This week on the Tea & Trails Podcast… Eddie takes us deep into her Race Across Scotland experience, a journey of grit, grace, and gut battles. Though her race ended earlier than planned, Eddie’s spirit is anything but broken. She’s fit, and already eyeing the next adventure. But first, she’s pulling back the curtain on one of ultra running’s most mysterious foes: nausea.

In this unfiltered episode, Eddie shares the highs, the lows, and the unforgettable miles she conquered. Expect honesty, humour, and a few tears.

Huge shoutout to Debs & Rach for being the ultimate dream team crew, and to GB Ultras for putting on a race that’s as awesome as the Scottish terrain itself.

The Lakeland 50 & 100 is more than a race, it’s a gathering of grit, spirit, and togetherness. Thousands of legends weave through some of the most stunning landscapes in the country,

Coniston welcomed familiar faces this year. Eddie cheered on her athletes and every runner chasing their dreams. And Gary? He returned to the start line once more, eyes set on his fifth Lakeland 100 finish.

Here’s to every runner out there pushing limits, and to the magic that happens when people come together on the trails.

Anna Troup is a powerhouse in British ultrarunning, and her story is nothing short of epic. After dominating the Montane Summer Spine Race in 2021 and 2022, she suffered a serious foot injury that kept her sidelined for nearly three years. But in June 2025, at age 55, she made a jaw-dropping comeback: winning the 268-mile race outright in 84 hours, 56 minutes, and 37 seconds, finishing more than six hours ahead of the next competitor.

It’s race day at the 2025 Lakeland 100, and Gary’s lacing up with a quiet confidence, gently brushing aside those whispers of doubt. They’ll fade away as soon as the gun goes. Meanwhile, Eddie shares memories of the Isle of Wight’s magic & friendships forged on the trails.

Strava’s lit up with big miles and epic vert, and a bloody Tea & Trails Ultra Tales from the Trails.

To everyone daring to toe the line this weekend, go well, go bravely. You’ve already done the hardest part: showing up.

Also, don’t be shy out there. If you spot Gary or Eddie on the trail, give ’em a wave.

Eddie kicks things off this week with stories from her grand tour of Scotland, full of wild landscapes and even wilder adventures. Both hosts have been soaking up some much-needed family time, surviving dehydrated runs, and narrowly dodging toilet disasters...

Gary, along with hundreds of other trail runners, is deep in the taper trenches for the Lakeland 50 or 100. The countdown is on, and the excitement is building.

This week’s Brew with the Coaches dives into what race week really looks like: the nerves, the prep, and the little rituals that help you toe the line with confidence.

Grab a cuppa & settle in. Race day is coming, and you’re more ready than you think. 💪
