Happy holidays folks! A few weeks back I recorded a special between-season catch up with now three-time guest Gayle Tait, fresh from her mad adventure at UTMB Oman last month. Gayle doesn’t need much intro if you’ve listened before but this ultra running mama is a force in the mountains and an amazing advocate for the power of speaking up. She’s been open about some life-changing mental health experiences (check out episode 25 for more on that). Gayle just got back from running and finishing the brutally technical UTMB Oman, after a difficult DNF at UTMB in Chamonix this summer. She takes us back to Oman with her, enlightening us on the trails, conditions, environment, importance of pre-race expectations and head space, the most difficult moments and just the physicality of the whole weekend, plus her experience with post-adventure blues. Enjoy and please show Gayle your love with a share, rating or little IG story. If you're keen on more bonus content go check out the Of Mountains and Minds page on Patreon, where you can sign up for just $5 per month and access behind the scenes episodes. And watch this space for series six, coming your way early in 2020.
