  • Stu Westfield - great episode

    Really interesting content. I have come across Stu and his races having finished 3rd to Sam at the Peak District South and North in 2021. I also spent a day with him as part of my Spine preparation. Very knowledgeable guy and interesting to hear from a race directors viewpoint.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TOMMY PRICE | From dying on a recce, to completing the Bob Graham Round!
Q: What happened during the Bob Graham recce that led to the crisis?
Tommy recounts a whiteout on Skiddaw that worsened into severe hypothermia during leg one; his condition deteriorated to the point of cardiac arrest on Blaine Cafferay, necessitating urgent CPR, defibrillation, and eventual transfer to hospital for ECMO rewarming.
LUKE GRENFELL-SHAW | 4th place at CCC
Q: How did the last-minute CCC course changes influence your race strategy?
The changes required adjusting nutrition and exploiting the descent while keeping fatigue under control, which helped maintain a steady pace rather than chasing the lead pack aggressively.
LUKE GRENFELL-SHAW | 4th place at CCC
Q: What has been the most significant shift in your training and life that contributed to your CCC result this year?
A conscious move to focus on one core goal, supported by a stable base in France with a coach who emphasizes periodization, and balancing adventure with recovery to sustain performance across the season.
RUN FOREVER | Damian Hall
Q: How do the case studies contribute to the book's message?
The case studies bring the concepts to life by showing diverse paths—Olympians, GB vest holders, and frontrunners who continued competing into their 50s and beyond—demonstrating that aging does not automatically equal decline while offering relatable, actionable insights.
RUN FOREVER | Damian Hall
Q: What are the core pillars of training for aging athletes according to the book?
The core pillars include maintaining VO2 max with short, intense workouts, regular strength training to preserve muscle and bone health, deliberate recovery with adequate rest, and thoughtful cross-training to reduce joint impact while maintaining fitness.
