4R’s Bonus Episode: A Request, Races, A Reveal, and a Reminder For You
Ever felt like life is running you instead of the other way around? This bonus episode is just what you need! I open up about the whirlwind that's taken over my schedule, sharing some personal updates and exciting news. No guest this week, but there's still a wealth of content to explore. Why not revisit some past episodes brimming with golden nuggets on ultra running, mental resilience, and nutrition? We've had amazing stories and insightful conversations with brilliant guests that might just offer the inspiration or tip you've been looking for.
Get a sneak peek into my upcoming adventures, both in running and life. From preparing for the Dinosaur Valley 100 and the monumental Cocodona 250, to my new camper van that’s going to make race weekends an absolute blast. Also, I'm heading back to the UK and plan to share some epic hikes and scenery. I’m inviting you to be part of these journeys—maybe even join me at a race. Plus, if there’s a topic you’re dying to hear about, drop me a line. Your input could light the spark for a future episode. Thanks for sticking with us, and as always, keep choosing to endure.

Discover raw, inspiring stories from runners who've been right where you are.
00:00:06.613 --> 00:00:16.711
This is the Choose to Endure Ultra Running Podcast With your host he's English, not Australian Richard Gleave.
00:00:16.711 --> 00:00:25.131
Hey everyone, and welcome to this special bonus episode of Choose to Endure.
00:00:25.131 --> 00:00:33.463
I've got to be real with you, life has been a bit hectic and unfortunately, I don't have a guest or topic to share with you this week.
00:00:33.463 --> 00:00:42.631
But don't worry, we're still here, we're still together and I do have a few exciting things that I figured I would just talk to you about instead.
00:00:42.631 --> 00:00:53.024
So, first off, if you've got a little extra time, since you don't have a new episode to listen to, I would love for you to take a trip back through the Choose to Endure catalog.
00:00:53.024 --> 00:01:01.732
Whether you've been with us since the beginning or you're newer to the podcast, I'm pretty sure there's an episode that you haven't yet had the chance to listen to.
00:01:01.732 --> 00:01:06.131
So go ahead, scan through that, pick one and jump right in.
00:01:06.131 --> 00:01:08.966
We've had some really incredible guests.
00:01:08.966 --> 00:01:19.045
They've shared some brilliant insights and some amazing stories about ultra running, about being back of the pack, about mental strength, nutrition and a whole lot more.
00:01:19.045 --> 00:01:25.650
So I would love for you to go find an episode you haven't listened to yet and give that one a spin Now.
00:01:25.650 --> 00:01:27.602
Don't think I'm leaving you hanging for too long.
00:01:27.602 --> 00:01:33.322
I do have some exciting guests lined up to help close out season two.
00:01:33.322 --> 00:01:40.206
We just couldn't make it work in the time frame to get something out this week, so stay tuned for those in the coming weeks.
00:01:40.206 --> 00:01:57.311
For sure and also a little personal update for you at the beginning of October I will be heading back to the UK for a visit which I am also really looking forward to, and hopefully I'll be able to share some of the awesome hikes and hills that we get up to over there.
00:01:57.311 --> 00:02:00.141
Definitely want to share some more of that adventure.
00:02:00.141 --> 00:02:15.092
On top of that, I wanted to also take a moment to share my upcoming race schedule, just in case you didn't know, because, hey, if any of you are feeling adventurous, why not come join me at one of these events?
00:02:15.860 --> 00:02:32.487
So, with the help of Team Ninja Coaching big shout out to Greg, jen and all the other amazing ninjas out there I am gearing up for Dinosaur Valley 100 in November, which is almost sold out at this point.
00:02:32.487 --> 00:02:35.903
I think, if it isn't already, that is going to be an epic race for sure.
00:02:35.903 --> 00:02:42.686
The Bandera 100K in January, a race which I like kicking rocks, just crazy out there.
00:02:42.686 --> 00:02:45.612
And then in February, for me it's the Swami Shuffle.
00:02:45.612 --> 00:02:47.728
I want to try and do better than I did last time.
00:02:47.728 --> 00:02:55.174
And of course, the big one is in May Cocodona 250 to celebrate my 50th birthday.
00:02:55.174 --> 00:03:04.012
I can't tell you how excited I am to do that race and really, if you're thinking about signing up for any of these, I would love to see you out there.
00:03:04.012 --> 00:03:05.584
Come suffer with me.
00:03:05.584 --> 00:03:13.985
It'll be fun, and usually I do these solo, but maybe for Cocodona I might even be looking for a crew or paces, so bear that in mind too.
00:03:13.985 --> 00:03:15.545
I think it'll be awesome.
00:03:16.581 --> 00:03:17.826
But that's not all.
00:03:17.826 --> 00:03:22.512
I also have another little surprise coming your way soon.
00:03:22.512 --> 00:03:30.626
I recently bought an epic new camper van and I cannot wait to take it with me to all of these races.
00:03:30.626 --> 00:03:40.002
It's going to make camping and hanging out for the weekend so much easier, and I am really looking forward to giving you a full tour of this thing on social media.
00:03:40.002 --> 00:03:44.973
It's seriously cool and I will be posting about it in the coming weeks.
00:03:44.973 --> 00:03:58.603
There might even be a naming contest, so make sure you're following along there so that you don't miss that big reveal, and also, if there is a particular topic you want to hear more about, definitely let me know.
00:03:59.091 --> 00:04:03.141
I love hearing from listeners about what you're dealing with in your own running journey.
00:04:03.141 --> 00:04:13.960
Maybe it struggles with motivation I know I'm right there through these summer months, for sure or balancing training with life, or your mental game during long races.
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:18.079
Whatever it is, if there's something on your mind, shoot me an email.
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:26.771
We have an email address here info at choosetoeendurecom Pretty straightforward or drop a comment on the Facebook page or Instagram.
00:04:26.771 --> 00:04:34.814
I would really love to get your input and, who knows, your question or idea might even spark a future episode.
00:04:34.814 --> 00:04:42.894
In fact, one of the next episodes we're about to drop came about in just that manner, so stay tuned.
00:04:42.894 --> 00:04:49.237
I'm going to give a shout out to the individual that suggested that, because I think the guest is amazing and I think you'll really like it.
00:04:50.420 --> 00:04:58.701
So while we're waiting on new episodes, I also want to remind you that there are lots of ways to interact with the show.

00:05:10.064 --> 00:05:17.672
If you're enjoying the podcast, I would really appreciate it if you could leave a review on Apple podcast or drop a comment on Spotify.
00:05:17.672 --> 00:05:28.973
Those reviews help the show reach more runners like you, and it means the incredible stories and advice from guests can help as many people as possible.
00:05:28.973 --> 00:05:42.819
So thanks for sticking with me, and while I don't have anything new for you this week, I promise we've got some awesome things lying ahead to help us get through to the end of season two and then, who knows what, in season three.
00:05:42.819 --> 00:05:51.793
Now I have this new camper van and I want to get into some more live on-site race specific recordings as well, so that could be really cool.
00:05:51.793 --> 00:05:59.160
Until then, keep choosing to endure, keep chasing those goals, and I'll be back soon with some fresh content.
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.750
