It's race week, and for once both hosts actually laced up their shoes. Gary jetted off to sunny Spain for a trip to the dark side, swapping trails for tarmac as he tackled 26.2 miles on the roads. Meanwhile, Eddie powered her way around the Glen Ogle 33 Ultra, fuelled by an obscene amount of Precision Fuel & Hydration. Eddie and Gabe help out a listener who's got a string of races coming up in quick succession. We also dive into our memory and share our perfect race day, enjoy not one but two heavyweight flexes, and catch up on a Strava feed packed with speedy parkruns, dreamy autumn miles, and one very mysterious long run. Pop the kettle on and join us for another week of Tea & Trails. ☕🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ HARRIER - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMea XMILES UK - Receive 10% off your order via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/jtsGpqzqHNAe 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 PROTEIN REBEL - Use code Tea15 for 15% off your first order - https://proteinrebel.avln.me/c/BAMUUKktqKFC MOUNT TO COAST - Use code TEATRAILS10 for 10% off https://global.mounttocoast.com/discount/TEATRAILS10  FLYCARB - Use code TT10 for 10% off your order. https://flycarb.avln.me/c/JQZSJBvmNWGG GOODR - Use code GOTEAANDTRAILS to receive 10% off. https://goodr.avln.me/c/VLEmsAIZCDtm RUNDERWEAR - Use code TEATRAILPOD15 for 15% off your order. https://runderwear.avln.me/c/GPVNMgMfYfLP JANJI - Use the code T&T to receive 15% off. https://janjiuk.avln.me/c/LJuTjHlJEiHd CENTURION RUNNING - Use code TEAANDTRAILS10 to receive 10% off all orders https://www.centurionultrarunningstore.com/ *Excluding Sale Items BEARHUG - Click the link to receive 15% off your order. https://getabearhug.avln.me/c/PAmERmkwPeal Content contains affiliate links which help support this channel at no cost to you.

This week we're joined by Jennie Dunkley for a chat following her brilliant victory at the 2026 Centurion Autumn 100. It's Jennie's first appearance on the Tea & Trails podcast, so we start at the beginning, exploring her running journey, her previous experiences at the Autumn 100, and the goals she set herself for this year's race. We also dig into the training behind the win, including those early morning sessions, the big confidence building workouts, and how she put it all together on race day. What followed was a masterclass in pacing, patience, and backing yourself. While others may have been busy racing the competition, Jennie was busy racing her own race... which, as it turns out, is a pretty effective strategy. We chat through the highs, the lows, and how she delivered such a strong, controlled performance to take the win.

This week, Gary serves up an audio masterpiece inspired by the Hardmoors Goathland Marathon. Stick around right to the bitter End for a performance that absolutely nobody asked for. Meanwhile, Eddie knocks out multiple long runs as her Spine Race training ramp up. There may be tired legs, questionable life choices, but as long as there is tea in the pot everything will be fine. We've got some musical and lightning-fast Strava Club members to give a shout-out to, and the coaches share their thoughts on how to balance recovery when races are packed close together. This week's Heavy Flex is genuinely mind blowing, and we've also got a heart warming Tales From The Trails featuring a mother and son's 5 Valleys adventure. And finally, Thomas from https://ultralist.co.uk/ gives our listeners the inside track on which races will be opening for entries this November. So grab a brew, lace up your shoes, and join us for another week of trails, tales and training.

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. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Tommy-Price13 HARRIER - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMea XMILES UK - Receive 10% off your order via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/jtsGpqzqHNAe 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 PROTEIN REBEL - Use code Tea15 for 15% off your first order - https://proteinrebel.avln.me/c/BAMUUKktqKFC MOUNT TO COAST - Use code TEATRAILS10 for 10% off https://global.mounttocoast.com/discount/TEATRAILS10  FLYCARB - Use code TT10 for 10% off your order. https://flycarb.avln.me/c/JQZSJBvmNWGG GOODR - Use code GOTEAANDTRAILS to receive 10% off. https://goodr.avln.me/c/VLEmsAIZCDtm RUNDERWEAR - Use code TEATRAILPOD15 for 15% off your order. https://runderwear.avln.me/c/GPVNMgMfYfLP JANJI - Use the code T&T to receive 15% off. https://janjiuk.avln.me/c/LJuTjHlJEiHd CENTURION RUNNING - Use code TEAANDTRAILS10 to receive 10% off all orders https://www.centurionultrarunningstore.com/ *Excluding Sale Items BEARHUG - Click the link to receive 15% off your order. https://getabearhug.avln.me/c/PAmERmkwPeal Content contains affiliate links which help support this channel at no cost to you.

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.

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.

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.

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. https://www.adventurebooks.com/ Thanks E & G xx HARRIER - 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 SUNGOD - Use code TEAANDTRAILS15 for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gb JANJI - Use the code T&T to receive 15% off. https://janjiuk.avln.me/c/LJuTjHlJEiHd CENTURION RUNNING - Use code TEAANDTRAILS10 to receive 10% off all orders https://www.centurionultrarunningstore.com/ *Excluding Sale Items BEARHUG - Click the link to receive 15% off your order. https://getabearhug.avln.me/c/PAmERmkwPeal Content contains affiliate links which help support this channel at no cost to you.

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.
