  • S7 E5: The Most Epic DNF Ever… and Why I’m Going Back for More
    Aug 13 2025

    Season 7 Finale 🎙️

    Andy’s first taste of Scotland’s wild trails became the perfect mental toolkit for the next big challenge. We close out the last kilometres of my Cocodona journey, sharing the raw feelings, the mess-ups that led to the most epic DNF, and exactly what I’ll do differently next year (because yes, we’re going back!).

    We’re taking a short break as we head to Black Rock City for Burning Man, then straight to Bali with the amazing women of Instinto Expediciones to climb Mt. Kawah Ijen & Mt. Agung. Spots are still open—join us! Next stop after that: Base Camp, Nepal.

  • S7 E4: Mud, Miles & Madness: My First Hallucinations on the Trail
    Jul 30 2025

    🎙️ Today’s episode is a wild one! We’re officially 3 weeks out from the Burning Man 50K , Andy’s very first ultramarathon and he just hit a huge milestone in his training this past weekend!

    We also have a little memory-lane road trip coming up, and in the second half of the episode, we dive deep into the Cocodona 250 journey from kilometer 110 to 200. This was by far the toughest section: wet, muddy, raw... and where I experienced my first-ever hallucinations.

    This is the kind of episode that reminds you what ultra running is really about : grit, growth, and going a little mad in the best way possible.

    🎧 Don’t miss it , press play and let’s get into it.

    Training continues as we gear up for Burning Man 50K and the ultimate goal: Cocodona250. The heat is on, literally. We've faced scorching long runs, tough miles… and now, Andy and I are about to part ways on the trail.

    In the second half of the episode, I take you back to the beginning of the Cocodona adventure. Join me as I relive the first 110 km where the excitement, the fear, and the reality of 250 miles truly began to unfold.

    🔥 Tune in for sweat, stories, and the start of something huge.
