    Charlotte Mountford - ADHD & Autism in Ultra Running #243

    This week we’re catching up with Charlotte Mountford. We first met Charlotte on a frosty Tea & Trails Ultra recce, she later reached out to see if we’d be up for a chat about neurodivergence in ultra running, and of course we said yes. Charlotte has been diagnosed with ADHD and autism, so we dive into the traits, the challenges, and the joys of running as a neurodivergent athlete.

    What to Do After a DNF #242

    Eddie’s been racking up the miles in Morzine, catching up with friends and cruising around familiar trails. Fun times in the mountains! Meanwhile, Gary was nervously pinning on a race number at the Hardmoors Farndale Trail Marathon… which, was actually 28.5 miles. Better value for money, though! Over in our Strava club, you lot have been stacking big miles and big climbs. Always showing up, always delivering. We’ve got a lovely family inspired Heavy Flex this week, plus a poetic Lakeland 100 Tale from the Trails. Eddie and I dive into a tricky but important topic, weight and body image in ultra running. And to round things out, What do you do after a DNF?

    Group Run Etiquette #240

    Both hosts have been out getting their miles in. Eddie’s been gallivanting around the mountains on a hen weekend, while Gary kept things a bit more local but still managed to squeeze in plenty of fun. Happy to report: legs intact & spirits high. Meanwhile, you lot have been absolutely flying over on Strava. Another week, another double Heavy Flex. And thank you for the intros, genuinely love hearing from you. Eddie dishes out some proper wisdom this week on pregnancy and running, and to wrap things up we chat about the fine art of group‑run etiquette.

    Jenny Hartley - Summer Spine Champ #239

    It’s the second time Jenny Hartley has joined us on the Tea & Trails Podcast, and she’s had quite the adventure since her last visit. The Invictus Games and Gladiators athlete has been busy up on the Pennine Way, setting off from Edale with one big goal in mind, to complete the Summer Spine Race. She made it all the way to Kirk Yetholm, kissed the famous wall, and did so before any other woman that week. The 268‑mile journey is packed with twists, turns, highs, lows, and all the chaos the Spine is known for, and Jenny shares every bit of it with us.
