  • S2E9 Xmas Tech for Runners
    Nov 28 2024

    Send us a text

    It's moving ever closer to that festive time of year, plus the questionable discount period of Black Friday, so what better time to get a bit nerdy over the type of tech designed for and marketed towards runners? With such a huge range of items to choose from, covering pre-run prep, running performance and post-run recovery Nick and Matt jump in to discuss watches, heart rate monitors, body temperature monitors, footpods, foam rollers, inflatable leg warmers and massage guns with a blend of personal experience and (sometimes) actual science.

    So do yourself (or your loved ones!) a favour, and give this a listen before filling those stockings with shiny tech that might not quite be as useful as you'd hoped...

    Oh, and if you get to this before the end of November 2024 follow these links to get FREE kindle copies of Nick's two cookbooks for runners...proper tasty grub to keep your training on track!

  • S2E8 - Let us introduce our Sole Mate
    Nov 23 2024

    Send us a text

    This week Nick and Faye are delighted to be joined by Paul Thomas, owner of actual, real life, bricks & mortar running store Sole Mate, based in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales and right on the door step of some fantastic road and trail running.

    In the world of online shopping from faceless big box stores, Sole Mate has taken the local running scene by storm by providing a genuine customer experience whilst being laser focused on giving back to the community. Under the banner of "Mind and Sole Mate" they run a community interest company to raise funds for therapy and mental health workshops, as well as providing kit to get out onto the trails for those who need it most (because we all know how powerful running can be for our mental health!)

    Sole Mate's approach is clearly working as Paul shares some of the successes that have come from their hard work - such as their weekly social run having grown just 7 to regularly over 50 runners traveling to attend. Paul also shares a little "behind the scenes" into how Sole Mate came to be and what it takes to run the enterprise, whilst Nick and Faye join Paul in sharing their frustrations over examples of Gait Analysis done badly...

    Maximum Mileage are proud to be partnered with Sole Mate, providing discounts to members of our Patreon (links below). If you're ever in the area, or frankly even if it's a bit of a drive, Sole Mate is totally worth the visit for runners of all flavours

  • S2E7 - A Nutritional Hot Seat with Harvey Fortis
    Nov 15 2024

    Send us a text

    Aaannd, like the proverbial boomerang, we're back again!

    Yes, we know it's been another bit of a break but we're getting some rhythm back, promise! To that end we start by introducing Matt, who joins Nick and Faye as co-host, bringing his own mix of "all the gear, perhaps a little idea" in running, research and soft tissue therapy. Nick is going to be training Matt over his 2025 Centurion 50 Slam, so there will be plenty of insight into training plans and Matt's survival strategies moving forward :)

    We recap Nick's busy summer of running with both the Lakeland 50 and his family jaunt round France culminating in the CCC, plus his plans for the 2025 London Marathon and raising funds for Breast Cancer Now - see his Just Giving page for more on that

    Then we're into the meat of this episode, where Harvey Fortis, PhD in Exercise Physiology and Nutrition at Liverpool John Moores University, takes to the hot seat to answer all your questions on nutrition in running, including;

    • Should I consider taking protein on my longer runs?
    • Where do Ultra Processed Foods fit in for a runner?
    • Is a calorie deficit manageable whilst still training for performance?
    • What do we know about the differences in female and male athlete nutrition?


    Loads of great stuff, it will definitely make you question if you're carrying enough food with you when listening to it on a long run! Huge thanks to Harvey for coming on, and you can follow him on Instagram for more insights...
