  • Great to listen to on the run

    I’ve been trying to find a suitable podcast that talks you through a run as you’re running it. This is perfect - love the phased training ones as well! The interviews are really well delivered and relevant. We want to hear how ‘human’ the celebs are!!! Great work and I’ll continue to listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sophie Woods: SMASHING Via Alpina record by 6 DAYS!
Q: What was the toughest moment during the journey?
The thunderstorm near the top of a pass, with rain, hail, and lightning surrounding them, created a life-threatening moment and required immediate decision-making to descend and shelter.
Sophie Woods: SMASHING Via Alpina record by 6 DAYS!
Q: How did you approach planning for a multi-day, multi-country route like the Via Alpina?
There was a rough plan, but we left room to adapt day by day based on terrain and conditions, using experiences from others to inform better decisions and relying on support from George for navigation and logistics.
RunPod Sprint! Sophie Woods
Q: Can you describe what crewing looks like on a day-to-day basis?
The crew would wake early, prepare the runner, drive long distances between aid points, provide meals, manage logistics, and help maintain focus and morale throughout the day.
RunPod Sprint! Sophie Woods
Q: What was the lowest point mentally and what pulled you back from it?
The lowest moments revolved around difficult environmental conditions like horse flies, but the key to recovery was reaching the crew, sitting down, resetting, and then continuing with renewed resolve.
RunPod Sprint! Sophie Woods
Q: How do you train your body to run 15 to 18 hours a day for nearly a month?
Sophie emphasizes decade-long preparation, a strong focus on strength work alongside running, and mindful fueling strategies, including high-carb drinks and a careful balance of training days to avoid excessive long sessions.
