Welcome to the Peak Endurance podcast! Episode 174 is another interview with Lincoln Quilliam, founder and race director for the Kunanyi Mountain run. When I interviewed Lincoln, he was overseas in Scotland as part his work for the Churchill Fellowship. Churchill Fellowships offer a diverse range of people from all walks of life an opportunity to travel overseas for four to eight weeks to explore a topic or issue that they are passionate about. The topic of people’s proposed projects are limitless, as long as they provide a benefit to Australia and the person is willing to share their findings with the Australian community is evident. Lincoln went to Europe to investigate the key features and benefits of aspirational trail running destinations with the findings to help him apply these features and benefits to Australian trail running. We discuss the state of European racing in this pod. I sure hope you enjoy it! Don’t forget to show your support for the show by rating, reviewing and subscribing! The link is in the show notes.

Hello and welcome back to the podcast! I hope your running and training is going well and if you are in Australia you are enjoying the cold weather, and we seem to be having a lot of it!! It’s been a busy couple of weeks for me. I ran the 42k at Wandi Cross. I ran this just as a training run and to have fun. I wanted to enjoy racing again without any pressure and boy I did. It was great! I loved the course: steep climbs, runnable downs and some steep slippery downs that ended up with me sliding on my butt! So much fun. Next up Ron and I are going to be sweeping the Surf Coast Trail marathon this weekend, so look out for us there!
