    Ep 22. A half marathon PB, fuelling under peer pressure, and gun time vs chip time

    Huw is three weeks post-Soft Rock and, in his words, so close to being back. Alice comes home from 8.75 laps of a London park with a half marathon PB, some strong opinions on gun time versus chip time, and a story about the peer pressure around fuelling -  how much is too much, whose plan do you actually trust, and what happens when you stick to your own. We get into running in a pack, how A, B and C races fit into a training block, and the small comment from a friend that opened up a bigger conversation on how "easy" is always relative. We close on a warm-up tweak Alice has found that's making a real difference. Contact usEmail: twoaveragerunners@gmail.comInstagram: @huwjedwards @dralicepenn @two.average.runners

    Ep 21. The comparison trap, Strava egos, and running with people faster than you

    Huw is deep in the recovery grind after Soft Rock. Alice’s running is finally starting to click. Then we get into a deeper conversation, sparked by a listener question, on the comparison trap: what it’s like running with people faster than you, whether Strava makes it worse, and where we land on being competitive with others versus mostly competing with ourselves.

    We made it to ep 20! Plus race gear that let us down, pre-race rituals, and the best way to pee before a race

    This week, Huw is a few days back from Soft Rock and shares how the recovery is going and what he's eyeing next. Alice has a 5K PB to celebrate and a growing collection of oddities from her Battersea Park loops. We give a Tour de France debrief (with a favourite Pogačar moment thrown in), and get through a stack of listener questions: the worst post-race goodie bags, our weirdest pre-race superstitions, returning to running post-baby and building back to half-marathon shape, and the eternal question of what to do when you need to pee at the start line.

    Ep 19. Huw's Soft Rock ordeal. Plus Josh Kerr's mile, the Tour de France, and fear vs your body actually protecting you

    Huw is back from Soft Rock. A multi-day version of the Hardrock 100 he ran with a friend across the Colorado mountains. Wildfire smoke, altitude sickness, closed sections of trail, moments he thought about quitting, and moments he pushed on; a rollercoaster of an event, having to adapt and problem solve under pressure. We talk about Josh Kerr's mile world record and the moment that finish landed, get into the Tour de France, and share a solid training update from Alice. Then we close on a listener question about how to tell the difference between your brain genuinely protecting you and your brain just being scared.

    Ep 18. Soft Rock is here! Plus best taper, panic in a pen of 18,000 runners, and Huw's about to meet the pain cave.

    This week, Huw is days out from being three days deep in the Colorado mountains. He shares that he hasn't finished a big race since his dad passed, which is clearly on his mind heading into this one. We get into what he expects to happen when it gets brutal. Alice leads us into a proper conversation about pressure, sparked by a chaotic 10K start line and a very different approach to pain, courtesy of her partner, Dale, who apparently has a few choice words for himself when things get hard. Also, it turns out a toddler on a balance bike might be the most effective taper strategy in sport.Contact usEmail: twoaveragerunners@gmail.comInstagram: @huwjedwards @dralicepenn @two.average.runners

    Ep 17. Huw's biggest adventure yet! Plus AI vs human running coaches, a topless parkrun stalker, and running advice that turned out wrong

    This week, Huw talks about being just days out from his biggest mountain adventure yet. Alice has a situation developing at parkrun: a topless, Scandinavian-looking stranger who's been quietly clocking her splits for months, and has just started acting on it. We get into two listener questions this week. First, whether to run with headphones in. Then, whether AI running apps and coaches actually work, plus a run through running advice we were both given that turned out to be completely wrong for us. Also, apparently the Tour de France might come through the Brecon Beacons next year, and Huw's already planning the family road trip.

    Ep 16. Western States 100 recap, plus the Fuelin app, and how we deal with a bad race

    This week we recap Western States: course records broken, three men under 14 hours for the first time, and Molly Seidel's remarkable finish after things went sideways at mile 94. We get into the Fuelin app: how we're both using it, what's working, and what it revealed to Alice about her own fueling. Huw's been rethinking his goals with his UK move on indefinite pause. We answer a listener question on how we deal with a race that goes badly. Plus updates on our own running and Serena Williams' return to Wimbledon - with a surprising mindset going in.

    Ep 15. Running in a heatwave, where to live as a runner, and Alice's solo 5K caper

    This week, the UK is in a heatwave, and Huw (from Texas) is unimpressed. We get into how to actually use the heat to your advantage with heat training, plus tips for surviving it,  and answer a listener question on the same. Alice has moved house, which sent us down a rabbit hole on what to look for in a place to live when running is a deciding factor. She also tells the story of her solo 5K attempt after the real one didn't happen. We get into what getting older means for your speed, and Huw gives us a preview of Western States this weekend: why it could be one of the fastest on record, and what Molly Seidel's move to trails means.
