The Tea & Trails Podcast

The incredible Karen Nash joins us for a chat this week. We'd like to say she's fresh from her brilliant victory at the 13 Valleys, but this is Karen we're talking about, and she's already raced again since then!

We chat about her fantastic run through all 13 valleys of the Lake District National Park, and dive into the training, nutrition, and morning ritual that helped make it all possible.

Karen was great fun to talk to and incredibly generous with her time. The big question is... Will we see her back on the start line of the Lakeland 100 and the 13 Valleys in 2027?

Both hosts are battling named storms this week as they try to keep their training on track. At this time of year, the treadmill really does become your best mate, and with races being cancelled left, right and centre, plenty of runners have had their plans disrupted too.

Russell and Gary help a listener who's struck gold with a place in the 2027 Lakeland 100. Even more exciting, it'll be her very first 100-miler.

We've also got the Jedburgh 3 Peaks, some sunny Spanish running and cross-country feature over on Strava. It's seriously inspiring to see so many of you getting out there and putting the work in, even when the weather is absolutely minging.

To round off the show, Eddie goes deep as we chat about how we cope when running isn't going to plan and things aren't quite working out the way we'd hoped.

This week, we're joined by Chris and Debs to chat about the 2027 Cape to Glen, a non-stop 214-mile adventure stretching from Cape Wrath to Glenfinnan.

If you've ever pinned on a race bib, there's a good chance Chris or Debs have played a part in your experience. Whether it's event organisation, volunteering, race tracking, or the technical side of things, they bring a huge amount of knowledge and experience to this exciting new challenge.

We talk about the route, the inspiration behind the event, their hopes for its future, and the reality of launching an event during an already busy month.

But perhaps the biggest attraction is the chance to travel from north to south through some of Scotland's most stunning landscapes, sharing the adventure with friends, family, or fellow runners. It has all the ingredients to become a truly unforgettable journey.

This week, Eddie shares her Wild Heart Runners weekend experience, packed with learning, trail running, and friendships.

Gary heads to Hartlepool parkrun for his first attempt at breaking 20 minutes. Did everything go to plan?

Russell and Gary take over the microphones to tackle a Lap and Lakeland 50 puzzle. Meanwhile, over on Strava, you lot show us exactly how it's done, with plenty of races, adventures, and achievements to celebrate from our club members this week.

Our Fornside Farm Cottage competition continues, and to round off the show, Eddie shares some timely advice on training through the winter months when your goal race is still a long way off.

Back in 2022, Tommy Price and his friend Max were out on a Bob Graham Round recce when Tommy collapsed with a hypothermia induced cardiac arrest. Max’s quick thinking kicked off a life‑saving chain of events, and more than 30 mountain rescue volunteers raced to help. Tommy was airlifted off the fell with a body temperature of just 18°C as emergency teams worked together to bring him back.

Four years later, Tommy has returned to the fells and finish what he started, completing the full 66‑mile Bob Graham Round.

Gary eases his little feet off the gas this week as all that recent racing finally catches up with him. Meanwhile, Eddie is fully back in the Spine groove, lots of time spent settling into that steady, stubborn Spine Race pace.

Overseas, we all saw the Moab 240 get cancelled, a sobering reminder of how quickly things can change out on the trails. Thankfully, everyone made it off safely.

To wrap up the show, we chat about our favourite footwear of 2026. It’s a perfect example of how subjective shoe choice can be, both hosts choosing completely different options.

Plenty of inspiration over on Strava, and we’ve even got a Dragons Back Race Heavy Flex to round things off.

Stu and Eddie take over Brew with the Coaches this week as we follow Eddie’s journey toward the 2027 Winter Spine Race. Stu’s been on the podcast before, and Eddie has kindly agreed to share her session as she works through The Unbreakable Athlete mindset program.

Sophie Raworth joins us for a brilliant conversation, journalist, BBC newsreader, author, and a runner with a serious love for the long stuff. Her book Running on Air hit the shelves in 2026, capturing the joy, grit and sheer stubbornness that keeps her lacing up day after day.

We chat about life in the newsroom, the pull of the start line, the stories behind her biggest races, and how running has shaped her world far beyond the miles.

Both hosts are feeling the load from recent races and training. Eddie finally took her foot off the gas, and Gary trotted off to Kielder for the Kielder Marathon. Surprise, surprise, he’s even more tired now. But to be fair, those Kielder trails did serve up an absolutely sensational day out.

No Tales from the Trails this week… sad times. Please send some in. It’s the best part of the show and such a brilliant way to celebrate what you’ve been up to.

Strava delivered some big miles too, with a few listeners making their way to the East Coast after tackling the Charm Bracelet 100 mile Ultra.

Stu and Eddie take over Brew with the Coaches this week as we follow Eddie’s journey toward the 2027 Winter Spine Race. Stu’s been on the podcast before, and Eddie has kindly agreed to share her session as she works through The Unbreakable Athlete mindset program.

Yes… a little indulgent. Well, maybe very indulgent for Gary to share his 5 & 2 Valleys experience, but he’s doing it anyway. Nearly fifty of the most beautiful miles this country has to offer, taking in epic summits, dreamy trails, and sharing it all with thousands of like minded runners.

The 13 Valleys and the Lake District National Park did not disappoint. It’s a firm favourite of the podcast, and judging by the sheer number of runners, families, and friends who descended on Keswick, it’s clearly a favourite of the trail running community too.

Big love and thanks to everyone who helped put on an amazing weekend of running.

Thanks E & G xx

Three races. One weekend. Greedy Gary was back at it again, taking on the 5 Valleys Ultra and the 2 Valleys, while Eddie headed to the Ochills Ultra 50. It turned into quite the adventure for her after a full on week of driving up and down the country. Meanwhile, Gary had an absolute blast in the Lakes and somehow came home clutching his four times finisher charm.

An injured runner reached out to the coaches this week, something every one of us has had to face at some point. Over in the Strava Club, it’s a very 7 Valleys heavy leaderboard, and we’ve got a cracking Tales from the Trails to go with it.

And to round off the show, we dive into our most stomach churning mid race food choices. The kind of stuff that makes you question your life decisions.

Thanks E & G xx

Damian Hall joins us for a lovely, meandering chat about all things running, records, tea, and a bit of football thrown in for good measure. You always get good bang for your buck with Damo, and this episode delivers too.

His latest book, Run Forever, hit the shelves earlier this year. It’s a perfect read for runners drifting past 30 and hoping to keep moving for as many decades as possible.

Damian digs into the reasons why our strength and speed might start to fade and why it’s far from inevitable if we actually do something about it. With brilliant contributions from Renée McGregor and Pete Stables, it’s packed with insight and encouragement.

Eddie has levelled up her double threshold game and is loving it. Gary, meanwhile, has had a quiet week of training, two days missed, thanks to life getting in the way and his body whispering, “Mate… be kind to your future self.”

This week’s Brew With the Coaches is a good one, especially for our dear listeners who keep getting that annoying mid run stitch. Some cracking tips in there.

You lot continue to entertain and inspire over on Strava, Tales from the Trails, and of course the mighty Heavy Flex corner. We truly have a community of superheroes getting out there week after week.

Thanks E & G xx

Lucy Gossage joins us today for an absolute powerhouse of an episode. Fresh off the Pennine Way FKT, she’s just conquered 268 miles of bogs, mountains and truly awful weather, all stitched together with joy, grit, friendship and adventure.

Anna Troup set a seriously stout record, and it took bravery for Lucy to step up and take on the challenge. But take it on she did. She pushed all the way to Edale in 70 hours, 47 minutes and 15 seconds, shaving nearly two hours off the previous mark.

It’s a story of courage, community and what happens when you back yourself, even when the odds, and the weather, are stacked against you.

Both hosts are well and truly in the groove of training, tackling long runs, hard sessions, parkruns, and hitting the weights too. We also dive into the world of the double-threshold workout day, as Eddie slips a double-day into her week!

We've got a V50 Heavy Flex, plus a remarkable feat of mental and physical endurance over at Tales from the Trails.

Eddie shares some back to back long run wisdom. Gary likes the idea of a double long-run, but he definitely prefers a rest day in between to catch his breath! The coaches also talk about plyometrics, should you do them, how do you do them, and how can you sprinkle them into your week.

And, as always, we round things out with big miles and big vert over on Strava.

Thanks E & G xx

This week we sit down with Laura Watts, fresh off her brilliant run at the Leeds & Liverpool Canal Race. An awesome victory, made even more impressive considering she’s still not fully recovered from her fifth finish at Badwater.

We absolutely loved this chilled chat with Laura. From bumping into famous passengers during her day job, to training stories, to what it’s actually like running through Death Valley again and again, to the power of CurraNZ as part of her training and racing, it’s all in there.

And of course, Laura rounds things off with a banger of an Instagram song choice.

Eddie’s been busy heading south this week, supporting Lucy Gossage as she storms her way down the Pennine Way on a record breaking FKT. Meanwhile, Gary popped north of the border and treated himself to some glorious East Lothian trails.

Over on Strava, the miles are big, the birthday shout‑outs are bumper, and this week’s Tales from the Trails brings a mix of inspiration and a good dose of perspective.

Stu & Eddie have a brew with the coaches takeover as we follow Eddies journey to the 2027 winter spine race. Stu has been on the podcast before and Eddie has kindle agreed to share her session as she follows The Unbreakable Athlete mindset program.

Endurance Mindset Coaching - https://www.endurancemindcoaching.com/

And finally, Eddie and Gary chat through a few race options you might want to pencil in if you were one of the unlucky souls who didn’t make it through the Lakeland 50 or 100 ballot. Or maybe the idea of heading to Cumbria doesn’t float your boat at all. Either way, we’ve got some alternatives that might just spark your next adventure.

We all know nothing is guaranteed in ultra running, and the longer the race, the higher the jeopardy climbs.

This week, we share the story of two runners who are no strangers to the sharp end of some of the UK’s toughest events. Both lined up at the 2026 Race Across Scotland, but their races unfolded very differently. For one runner, it ended in an agonisingly close to the finish DNF, for the other, it became a come from behind victory.

It was incredibly brave of Anna to share her race, and Laura, being the class act she is, handles the whole situation with real grace.

Gary has been racing! Well… not quite racing, but he definitely wasn’t taking it easy. Either way, he loved his time up on the Moors at the Hardmoors Roseberry Topping Trail Marathon.

Eddie’s been in full entertainment mode, and with the kids finally back at school it’s back on the horse, juggling life, training, and trying to squeeze everything in.

The coaches step in to help a listener who needs some guidance on fueling multi‑day adventures, perfect timing with the Dragon’s Back Race just around the corner.

And warming up… maybe you do, maybe you don’t, before a run, race, or workout. Whatever your habit, we can probably all agree our rusty bones deserve a proper warm‑up before we ask them to move with purpose. Stick around to the bitter end because Eddie shares some thoughts and ideas that might just change your routine.

Over in the Strava club we’ve got a UTMB appearance, and the Lakeland 100 love continues in the Heavy Flex corner.

As the ballot opens for the 2027 Lakeland 50 & 100, we thought it was the perfect time to spend an hour with one of the main men behind the event, Marc Laithwaite.

Marc brings a mix of funny, heartwarming, and genuinely inspiring stories that capture exactly why this race is so special. And beyond the running, the event has now raised over £1,000,000 for charity, which is just incredible.

It’s one of the absolute highlights of Gary’s year, and he cannot wait to toe the line again in 2027.

And with the race celebrating its 20th anniversary, 2027 promises to be a truly special year.

This week we kick things off with two brilliant listener intros, and, believe it or not, both hosts are out there getting after it and building some fitness. It’s all very upbeat at the moment. Long may this new trend continue!

We’ve also got a smoking fast potential Dragon looking for advice ahead of a possible 2027 attempt, plus a few taper tips as we roll into a busy autumn race season. If your big day is creeping closer, this one’s for you.

You lot have been absolutely crushing it on Strava. We’ve got a birthday Heavy Flex and an eye watering Heavy Flex/Tales from the Trails combo.

And as always, keep the intros, coaching questions, Tales from the Trails, and Heavy Flexes coming. send them to hello@teaandtrails.com.
