Luke Grenfell-Shaw is a remarkable endurance athlete, and cancer advocate whose story reads like a masterclass in resilience. Diagnosed with stage 4 sarcoma at just 24, he refused to let the label “incurable” define him. Instead, he coined the term “CanLiver”—someone who lives fully with cancer.

He’s cycled 30,000 km from Bristol to Beijing on a tandem bike, inviting hundreds of others, including fellow CanLivers, to join him along the way. He’s since become a professional trail runner for Brooks, and he casually ran an 80-minute half marathon during chemotherapy.

His story is a wild blend of grit, grief, and gutsy optimism,and it’s still unfolding.

This week, we raise our mugs and reflect on the inaugural Tea & Trails Ultra, an unforgettable celebration of endurance, friendship, and the wild beauty of the Lake District. 🍃☕🏃

From Applethwaite in the Northern Fells, 300 runners from near and far laced up to take on stunning trails and towering mountains. But this weekend wasn’t just about miles covered and peaks climbed, it was about connection & togetherness.

With festivities for runners, friends, and family alike, it truly was a weekend to inspire and uplift.

If you fancy joining us in 2026, entries will open soon so keep an eye on our social media channels or sign up to our newsletter to hear first.

Cue the drumroll... the wait is finally over—the very first Tea & Trails Ultra has arrived! This week, we're diving headfirst into epic long runs that test the limits of sanity, other podcasts, and reliving a trail fuel related disaster. Of course, we also serve up our usual dose of TV talk, because even ultrarunners need sofa time. And through it all, we’re reminded that sometimes the boldest move is choosing to rest. So here’s to the noble rest day: the quiet champion whispering, “You’ve earned that nap... and maybe just one more episode.”

Lowri Morgan is a remarkable Welsh television presenter, adventurer, and runner. She’s one of the very few people to have completed both the grueling 350 mile 6633 Ultra in the Arctic and the Amazon Jungle Ultra Marathon.

Beyond her athletic feats, she’s a BAFTA winning broadcaster who’s presented shows like Scrum V on the BBC and Uned 5 on S4C. She’s also dived to the wreck of the Titanic and produced award-winning documentaries about her adventures.

What’s even more inspiring is that she overcame serious injuries, only to go on and conquer some of the world’s toughest races.

This week, we plummeted to new depths and somehow, Glory Holes ended up in the show. Don't ask. We move swiftly on (with some emotional scarring) to the real meat of the episode: fuelling your ultra without, breaking hearts, not wind, and how Gary’s Garmin cost him precious minutes.

We also crown the worst checkpoint food of all time. Plus, Gary dishes out his Swaledale Marathon tales.

Joe Barrs recently, one of the first-ever finishers of the grueling 293-mile Montane Arctic Spine Race, a brutal ultramarathon across Sweden’s Kungsleden Trail, where temperatures can plummet to -40°C and competitors haul their supplies on sleds.

A seasoned adventurer and a reservist with the Royal Marines Commandos, Joe was drawn to the race by the camaraderie of the Spine Race community. He completed the course in eight days, 15 hours, and 19 minutes, tying for second place with fellow racer Ulf Nore. His background includes winter ultramarathons, Alpine skiing, and mountaineering, so he’s no stranger to extreme endurance.
