Tom returns to the Home Trails podcast!

We talk about his 3rd place at the UTS 100 miler at the past weekend. We dive into his training and racing leading up to his podium success and we discuss the changes he's made to bring him back to his former racing form.

One of which is upping his iron intake to raise his ferritin levels and help him to regain his strength and recovery prowess!

We talk about his race calendar for the year and how this performance sets him up for his goals later in the year at UTMB.

Home Trails were the official Podcast in residence at The LAP 2025!

This is a long episode but it has 3 distinct parts. So if you were interviewed by me over the weekend then it should be fairly easy to find yourself if you want to skip some parts.

In the first section I speak to everyone in the queue for registration on Friday night. So if you were one of the unlucky ones to smile at me and then receive an interview, then it will be in the first 30 mins

The middle part from around 30 mins is the pre-race chats at the start on Saturday morning. Then the on course interviews, mainly at Troutbeck (the pizza checkpoint)

I also speak to race winners Lucy Gossage, Tom Smith and the previous course record holder, second placed male Joel Jameson.

Then we dive back out on course to speak to everyone coming through the final checkpoint at Finsthwaite, just 5.3 miles from the end where we wrap things up.

Thanks to everyone who put up with me pointing a GoPro or camera in their face over the weekend. Please feel free to share the episode in either audio or video, to anyone you know who was at the race over the weekend.

In this episode of the Home Trails Podcast, I speak to Rebecca Hormann.

Last week, Rebecca stormed to victory at the GB ULTRAS Pennine Barrier 50 in 8:45:58, to not only win, but take 4th place overall

Rebecca is well traveled and holds multiple passports due to her heritage. She grew up in America, then moved to Spain for her soccer career (football), then moved to Malaysia, followed by Northern Ireland, Switzerland and finally good old Blighty!

During her travels Rebecca started to run, then the pandemic hit and she really got into running.

Since then she's gone from strength to strength, either winning or podiuming in every race she enters! I first met Rebecca at Alston during her Spine Challenger North race back in January, where I mistook her for a Canadian I'd raced with previously! Fortunately, she saw the funny side and didn't hold it against me

We made arrangements to podcast after that race, but due to my poor scheduling its taken until now to sort out!

Rebecca was a pleasure to speak to and 💯 she will continue to win bigger and bigger races!
