Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 140 - Record Breaking Day at EcoTrail Wicklow 2026
Q: Do you want to have a chat about the record numbers this year and maybe talk a little bit about how we got to the nearly 2,300?
We discuss the growth trajectory, the expanded race distances, and the careful scaling of logistics, permits, and land access that allowed the event to reach a record crowd while maintaining safety and experience. We also touch on how Paris as a blueprint informed the Wicklow setup and how a strong local organization, partnerships, and volunteer leadership made the expansion feasible.
Ep 138 Highlights Show - What it felt like to win the Kerry Way Ultra - Philip Slattery
Q: What lessons from your journey leading up to Kerry Way Ultra would you share with aspiring ultra runners?
Focus on gradual progression from shorter events to ultras, seek mentorship within a running club, stay consistent with training, be ready to adapt to what's in front of you, and build a strong support network to sustain both training and racing across years.
Ep 138 Highlights Show - What it felt like to win the Kerry Way Ultra - Philip Slattery
Q: How important was your crew and support network to your performance and mental state during the race?
The crew was absolutely vital; my wife Kim, Whacker, Sean, and my sons provided constant support, guidance, and practical help at checkpoints, and their belief kept me grounded and motivated to push through tough moments.
Ep 138 Highlights Show - What it felt like to win the Kerry Way Ultra - Philip Slattery
Q: Can you walk us through your nutrition strategy and how it supported the long hours?
I stuck to a strict fueling plan of about 75 grams per hour, alternating gels and chews, and I would take Ambrosio rice and watermelon at key aid stations; this consistent intake kept my energy stable and my stomach settled throughout the race.
Ep 138 Highlights Show - What it felt like to win the Kerry Way Ultra - Philip Slattery
Q: When did you first sense you could win, and how did you plan to escalate your lead?
Entering Waterville, I felt strong, and the crew's encouragement helped me push on while staying mindful of the long race; I began to believe in the possibility of the win there, but I kept it measured and avoided overextending, letting the course dictate the pace.
