This week we speak to Fleur Cushman from CurraNZ, the New Zealand black current supplement that's making waves in the ultra community.

This podcast is very science based so be prepared to either taker notes or save the transcript to refer to afterwards.

I first heard about the product from Kim Collison and Josh wade (among others) a few years back while the product was new to the Ultra and trail scene.

Over the past 12 years, a body of evidence, including dozens of studies into its effects on fat metabolism, heat acclimation, Vo2Max and recovery have all been published and some of the numbers actually seem impossible, so impossible that many of the studies had to be repeated numerous times to ensure they were indeed correct.

I've been using CurraNZ for the last week and although it's too early to be sure, I can definitely feel like something is happening, especially with recovery. So for a 46 year old ultra runner, my interest is peaked! Time will tell and I'll report my findings in the coming weeks. But don't take my word for it. Try it yourself and let us know!

On the Home Trails Podcast this week, I speak to Tommy Price, the ultimate comeback kid!

During a winter Bob recce, Tommy encountered severe weather that quickly made him hypothermic. His mate Max, unable to move Tommy back down the mountain had to make the decision to wrap him in a bivvy bag and go for help.

Shortly after, Tommy crawled out of the bag and suffered cardiac arrest while his body temperature plummeted to just 20 degrees. After hours out on the hill, exposed to the -15 wind chill, most paramedics would have assumed he was beyond saving, but Keswick MRT had other ideas!

They summoned a helicopter from North Wales to airlift Tommy to Newcastle where he received life saving treatments. Tommy wasn't out of the woods just yet as doctors feared he would be left brain damaged because he his heart had stopped for so long.

But, not only did he recover. But he recovered enough to race the London marathon in aid of his beloved Keswick MRT. Then, to complete the circle, Tommy returned to the Lake District to finish what he started. A successful Bob Graham Round!

In this podcast, Tommy tells the ultimate comeback story!
