    Tonya K Olson - Fixing your Feet #187

    Thanks for the intro Jed! In this episode, we are joined by the brilliant Tonya Olson, one of the leading experts behind Fixing Your Feet, the go‑to guide for anyone who’s ever limped through the last miles of a race wondering where it all went wrong. Tonya has spent years helping athletes understand the art and science of foot care: from blister prevention and taping techniques to shoe choices and the tiny mistakes that turn into big problems on race day.

    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. Spoiler: it features a severed head, exploding bridges, a visit to Greg’s Hut, and an unreasonable number of long runs.

    Anthony Clark - XMiles Founder #185

    Anthony’s running journey began back in 2007 while he was working in IT. Unhappy with his weight, he laced up for a change, and just two months later he was on the start line of his first 10K. By 2009 he’d run his first marathon, and by 2011 he was fully immersed in the world of ultrarunning. Years of racing and experimenting with his own fuelling strategies sparked a deeper interest in sports nutrition. Anthony went on to earn an Advanced Diploma in Nutrition and Weight Management, followed by a Nutrition Specialist Diploma. Combining his personal transformation with his growing expertise, he founded XMiles, a brand dedicated to helping endurance athletes fuel smarter and perform at their best.

    Libby Clark - Centurion Winter Downs 200 Podium Finish #183

    Back in December 2025, Libby Clark stepped up to the start line of the Centurion Winter Downs 200, a 200‑mile Ultra Marathon. Only nine women stood on that start line. Nine! And Libby wasn’t just there to take part… she was there to race! Seventy‑five hours, sixteen minutes, and twenty‑seven seconds later, she crossed that finish line to claim a joint second place finish with Jemma Lyons. Today, we get to dive into that journey, the highs, the lows, the hallucinations, the juggle, and the glory. Thanks Harrier Trail Running for sponsoring this weeks interview.

    Trish Patterson - Winter Dragon's Back FKT #181

    Every so often, someone comes along who doesn’t just take on a challenge, they redefine what’s possible. Today’s guest is exactly that. Trish Patterson is a force of nature: a runner with grit in her bones, fire in her stride, and a story that climbs higher than the ridgelines she loves. Whether she’s chasing FKTs, tackling brutal mountain routes, or simply showing what’s possible when determination meets heart, Trish brings an energy that lifts everyone around her. In this episode, we dive into the mindset behind her biggest adventures, the moments that shaped her, and the resilience that keeps her pushing forward when the terrain gets rough and the doubts get loud. Trish doesn’t just run, she inspires, she challenges, and she reminds us why we fall in love with the mountains in the first place. Thanks to Fenix Light UK for supporting our January competition.
