Welcome! Welcome to the Wild Ginger Running Q&A, this is the show where I answer your questions about trail and ultra running, live on YouTube. (Scroll down for links to other useful resources/films/gear that get mentioned)
Questions covered tonight: we are going to be talking about the Covid-19k Challenge medals, and discussing whether the UTMB will be going ahead. I’ve got the top 3 pieces of training advice for trail races for road runners, we’ve got chafing and blisters covered, talking about plantar fasciitis, nutrition – when to eat on long runs and how to deal with stomach problems from high sugar bars and gels, we’ve also got some advice for runners in their 50’s. And I’ll try to get through as many of your questions on the live chat as well if we have time.
To end the broadcast there’s 2 things – I need your opinion on something to do with the new podcast version of these Wednesday night shows, and want to tell you about some extra content I’ve made exclusive to Patreons which will air on Friday.
In these live broadcasts always give priority to my Patreons who are the very generous and very loyal supporters of Wild Ginger Running YouTube channel, so if you want access to our inner circle (exclusive Facebook group y’all!), competitions, merchandise, extra content, meet ups, training advice, then then take a look at all the perks on Patreon. www.patreon.com/WildGingerRunning
