Lucy returns to the Home Trails Podcast to talk about her new Pennine Way record!
After a previous attempt to complete as a self supported record attempt, Lucy returned to finish the job......and finish it she did! Knocking 2 hours off Anna Troup's previous record. 
Lucy talks about her recovery, which involves going back to work (seriously), swollen legs and zero alcohol beers! She plans to head up to the LAP tomorrow to watch her sister run and eat lots of cake (her, not her sister!)
We talk about the laid back fun approach to the monumental effort that saw her run for just under 3 days straight, an achievement that no other woman has managed until now!
We talk about her support crew that was a who's who of the UK ultra-running community and how they got her through the highs and the lows of the epic journey from Kirk Yetholm back to Edale.
Lucy believes that another woman could get closer to the 65 hour mark on the right weather window. But until that happens we have a new Pennine Way record holder. 
Take a bow GOSS!

This episode is a celebration of women's ultra-running this week!
We recap the new FKT on the Pennine Way by Lucy Gossage of 70 hours 47 minutes and 15 seconds!
We discuss Rasselbock BYU winner Becky Atkinson and the fact that the final 3 runners were all women, which included our very own Home Trailer - Hayley Wilson who provided the assist.
Megan Eckert finishes Hungary's EMU 6 day race, running an impressive 636.5 miles for a 6 day world's best, becoming the first woman to pass the 1000KM mark! 
last, but by no means least....Louise Brookwell returns to the podcast to talk about her own overall win at the Ring Of Fire 130 ultra. We dive into her training and lead up to this local race on Holyhead. We talk about how her race was almost upended by going off course not 1, but 3 times! We talk about the fact that she feels part of something bigger than just her own race, with amazing results being put up by women all over the world at the moment.
As Louise put it....it was her turn to 'Pull a Rachel Entrekin' and say "Why not me?"
Why not indeed!

Luke returns to the podcast to talk about his recent 4th place at the UTMB World Finals in Chamonix in the CCC race.
Before we dive into his awesome performance in the 100k race, we catch up on what he's been up to since we last spoke, which was in April of 2025! He speaks about him finishing his Bristol to Bejing cycle for charity, the ensuing film tour that took over his life for a while and his racing in between.
Luke talks about trying to balance his film tour with racing, that sometimes put him on the backfoot with his training and race execution. We talk about his new home in France and how its helped him to lock in and focus on his training for races in Europe.
We obviously dive into his outstanding performance at CCC and how he feels to be racing the best trail runners in the world! 
Luke is doing great things and I'm convinced he's set for more success in the coming seasons!
Head to his instagram page to get the links to all of his content and charity work.

Charlotte returns for a chat about UTMB.
We talk about this being Charlotte's debut at the big loop and how she feels going into race week. We talk about her time at the Hoka training camp in Chamonix and how she missed the start of the craziness beginning in the town to return to the Isle of Wight to be at home.
We talk about the pressure that she does/doesn't feel is on her for her first attempt at the race and how overall, she feels like the pressure is slightly off because its her first go at the race. 
But as we all know with big races like this, anything can happen if you run your own race. We can't wait to start tracking on Friday!

It's UTMB week! So I sit down with Louise, one of the Home Trailers to discuss.
Louise is no stranger to UTMB and big ticket races, so she comes on to giver her perspective as a previous racer over in Chamonix and to give us the low down on the women's races.
We chat about the race schedule for the week, what the races are like and obviously the contenders for the podiums from the women's and mens elite fields. We also chat about the wildcards racing for the first time and who we think is being overlooked!
We end the chat with Charlotte Fisher popping on before her own pre-race interview (out in a few days) 
For the keen listener....we had a couple of microphone mishaps in this episode, one involving me leaving my DJI mini mic on while I went inside to get a drink (plus some other stuff!) You'll maybe see or hear the outtakes at some point this week!
