We finally get to speak to a Nutritionist!   This week we speak to Steph Gaskell from Nutrition Strategies, a Dietician, Nutritionist and accomplished runner.  We talk gastric distress during racing and training, salt and electrolyte consumption, and whether there's a place for aid stations that look like 8 year old birthday parties.

Mind: Blown. This week we barely scratch the surface  regarding Tegyn Angel's incredible feats of endurance.  We find out about "Big Red", his 32kg Kettlebell that he carries up mountains, the 339km, 4 day running race he did through Italy; and the 3.5 hours he slept during it.  We also discuss sleeping on your feet, making your own water bladder out of kangaroo skin as part of Survival Run Australia, and how much mind games play a part in longer runs.  But don't worry, there are plenty of Chicken Chats... This is a jam packed episode with something for everyone. You can find Tegyn on Instagram @vfuelaustralia.

This is a long and entertaining episode with long-time runner Kieran Ryan.  We weave through his junior years as an 800m track runner, his transition to longer trail races, his love for running in the Grampians, and all the amazing relays he's been a part of.   Kieran also does amazing work for Movember and we chat about how 2 close friends took their lives and why he was compelled to help.

This week we chat to ultrarunner, mountaineer, and obstacle course racer Bich Jennings. We find out about her recent Nepalese climbing trips, how she changes up training for each endeavour, and her philosophies on diet and fuelling. There is more to this episode than meets the eye and I have a feeling there may be a benefit in listening more than once... You can find Bic on Instagram at @bichsorijen and Bic Bites @bichbites

Mixing it up with Nathan Fenton being the guest and Shaun Moore as the host! we find out a lot about his past running, ironman, triathlon and also he gives us a view into some future goals that none of us knew about! We ask about how he got into running and coaching and so much more.  He can be found at: instagram.com/snowyfenton instagram.com/enferrunning instagram.com/runpowercoach

This is a busy episode with plenty of laughs.   We chat to Pat about his time in the high-pressure world of a commercial kitchen and how that translated to his running.   Shout out time is getting ridiculous but the love and questions that came in for Pat provide plenty of insight into a man who has dialled in his training and racing. We were lucky to get confirmation, rebutle and clarification from Pat's twin brother Julian and there were more fist bumps than we knew how to deal with. This is a classic episode and one every runner can take some golden nuggets from. You can find Pat on Instagram @ultra_chef.

It's an open, honest, and raw episode this one.  We chat with Simone Brick about... well... everything.   We discuss her love for road and track, and recent love for trail, and how running fit in with her mental health and previous eating disorder, including how she eats now. The topics are vast and varied and well worth a listen.  There are nuggets of brilliant advice for everyone peppered all the way through this long podcast.

We're trying something a little different this week.  Instead of sitting in the studio with just one guest, we thought we'd go out to a race and speak to lots of guests! We went down to the Trails Plus event at The Tan in Melbourne on Sunday to see what kind of relationship people had with The Tan (Melbourne's most well known running location) and how much they knew about it. We spoke with: -Chris White  (@chris_jwhite) -Chris Wright  (@clwright1978 -Daniel Odonnell  (@prefitdan) -Bich Jennings  (@bichsorijen) -Em Fisher  (@funrun75) -Brett Smith  (@runnalittle) -Kieran Scarfe  (@the.shoe.wizard) -Mak Sawa  (@makalicious) -Nicky Hamilton-Morris  (@run.nicky.run) -Shaun Moore  (@running4mum) There were many people we didn't get to but hope to speak with in future.   Let us know what you thought of the episode.  We have a lot of learning to do but this is a start!

We're back, and we're in a new studio!  After a one week holiday where Pete moved house and Nath had knee surgery, we are excited to be back. This week we speak with trail runner, road runner, and exotic trail lover, Julia Gregory.
