    Sophie Power - The Power Within #209

    Today we’re sharing the mics with the brilliant Sophie Power, British ultrarunner, Guinness World Record holder, and a leading voice for women in sport. We cover a lot of ground in this one: going viral at UTMB, the origins of She Races, the brand‑new She Races Trail Series, and her inspiring new book The Power Within. And of course, because it’s Tea & Trails, we don’t shy away from the big, important questions… like what’s Sophie’s go‑to trail snack. It’s an episode packed with laughter, honesty, and a healthy dose of inspiration. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Sophie Power! https://www.sophiepower.com/ https://www.sheraces.com/ https://www.sheracestrailseries.com/ HARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMea XMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeR FENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/ PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first order PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25z STRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Ad https://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEA ASCEND APP - Use code TeaandTrails30 to receive 30% off a monthly subscription. https://ascendtrailapp.avln.me/c/MOwNWISPDOwi Content may contain affiliate links which help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.

    Dialling In Your Fuel Plan for Big Days Out #208

    Did someone say Montane Summer Spine Challenger North? Eddie has plugged that Northern Traverse shaped hole in her life with another epic northern challenge. Roll on June. Not to be outdone, Gary’s been busy entering races too. He’ll be on the start line for the 5 and 2 Valleys in September, hoping to join the very small club of runners who’ve completed all the distances. We chat about how we fuel our long runs, and Eddie shares some cracking wisdom on weaving cycling into your training. And good news, our friends at Protein Rebel are supplying the prize for April’s competition. Tune in for all the details.

    Put the Kettle On, Not Your Trainers - Take a Rest Day #206

    This week we’re talking about rest days & why they matter, why they’re so hard to take, and why your body (and your future self) will be grateful when you finally ease off the gas. There’s big news in the running world too. London Marathon are considering a Saturday and Sunday marathon. We share our thoughts… is this fun times or sad times? Brew with the Coaches is back. If you’re diving into the bushes every time you head out for a run, you’re not alone. It’s a common problem, and our coaches tackle the sensitive subject with plenty of care, and hopefully some helpful advice. Both Eddie and Gary had huge days out in the Lakes this week. They, along with the Northern Traverse runners, got absolutely battered by the weather. The DOMS are very, very real. And as always, you lot have been busy. Our STRAVA club continues to be the daily dose of inspiration we all need.

    No hills? No problem - Hail the treadmill #204

    This week on the Tea & Trails Podcast, Eddie is on the hunt for a new race to fill the Northern Traverse‑shaped hole in her calendar, and Gary has been back on the start line, this time proudly wearing the blue and white of division 3 champions,  Sedgefield Harriers. The hosts also share how they fuel their week. Spoiler: it involves a lot of snacks. Our listeners are absolutely smashing it over on Strava, and the coaches tackle one of the most common questions they get asked: How do I train for a hilly ultra when I only have access to a treadmill?

    Punk Panther Endurance Events #203

    After Gary’s cracking day out at the Punk Panther Welcome Way Ultra, we thought it was only right to sit down with the masterminds behind the miles. Race directors Mark and Ryk join us to peak behind the curtain on what it really takes to organise some of the most stunning events in the county. Punk Panther have built their reputation on classic, low‑key, community‑driven races, the kind that remind you exactly why we love trail running. And with distances ranging from 5k to a full on 50‑mile epic adventure, there’s genuinely something for everyone. Follow the link below to find out more!

    Northern Traverse cancelled - Finding the rainbow after the disappointment #202

    This week, Eddie and Gary share their thoughts after the news that Ourea Events have ceased trading, a truly desperate situation for everyone involved. Gary felt the love with the Punk Panthers. Spoiler, he absolutly loved his time on the trails around Otley. The coaches tackle a triple‑whammy question from a listener down under: how to run downhill faster, coping with the heat, and dealing with grumpy knees. Our community brings the joy as always, with an inspirational Strava Club update, tales from the trails, and a belated Mother’s Day shout‑out. And with the Northern Traverse no longer going ahead, we thought it was the perfect moment to chat about how to choose your next race. And finally, you could be in with a chance of winning a waterproof jacket, thanks to our friends at Harrier Trail Running!
