In this episode, trail runner Lauren Gregory shares her journey from Colorado childhood to winning OCC at UTMB, her race strategies, and insights into the trail running community. Discover how she manages race challenges, her training approach, and the inspiring camaraderie among women in the sport.

This week, we’re joined by Jake Catterall, fresh from completing an incredible challenge in the Alps: linking the routes of MCC, OCC, UTMB, TDS, ETC, YCC and CCC, before finishing with the 300km PTL, all as one continuous superloop.

The result? Nearly 900km and 61,000m of elevation in just 12 and a half days.

Jake takes us through the journey behind the challenge, from the preparation and training to what it was actually like out there, and everything that went into making it happen.

An incredible achievement and a fascinating story from start to finish.

In a special collaboration between The RunThrough Podcast and The RunThrough Trails Podcast, host Ben Sheppard heads to the Peak District for two conversations with trail athletes Joe Farrelly and Jordan Rowe, in partnership with Samsung and the new Galaxy Watch Ultra2.

Joe shares how turning his life around led him to running and ultimately competing on the international trail running stage. He opens up about the experiences that continue to drive him, balancing training with work and family life, and his ambition to compete amongst the world's best.

Jordan's journey took him from school cross country to the NCAA system in America and years of track racing before a switch to the trails helped him rediscover his love for the sport. He discusses his competitive mentality, his desire to win and the challenge of stepping into a completely new side of running.
Along the way, they discuss racing, recovery and pushing their limits while putting the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2 through its paces on the trails.
