ANDY BERRY | Staying True to Himself and Trail Running

Wednesday, October 14, 2026 • Duration 01:12:36

Message Home Trails here - include an email or name for a response ⬅️

On the Home Trails Podcast this week, we have Andy Fìor-Berry.

Andy is a well known British mountain ultra runner, who has steadily built a reputation for tackling some of the UK's most iconic rounds and races.

He's taken on the Steve Parr Round, Paddy Buckley, Winter Tranter's and the Bob Graham Round to name a few. He's won the Lakeland 100 in recent years and runs himself into the top 10 at international ultras around the world.

Andy is a big personality in the sport and always has a lot to say about what's happening in ultra running.

We talk about his superhero origin story. His time split between Durham and The Highands and his life balance of coaching and plumbing.

In this episode we introduce a new segment call MJUM Asks...and we get his answer to quite a personal question about his current sponsor. Andy also speaks about him being asked (2nd hand) to be involved in the Captains BGR attempt....you'll need to listen to hear that answer!

DANI MACGILL | District BYU Winner!

Tuesday, October 6, 2026 • Duration 01:06:44

Message Home Trails here - include an email or name for a response ⬅️

Dani has made her presence known in ultra running in the UK.

After getting into trail running during the pandemic by jogging with her dog on walks, she soon realised how much she enjoyed running and signed up to a 10k. Then she dipped her toes into marathon running and eventually that led her to ultras. Being in her own words “highly competitive” she decided that coming top 5 in an ultra wasn’t enough, she wanted to win them.

in the summer she placed 2nd at the full summer Spine and she’s just this past weekend, won the District BackYard Ultra outright. Another outstanding performance women’s ultra running who seem to be dominating the BYU world at the moment.

Dani will do more great things in the future!

FLEUR CUSHMAN | Is the CurraNZ hype for real?

Friday, October 2, 2026 • Duration 01:08:08

Message Home Trails here - include an email or name for a response ⬅️

This week we speak to Fleur Cushman from CurraNZ, the New Zealand black current supplement that's making waves in the ultra community.

This podcast is very science based so be prepared to either taker notes or save the transcript to refer to afterwards.

I first heard about the product from Kim Collison and Josh wade (among others) a few years back while the product was new to the Ultra and trail scene.

Over the past 12 years, a body of evidence, including dozens of studies into its effects on fat metabolism, heat acclimation, Vo2Max and recovery have all been published and some of the numbers actually seem impossible, so impossible that many of the studies had to be repeated numerous times to ensure they were indeed correct.

I've been using CurraNZ for the last week and although it's too early to be sure, I can definitely feel like something is happening, especially with recovery. So for a 46 year old ultra runner, my interest is peaked! Time will tell and I'll report my findings in the coming weeks. But don't take my word for it. Try it yourself and let us know!

TOMMY PRICE | From dying on a recce, to completing the Bob Graham Round!

Monday, September 21, 2026 • Duration 01:12:16

Message Home Trails here - include an email or name for a response ⬅️

On the Home Trails Podcast this week, I speak to Tommy Price, the ultimate comeback kid!

During a winter Bob recce, Tommy encountered severe weather that quickly made him hypothermic. His mate Max, unable to move Tommy back down the mountain had to make the decision to wrap him in a bivvy bag and go for help.

Shortly after, Tommy crawled out of the bag and suffered cardiac arrest while his body temperature plummeted to just 20 degrees. After hours out on the hill, exposed to the -15 wind chill, most paramedics would have assumed he was beyond saving, but Keswick MRT had other ideas!

They summoned a helicopter from North Wales to airlift Tommy to Newcastle where he received life saving treatments. Tommy wasn't out of the woods just yet as doctors feared he would be left brain damaged because he his heart had stopped for so long.

But, not only did he recover. But he recovered enough to race the London marathon in aid of his beloved Keswick MRT. Then, to complete the circle, Tommy returned to the Lake District to finish what he started. A successful Bob Graham Round!

In this podcast, Tommy tells the ultimate comeback story!

COACHES CORNER | Coach Woza returns to talk about his trip to Chamonix for UTMB

Message Home Trails here - include an email or name for a response ⬅️

Warren returns to the podcast to talk about the latest coaching insights and his trip to Chamonix for UTMB.

Woza had front row seats to watch the action from downtown Chamonix, So we do our best to talk through the highs and the lows of the greatest show on earth.

We talk about the Brits who did well and the ones that either came up short, or even suffered at the hands of the infamous Chamonix bug!

We then dive into some coaching insights, including the benefits of double days lactate gels and we assume that our phones have been listening to our conversations, because we both keep getting ads for peptides!

LUCY GOSSAGE | New Pennine Way Record!

Thursday, September 10, 2026 • Duration 47:58

Message Home Trails here - include an email or name for a response ⬅️

Lucy returns to the Home Trails Podcast to talk about her new Pennine Way record!

After a previous attempt to complete as a self supported record attempt, Lucy returned to finish the job......and finish it she did! Knocking 2 hours off Anna Troup's previous record.

Lucy talks about her recovery, which involves going back to work (seriously), swollen legs and zero alcohol beers! She plans to head up to the LAP tomorrow to watch her sister run and eat lots of cake (her, not her sister!)

We talk about the laid back fun approach to the monumental effort that saw her run for just under 3 days straight, an achievement that no other woman has managed until now!

We talk about her support crew that was a who's who of the UK ultra-running community and how they got her through the highs and the lows of the epic journey from Kirk Yetholm back to Edale.

Lucy believes that another woman could get closer to the 65 hour mark on the right weather window. But until that happens we have a new Pennine Way record holder.

Take a bow GOSS!

LOUISE BROOKWELL | 1st Overall at Ring Of Fire 130

Wednesday, September 9, 2026 • Duration 56:21

Message Home Trails here - include an email or name for a response ⬅️

This episode is a celebration of women's ultra-running this week!

We recap the new FKT on the Pennine Way by Lucy Gossage of 70 hours 47 minutes and 15 seconds!

We discuss Rasselbock BYU winner Becky Atkinson and the fact that the final 3 runners were all women, which included our very own Home Trailer - Hayley Wilson who provided the assist.

Megan Eckert finishes Hungary's EMU 6 day race, running an impressive 636.5 miles for a 6 day world's best, becoming the first woman to pass the 1000KM mark!

last, but by no means least....Louise Brookwell returns to the podcast to talk about her own overall win at the Ring Of Fire 130 ultra. We dive into her training and lead up to this local race on Holyhead. We talk about how her race was almost upended by going off course not 1, but 3 times! We talk about the fact that she feels part of something bigger than just her own race, with amazing results being put up by women all over the world at the moment.

As Louise put it....it was her turn to 'Pull a Rachel Entrekin' and say "Why not me?"

Why not indeed!

LUKE GRENFELL-SHAW | 4th place at CCC

Message Home Trails here - include an email or name for a response ⬅️

Luke returns to the podcast to talk about his recent 4th place at the UTMB World Finals in Chamonix in the CCC race.

Before we dive into his awesome performance in the 100k race, we catch up on what he's been up to since we last spoke, which was in April of 2025! He speaks about him finishing his Bristol to Bejing cycle for charity, the ensuing film tour that took over his life for a while and his racing in between.

Luke talks about trying to balance his film tour with racing, that sometimes put him on the backfoot with his training and race execution. We talk about his new home in France and how its helped him to lock in and focus on his training for races in Europe.

We obviously dive into his outstanding performance at CCC and how he feels to be racing the best trail runners in the world!

Luke is doing great things and I'm convinced he's set for more success in the coming seasons!

Head to his instagram page to get the links to all of his content and charity work.

Charlotte Fisher | Pre-UTMB Interview

Wednesday, August 26, 2026 • Duration 39:07

Message Home Trails here - include an email or name for a response ⬅️

Charlotte returns for a chat about UTMB.

We talk about this being Charlotte's debut at the big loop and how she feels going into race week. We talk about her time at the Hoka training camp in Chamonix and how she missed the start of the craziness beginning in the town to return to the Isle of Wight to be at home.

We talk about the pressure that she does/doesn't feel is on her for her first attempt at the race and how overall, she feels like the pressure is slightly off because its her first go at the race.

But as we all know with big races like this, anything can happen if you run your own race. We can't wait to start tracking on Friday!

UTMB Week - Preview!

Monday, August 24, 2026 • Duration 01:03:13

Message Home Trails here - include an email or name for a response ⬅️

It's UTMB week! So I sit down with Louise, one of the Home Trailers to discuss.

Louise is no stranger to UTMB and big ticket races, so she comes on to giver her perspective as a previous racer over in Chamonix and to give us the low down on the women's races.

We chat about the race schedule for the week, what the races are like and obviously the contenders for the podiums from the women's and mens elite fields. We also chat about the wildcards racing for the first time and who we think is being overlooked!

We end the chat with Charlotte Fisher popping on before her own pre-race interview (out in a few days)

For the keen listener....we had a couple of microphone mishaps in this episode, one involving me leaving my DJI mini mic on while I went inside to get a drink (plus some other stuff!) You'll maybe see or hear the outtakes at some point this week!
