Jenny Hartley - Summer Spine Champ #239
It’s the second time Jenny Hartley has joined us on the Tea & Trails Podcast, and she’s had quite the adventure since her last visit. The Invictus Games and Gladiators athlete has been busy up on the Pennine Way, setting off from Edale with one big goal in mind, to complete the Summer Spine Race. She made it all the way to Kirk Yetholm, kissed the famous wall, and did so before any other woman that week. The 268‑mile journey is packed with twists, turns, highs, lows, and all the chaos the Spine is known for, and Jenny shares every bit of it with us.

Lakeland Reflections & Finding Your Feet When the Mojo Slips #238
Gary is back from another epic and equally wonderful lakeland 50 and 100 weekend. Being on the Hardmoors checkpoint gave him a wonderful insight into the race from the front to the back of the field. Both hosts have been running and their weeks looked like normal training. You lot, meanwhile, have been absolutely crushing it over on Strava, and we’ve got another double Heavy Flexes week Eddie dishes out some wisdom and to wrap things up, Gary is wondering what training races to do as he trains for the 2027 Lakeland 100.

Trish Patterson - National Three Peaks FKT #235
This week our very own Trish Patterson joins us to share all the gory details from her record‑breaking National Three Peaks Challenge. What’s the challenge, you ask. The National Three Peaks involves summiting the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales. Most people drive between the trailheads. Some cycle and a special few run. However you tackle it, the clock starts at the first trailhead and stops at the final one. Trish ran the whole thing. All 450 miles. Heavy flex!

The Ultimate Guide to Training on Holiday #234
We are back! Thank you all so much for your patience while we both grabbed some much‑needed family time. I’d love to say we’re refreshed… but the grind never really stops, and the heroic amount of food and drink Gary put away is starting to take its toll. Time to slam the cookie jar shut before he’s forced into a full wardrobe update. Thank goodness Rebecca is part of our coaching team, because this week’s question needed the kind of proper medical know‑how only she can bring. You lot have also been busy racking up the miles on Strava, and we’ve got an inspiring, heart‑warming bunch of Heavy Flexes and Tales from the Trails to share.

Ed Payne - From DNF to Spine Champion #233
This week’s guest turned a 2025 DNF into a winning performance. After the heartbreak of last year, Ed Payne came back swinging, and what a comeback it was. A superb race saw him kiss the wall in just over 82 hours, taking the overall win at the 2026 Montane Summer Spine. Eddie’s flying solo on hosting duties, while Ed takes us through all the deets, the highs, the lows, the finish‑line feels, and exactly what it takes to conquer the Pennine Way when it's doing it's best to break you.

Anna Rutherford - Ultra Scotland 100 Champ #231
This week, we sit down for a chat with Ultra Scotland 100 champion, Anna Rutherford. Anna made history as the first ever female to win the Ultra Scotland 100-mile ultramarathon. Not only did she take the overall win, she smashed the previous course record — finishing in 20 hours, 53 minutes, and 25 seconds, cutting more than three hours off the old record of 24:19:25. In doing so, she also became the first ever female to win outright at a GB Ultras event. We go right back to the beginning of her journey, exploring how she balances solo parenting three young children while still putting in some truly epic training miles. And we’re excited to see what she can do next at the 2026 Race Across Scotland.

Over the Hill or Just Getting Started? #230
Both hosts have actually been out running this week, nothing wild, still baby steps for them both, but you can hear it already… that little lift in their voices. They’re loving having the wind in their faces again, even if it’s only for a few miles at a time. The coaches dive into a great question from an athlete with some big goals, but who might just need a proper cheerleader in her corner. Strava, as always, does not disappoint. You lot have been out there getting it done on the streets and the trails, serving up some sensational Heavy Flexes and a couple of cracking Tales from the Trails. And to round things off, we reveal our chosen Mastermind subjects, which may or may not expose some very niche obsessions.

David Miller - SPINE #229
This week we were lucky enough to spend an hour with the incredible David Miller. It was such a treat to hear the stories behind so many of the iconic images that define our sport. It turned into a super‑relaxed chat about running, Zoom vs Teams, the Barkley Marathons, and of course his upcoming book — SPINE: The Story of the Montane Winter Spine Race. SPINE is the definitive visual story of Britain’s most brutal ultramarathon, a premium photography book by David Miller, created in collaboration with Vertebrate Publishing and the organisers of the Montane Winter Spine Race.

Cross Training & Who's Your Dream Pacer? #228
It’s a bit of a rambling episode this week, but both hosts are noticeably more upbeat, and it won’t be long before they’re uploading runs to Strava again. We cover cross‑training, breastfeeding while training, pleasuring yourself (yes… that happened), and the all‑important question, who would be your dream pacer in a race. There are loads of competitions happening over on Instagram right now, so make sure you check out the Tea & Trails account for your chance to win big. We’ve also had some seriously impressive running in the Strava club, a cheeky Heavy Flex, and a podium‑finishing Tales from the Trails to round things off.

Laura Swanton-Rouvelin - Hardmoors 200 Champ #227
Inov‑8 athlete and past Tea & Trails guest Laura Swanton‑Rouvelin joins us this week for another deep dive into all things Hardmoors 200. It was a gutsy move from Laura to come back and defend her title especially in a race where there is so much jeopardy. But she did it. Laura crossed the line in first place, bagging herself a course PB for good measure too. It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though. Far from it. Laura takes us through the highs, the lows, the wobbles, and the moments of strength that carried her through 200 brutal miles across the Wolds, Coastal Trails & Moors.

Are Runners Getting Lazy? GPS or Map? #226
Even though Eddie and Gary are on the rebuild, they’re still somehow busier than a Greggs on match day. Gary’s had a short stay in the comparison trap, but a chance encounter with a real‑life hero gave him the reality check he needed. Both hosts also find themselves openly thirsting over an A‑list movie star. Zero shame from both. We also sing the praises of the humble home gym. We’re not talking squat racks. We mean the trusty dumbbell, a couple of resistance bands, and a yoga mat. And to round things off, the coaches chat about the simple brilliance of taking a map out on the trails. Old‑school. Reliable and it doesn’t run out of battery halfway up a mountain.

UTS 100K - Katie Kars-Sijpesteijn #225
This week we’re sharing the mics with friend of the show Katie Kaars-Sijpesteijn. A Salomon and GB athlete, Katie has lined up, and podiumed, at some of the most competitive races out there. But the last 12 months have taken her down a very different path as she chased a sub‑3 road marathon. Not exactly the classic tune‑up for UTS by UTMB 100K, yet it clearly worked… because she stormed her way to 2nd place in a seriously stacked field. We chat about her recent races, the unconventional build‑up, and her journey back to racing as a mother of two young children.

Run Less, Gain More #224
This week, both hosts are… well, struggling. Gary is still absolutely smashed to bits from his first 200‑mile adventure, and Eddie is improving, but living with the uncertainty of injury is tough. So, for Brew with the Coaches, it’s just Gary and Trish, which basically means Trish is doing all the heavy lifting while Gary sits there like a man held together by tape, tea, and wishful thinking. We chat about how an indoor bike can slot into your training, whether you’re injured, time‑crunched, or just avoiding another soaking on the moors. And Eddie and Gary have a good natter about that strange space between finishing a big race and starting structured training again: the no‑man’s‑land of recovery, reflection, and trying not to sign up for something ridiculous too soon.

Gary Thwaites - Hardmoors 200 Champ #223
Ten years ago, Gary popped his 100‑mile cherry on the Cleveland Way. Countless miles have been covered between then and now, but after a bit of refocusing found himself back on a start line, this time for the Hardmoors 200. Starting in Hull, the route winds through wooded slopes, over rolling hills, and down into deep valleys, before eventually climbing onto the northern escarpment and dropping toward the final stretch of the Wolds Way. At Filey you join the stunning 110‑mile Cleveland Way National Trail. Over the course of the weekend, Gary’s race evolved from simply getting the job done to suddenly finding himself in pole position… and then hanging on for dear life as the pack closed in.

Hardmoors 200 - Recover like a Pro #222
This week, Gary is back from a very successful Hardmoors 200. It’s not our full recap, but he shares some thoughts and takeaways from the whole 200 mile experience, and it’s fair to say his emotions are easily triggered right now. Eddie is still on the injury bench, which is rough. Small gains, but sad times for our Eddie. The coaches tackle a listener question from someone who wants to become a coach, and we chat through what recovery can look like after a big race. This bumper episode also has Birthday Shout‑outs, Heavy Flexes, Tales from the Trails, and another incredible Strava Club.

Kim Collison - Lakes, Meres & Waters Record #221
We’re incredibly lucky this week to share the mics with a true legend of our sport. Kim Collison has taken on, and completed, some of the UK’s roughest, toughest challenges. And it’s not all about going long either. He’s just as happy toeing the line at a local fell race. Kim joins us to talk about his recent Lakes, Meres & Waters record‑breaking run, but the conversation wanders beautifully through all sorts of topics, nutrition, training, how he picks his challenges and even his journey with cholesterol medication. Kim’s not someone who seeks the limelight, so it felt like a real treat, for us and for you listening, that he said yes to our persistent DMs. HARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMea XMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeR FENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/ PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first order PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25z STRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Ad https://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEA ASCEND APP - Use code TeaandTrails30 to receive 30% off a monthly subscription. https://ascendtrailapp.avln.me/c/MOwNWISPDOwi Content contains affiliate links which help support this channel at no cost to you.

Hardmoors 110 & 200 - Race Week #220
It’s finally here. The training is done, the excuses are gone, and Gary, along with a whole crew of wonderfully stubborn athletes, is about to set off on an adventure that will push every limit they’ve got. There’ll be moments of doubt, a few questionable life choices, and probably more than one internal conversation about retiring from running altogether. But there will also be magic. A full weekend of grit, laughter, memories, and people proving, yet again, that what seems impossible is absolutely within reach.
