Welcome to the Wild Ginger Running YouTube channel live broadcast and podcast, today we are talking to a personal trainer I admire very much indeed. She has recently completed the 103 mile Five Rivers Ultra and she never fails to inspire me every time I stalk her on instagram because her situation is often very much like mine - she’s an ultra running mum of one like me! She’s also one of my Patreons who supports the channel every month which is incredible, today we’re chatting to Melissa Mason!

This is an exclusive opportunity to win a pair of Tom Evans Signature Series SunGod Ultras™, which are brand-new and as-yet unreleased!
Featuring award-winning zero bounce frame design and market-leading 8KO frameless lens technology, these Limited Edition Tom Evans SunGod Ultras™ are designed to elevate performance on the trails.
Entirely unique, the splatter design on the frame is the embodiment of Tom's desire to stand out on the trails as he blazes ahead as one of the most legendary ultra runners in the world. But for Tom, this product isn't just about his own journey, which is why his Signature Series Ultras are rounded off with the simple mantra to which he owes his success: "Endure + Compete".

More amazing advice from coach and physio Tim Pigott from HP3 Coaching fresh from his 10th place at Ultra Trail Snowdonia (UTS) 100k, including the best way to stay cool and hydrated while running in hot weather (like we had on race day), how to be more efficient in aid stations, how to be tactical to avoid bottlenecks and queues, how to prepare a pre-race plan with enough food, drink and with timings to beat the cut offs comfortably, why you should be looking at more than just your choice of shoe (socks and insoles also make a massive difference), how to keep going when everything hurts or you have a low point, and how to recover from a big race. THANKS TIM!

Longtime Patreon of Wild Ginger Running YouTube channel Hannah Bazley has stunned us all again with her incredible feats of endurance, this time running/hiking the Pennine Bridleway 270km (168 miles). I think we’re going to have to stop referring to her as a “normal” person at this rate. She does these far too often now. But anyhoo, how was it? How does she train? How does she keep going? What does she eat? How motivating are her children and hubby? How does she recover after wards? And what’s this about her being joint first lady finisher?
