Cue the drumroll... the wait is finally over—the very first Tea & Trails Ultra has arrived! This week, we're diving headfirst into epic long runs that test the limits of sanity, other podcasts, and reliving a trail fuel related disaster. Of course, we also serve up our usual dose of TV talk, because even ultrarunners need sofa time. And through it all, we’re reminded that sometimes the boldest move is choosing to rest. So here’s to the noble rest day: the quiet champion whispering, “You’ve earned that nap... and maybe just one more episode.”

Lowri Morgan is a remarkable Welsh television presenter, adventurer, and runner. She’s one of the very few people to have completed both the grueling 350 mile 6633 Ultra in the Arctic and the Amazon Jungle Ultra Marathon.

Beyond her athletic feats, she’s a BAFTA winning broadcaster who’s presented shows like Scrum V on the BBC and Uned 5 on S4C. She’s also dived to the wreck of the Titanic and produced award-winning documentaries about her adventures.

What’s even more inspiring is that she overcame serious injuries, only to go on and conquer some of the world’s toughest races.

Our coaches share some tips on how to fuel an Ultra Marathon.

This week, we plummeted to new depths and somehow, Glory Holes ended up in the show. Don't ask. We move swiftly on (with some emotional scarring) to the real meat of the episode: fuelling your ultra without, breaking hearts, not wind, and how Gary’s Garmin cost him precious minutes.

We also crown the worst checkpoint food of all time. Plus, Gary dishes out his Swaledale Marathon tales.

Joe Barrs recently, one of the first-ever finishers of the grueling 293-mile Montane Arctic Spine Race, a brutal ultramarathon across Sweden’s Kungsleden Trail, where temperatures can plummet to -40°C and competitors haul their supplies on sleds.

A seasoned adventurer and a reservist with the Royal Marines Commandos, Joe was drawn to the race by the camaraderie of the Spine Race community. He completed the course in eight days, 15 hours, and 19 minutes, tying for second place with fellow racer Ulf Nore. His background includes winter ultramarathons, Alpine skiing, and mountaineering, so he’s no stranger to extreme endurance.

Honed in the peat bogs of the dark peak and the lake district rain, suffering enthusiast and of the belief that not much in life can't be improved with a cup of Yorkshire tea or a dunk in a cold body of water.

Not our words, but those of tea-slurping Cape Wrath Ultra champion and this week's guest, Sarah Ingram!
