    Lindsay Phenix - Ultra Running, 100-Mile Races & The Power of Mental Strength
    2026/11/03
    Lindsay Phenix is an ultra runner and run coach based in Los Angeles, California, who has completed more than 140 marathons and ultramarathons combined. In this episode, Lindsay shares her journey from running with her family as a child to taking on some of the toughest endurance events in the world, including the legendary Badwater 135 in Death Valley. She explains how she progressed from running one marathon a year to discovering her love for 100-mile races, and why endurance, patience and mental strength are key to success. We dive into the mental side of ultrarunning, exploring how to stay present over 100 miles, maintain focus, adapt when things go wrong and manage the physical and psychological challenges of running through the night. Lindsay also shares practical advice on pacing, nutrition, fuelling, sleep, strength training, recovery and running during your menstrual cycle. We discuss some of her toughest racing experiences, including the Hurt 100 in Hawaii, breaking her tailbone, and her dreams of taking on iconic events such as Western States 100, Hardrock 100, UTMB and the Tor des Géants. As a coach, Lindsay explains why the best training plan is the one you can consistently follow, why running needs to be a progression, and how she helps others work towards their own goals. This episode is packed with practical advice and inspiration for runners of all abilities. Lindsay also shares her thoughts on making running more inclusive and offers encouragement for women and girls who are ready to take a leap of faith and discover what they're capable of.

  • Juls Stodel -The Big Bothy Adventure & Finding History in the Landscape

    Juls Stodel -The Big Bothy Adventure & Finding History in the Landscape
    2026/10/27
    Juls Stodel is a writer, long-distance hiker, TGO (The Great Outdoors) magazine columnist, and trustee of the Mountain Bothy Association. Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, Juls has a deep love of history, wild places, and slow adventure. In this episode, Juls shares the story behind her ambitious Big Bothy Adventure – a journey to visit and spend a night in all 104 Mountain Bothy Association bothies across Scotland. Rather than racing from one destination to the next, Juls embraces a slower, more meaningful approach to adventure, giving herself permission to follow side quests, connect with people she meets along the way, and explore the rich human history woven into the landscape. We also dive into her experience walking the Wales Coast Path during the storm-filled winter of 2021/22, navigating broken tents, loneliness, river crossings gone wrong, and the importance of asking for help when you need it. Juls speaks openly about working with a therapist while on trail, why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellbeing, and how walking has become an important part of her life despite growing up with dyspraxia and never considering herself sporty. This conversation is full of stories about bothies, kindness, resilience, history, and the joy of exploring at your own pace. Juls also shares practical advice for anyone dreaming of their first adventure, reminding us that the biggest obstacle is often not the world around us, but doubting our own ability to cope when things don't go to plan. If you've ever been curious about bothies, long-distance walking, or finding confidence through adventure, this episode is for you. EXPLICIT: One F-bomb dropped!

  • Sarah Williams: Hiking the GR5 – 2,200km from Holland to Nice in 70 Days

    Sarah Williams: Hiking the GR5 – 2,200km from Holland to Nice in 70 Days
    2026/10/20
    On 20 July 2026, I set off from Hoek van Holland in the Netherlands, with the goal of hiking approximately 2,200km all the way to Nice on the Mediterranean coast. 70 days later, I reached the finish line after an incredible journey through the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland and France, tackling the French Alps and pushing myself both physically and mentally along the way. In this episode, I'm sharing the numbers, the stats, the preparation and the reality of taking on a challenge of this scale. From training and planning to wild camping, navigation, food, kit, motivation and the highs and lows of hiking solo, I'm answering your questions and sharing what I learnt along the way. I also reflect on why I chose the GR5, how I make time for these adventures, how it compares to my previous long-distance hikes, and what happens when you finally reach the finish line and have to adjust to normal life again. Whether you're planning your own long-distance hike, dreaming about a future adventure, or simply curious about what it takes to walk 2,200km in 70 days, this episode is for you! So grab a cuppa, get comfortable and join me for a deep dive into my GR5 adventure. *** New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)!
