dales, the Moors, and the sea, the Northern Traverse really does have it all. We also break down how we set our recces up for success, so you can get the most out of yours. If our tales of fun on the trails get your juices flowing, don’t forget that Patreons receive 10% off the Northern Traverse and all Ourea Events races. And the big question keeps coming up, how do you train for the hills when you don’t actually live near any hills? The coaches have your back. Plus, a listener shares an awesome fundraising story in this week’s Tales from the Trails!

    Practical tips & tricks for peak performance #186

    This week on the Tea & Trails Podcast, Eddie and Gary share the tips and tricks that keep them going when training and racing get tough. There’s a Lakeland 100–themed Brew With the Coaches question, plus an update on how their own training is shaping up as the Northern Traverse draws closer.
