Morgan Glazier: UTMB Puglia and the Rise of Ultra Running's Next Generation

Épisode 74

dimanche 1 novembre 2026 • Durée 53:49

This week, Max and Sarah are joined by one of the exciting young talents making his mark on the ultra-running scene: Morgan Glazier.

Despite his relatively young age, Morgan is already building an impressive racing CV. From a strong performance at the South Downs Way 100 to winning the KosciMiler at Ultra-Trail in Australia, and most recently finishing sixth at Puglia by UTMB in Italy, he's quickly establishing himself as a name to watch.

We chat about Morgan's journey into the sport, what it's like lining up against some of the world's best ultra runners, and the work that goes into developing as a competitive endurance athlete.

We get into:

- Morgan's journey into ultra running and his progression through the sport.

- Winning the KosciMiler in Australia and the experience of racing internationally.

- His impressive sixth-place finish at Puglia by UTMB.

- Training, weekly mileage, strength work and staying injury-free.

- The balance between natural ability, hard work and consistency.

- His ambitions, future races and just how far he believes he can go.

An interesting insight into the journey of a young athlete making big strides in the world of ultra running.

Trails, Tales and Fails – real conversations about ultra running, the people behind the performances, and everything in between.

lundi 12 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:18:48

What does it really take to complete the TOR330?

On this episode of Trails, Tales & Fails, we're joined by Mike Harrington from George & Falcon Trail Runners to talk about taking on the TOR330 — a brutal 330km ultra through the Italian Alps, packed with huge climbs, technical mountain trails, sleep deprivation and some seriously tough decisions.

Mike takes us inside the race, sharing the highs, the lows, the moments when things got properly difficult, and what it takes to keep moving when you're running on empty.

We also talk about his experiences at the Winter Downs 100 and UTS the realities of racing over extreme distances, lessons learned the hard way, and what it takes to tackle some of the biggest challenges in ultra running.

Plus, we're introducing some new features to TTF, including Coaching Corner, Tales from the Trail and TTF Shout-Outs. We want your questions, stories and running disasters!

Damian Hall: FKTs, 200 milers, longevity and motivation

Épisode 70

lundi 28 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:19:18

This week, Max, Rob and Sarah are joined by one of the biggest names in UK ultra running — Damian Hall.

Damian has finished fifth at UTMB, won the Spine Race, set multiple FKTs and taken on some seriously ambitious challenges. But there’s much more to his running than racing.

He’s also a coach, author, journalist, climate campaigner and co-founder of The Green Runners — a group working to make running and the wider sport more environmentally sustainable.

We chat about Damian’s recent running adventures, and with winter ultras such as the Spine and Winter Downs approaching, we also get practical: how do you train for 200 miles without destroying yourself? How much running do you actually need to do? What role does strength training play? How do you prepare mentally for several days on your feet? And how do you stay motivated when it’s dark, cold and absolutely miserable outside?

We also chat about longevity and Damian’s latest book, Run Forever, which explores how we can continue to get the most out of running as we get older.

Plus, there’s the usual Trails, Tales, and Fails chaos with Celebrity Pacer, Truth or Lie and the Quickfire Round.

Leroy Valentine: Bigfoot 200

Épisode 69

jeudi 10 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:07:17

Rob and Sarah sit down with UK ultra runner Leroy Valentine after his incredible 88 hours and 7 minutes at Bigfoot 200 in Washington State.

Bigfoot 200 is a 200 mile point-to-point trail race through the Cascade Mountains, featuring 44,082 feet of elevation gain, 45,563 feet of descent and a 107-hour cutoff. It's the kind of ultra where running ability is only part of the equation — pacing, nutrition, strength, sleep, feet, mindset and the ability to adapt all become crucial when you're moving through the mountains for days.

Leroy takes us behind the scenes of his journey to the start line, from how he got into ultra running and his experience applying for Bigfoot, through to the realities of actually taking on 200 miles.

We talk about how you train for a 200-mile ultra, the importance of strength training, nutrition and fuelling, sleep deprivation, dealing with problems during a race, and the mental battle of continuing when you've been moving for days.

And if you've seen Leroy's legendary frying-pan lunches, we couldn't let him get away without talking about those either.

Plus, we've got our usual Truth or Lie and Quickfire rounds.

If you're into ultra running, trail running, 100-mile and 200-mile races, endurance challenges or simply hearing what happens when someone decides that running for nearly four days is a good idea, this one's for you.

Sarah Page: UTMB 2026

Épisode 68

mercredi 2 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:06:12

Fresh back from Chamonix, this week we're bringing you a UTMB special.

Sarah joins us to relive her journey around Mont Blanc after finishing UTMB 2026 in 28 hours and 14 minutes, placing 222nd overall, 37th female and joint-second British athlete.

We break the race down from start to finish, covering the build-up, race week nerves, the dramatic two-hour weather delay, the electric atmosphere on the course, the highs and lows of a 174km adventure, and the difficult moments around Grand Col Ferret that tested both body and mind.

We also discuss the fascinating British women's race, how Sarah ended up running the final part of the race alongside Charlotte Fisher, and what it was like crossing the finish line in Chamonix after more than 28 hours on the trails.

Plus, we answer listener questions, including the toughest part of the race, the biggest surprises, and where UTMB ranks among Sarah's running achievements.

If you've ever wondered what it's really like to take on one of the world's most iconic ultramarathons, this is the episode for you.

Mission IN-possible: 100 Ultras in 100 Days | David “Jacko” Jackson

Épisode 67

dimanche 16 août 2026 • Durée 01:03:40

What does it actually take to run 50km every single day for 100 days?

In this episode, we chat to David “Jacko” Jackson, former professional rugby player, breath coach and the man behind the incredible Mission IN-possible challenge.

Jacko is attempting to complete 100 ultramarathons in 100 consecutive days, covering a minimum of 50km every day, while aiming to raise an incredible £1 million for brain injury charities Headway UK and Head for Change.

When we spoke to David “Jacko” Jackson on Friday 14th August 2026, he had just completed Day 78 of 100 of his incredible Mission IN-possible challenge.

In 2013, Jacko's professional rugby career was ended by a traumatic brain injury. His recovery was uncertain, and running and breathwork became a huge part of rebuilding his life. Mission IN-possible is his way of turning that experience into something positive — raising awareness, raising money and showing that what seems impossible can become IN-possible.

And Jacko isn't doing it alone.

The community support has been incredible, with runners and walkers joining him along the way. His route uses loops, meaning anyone can get involved — whether you're an experienced ultra runner or simply want to run or walk a few kilometres alongside him.

Behind the scenes, his wife Catherine has also been absolutely integral to the challenge — running with him, driving, helping with food and fuelling and supporting him through the physical and emotional demands of doing this day after day.

We chat to Jacko about the reality of 78 consecutive days of running, his brain injury and recovery, the toughest moments so far, the incredible community around Mission IN-possible, Catherine's role behind the scenes, the £1m fundraising target and what it takes to keep getting up and doing it again.

A massive thank you to Jacko for giving us his time right in the middle of the challenge. At Day 78, this wasn't a conversation looking back from the finish line — he was still right in the thick of it.
