In this week’s Better By Next Week podcast Tim and Ollie explore what it means to make friends with pain.

They dive into the spectrum of pain, from early niggles to the full-body “pain cave”, and how runners can learn to distinguish between discomfort worth pushing through and signals of injury.

Sharing stories from training and racing, they unpack how experience reshapes perception of pain, why it comes in waves, and how grit, belief, and even shared competition can help you endure more than you think. Ultimately, it’s about normalising discomfort, finding your limits, and using pain as a pathway to growth.

On this week’s Better By Next Week podcast Tim and Ollie dive into the epic insights they missed over the past couple of months, bringing fresh stories, lessons, and reflections from the world of running, training, and performance. From untold race-day takeaways to the little adjustments that make a big difference, they catch up on everything you need to know to keep improving, one week at a time.

To make things even more exciting, they open the floor to their listeners with a special Q&A session, answering burning questions about training, mindset, nutrition, and staying motivated through tough times. And because they love giving back to their community, Tim and Ollie are giving away a limited-edition Better By Next Week running tech tee to one lucky listener.

Tune in, get inspired, and maybe even score some gear while becoming better by next week.

On this week’s Better By Next Week podcast, Tim and Ollie hosted their very first Guest in the Greenhouse, welcoming none other than world record holder in the Backyard Ultra, Phil Gore.

Known for pushing the limits of human endurance, Phil shared his remarkable journey of how he went from being a “5k a day” runner to achieving the seemingly impossible, running for five days straight. Throughout the conversation, Tim and Ollie dug into the nuts and bolts of ultra success, uncovering Phil’s pearls of wisdom on what it really takes to keep moving lap after lap.

They explored the critical elements of ultra-running, including how to manage sleep deprivation, fuel effectively with the right nutrition, and maintain the mental resilience needed to push through the darkest moments.

Packed with insights, stories, and inspiration, this episode is a must-listen for runners chasing their next big challenge.
