In this episode of the Happy Trails Podcast, Benny and Mitch get the pleasure of chatting to an old Shire buddy and Host of the "Running Matters Podcast" Haddy.
The boys chat about the evolution of running podcasts, Haddy's journey from gymnastics to ultra running, and the challenges of balancing family life with competitive running.
They delve into the importance of community and charity in the running scene, share memorable experiences from races like the Oxfam Trailwalker and UTMB, and reflect on the changing landscape of trail running events. In this engaging conversation, the hosts discuss various aspects of running, including the inspiration drawn from interviews, overcoming challenges during races, and the importance of pacing and persistence in ultra marathons.
They chat about psychological aspects of racing, the experience of working in sports therapy, and the benefits of altitude training for performance. The discussion also touches on the dynamic of podcasting with a co-host, the emergence of young talents in the running scene, and future aspirations in both racing and professional endeavours.
This is a ripping chat and one you will enjoy.
