Fuel or fail? That’s the make-or-break question every runner faces.In this no-fluff episode of The Flying RuNR Podcast, the crew dives deep into running nutrition — from pre-run meals that set you up for success to mid-run fuels that keep you flying past the wall, and post-run recovery that actually rebuilds you for your next PB.Lucia puts donuts on the table (literally 🍩) and sparks one of the most entertaining — and surprisingly science-backed — debates yet.

In this powerful Brisbane-local episode, we sit down with Nicole Jukes – the first (and still only) Australian female to win a Backyard Ultra worldwide. Nicole opens up about her rapid rise from a 2015 10 km starter to ultra distances, her record-breaking 201 km at Dead Cow Gully (30 laps, female record 2022), her win at the States of Origin Last One Standing, and how the relentless "get up every hour" format of backyard ultras mirrors life's toughest moments.As a qualified lawyer, Master of Law student, single mum of two, neurodivergent runner, and founder of BYU Australia (bringing backyard events Down Under), Nicole shares raw insights on juggling full-time work, parenting, grief recovery, and ultra training. We dive into mental strength strategies, efficient pacing for long-haul endurance, coaching tips for shift workers/mums/perimenopausal women/injured athletes, and why she believes we're all capable of far more than we imagine.Whether you're chasing your first ultra, navigating life balance, or just need inspiration to "choose to get up," Nicole's story delivers grit, heart, and practical wisdom.Key Topics & Timestamps (Adjust based on actual recording timestamps)00:00 – Intro & Welcome to the Flying RuNR Podcast02:00 – Updates from the Marathon Mates10:40 – News Update15.45 – Welcome Nicole Jukes18:57 – How Not running Tokyo in 2020 turned Nicole to Backyard Ultras26:50 – Building Mental Toughness32:10 – Common running mistakes40:00 – How the hell do you run a BackYard Yltra47:00 – The Fast 749:46 – Lucia’s TipGuest Bio – Nicole JukesBrisbane-based ultra runner & accredited Advanced Running CoachFirst Australian female Backyard Ultra winner (States of Origin 2022)Founder of BYU Australia & Nicole Jukes CoachingFisiocrem-sponsored athlete, Running Mums Australia ambassadorLawyer, Master of Law student, mum of two, neurodivergentWebsite: nicolejukescoaching.com.auInstagram: @nicolejukescoaching Links & Resources MentionedNicole's Coaching Site: https://www.nicolejukescoaching.com.au (book personalised plans or speaking gigs)BYU Australia: Follow backyard events in QLD/AUSPrevious Nicole interviews for deeper dives:Running Deep Podcast – "From Grief to Glory" (2023)RMA Podcast Ep 50 – "Choosing to Get Up" (2022)Backyard Ultra Podcast (2022 recap)Talking Tempo Ep 17Dead Cow Gully Documentary (YouTube) for visual context on her recordCall to ActionIf Nicole's story fired you up, smash that subscribe/follow button, drop a 5-star review on Apple/Spotify (mention "Brisbane ultra inspo" for extra love), and share your biggest takeaway on Instagram – tag @flyingrunrpodcast and @nicolejukescoaching for a repost!Running Mums Australia crew – this one's for you.

Running every day sounds simple enough… but is it actually a good idea?In this episode of the Flying RuNR Podcast, we dive into the concept of run streaking — the commitment to run at least one mile (or a set distance) every single day for an extended period of time.For some runners, streaking becomes a powerful motivator and a way to build consistency. For others, it raises questions around recovery, injury risk, and long-term sustainability.We explore both sides of the debate and discuss whether running every day is a path to stronger habits — or a shortcut to burnout.🏃 What is Run Streaking?Run streaking typically involves running every single day without a break for weeks, months, or even years.Some runners follow formal streaking rules, such as those recognised by organizations like the United States Running Streak Association, which define a streak as running at least one mile every day.But beyond the definition lies the bigger question:Is running every day actually good for you?✅ The Benefits of Run StreakingWe discuss why many runners choose to start a streak and what keeps them going:Consistency and discipline – building a daily habit around movementMotivation – the streak itself becomes a powerful reason not to skip a runMental resilience – learning to show up even when conditions aren’t perfectRoutine and structure – daily running can simplify training habitsFor some runners, streaking becomes a way to stay connected to the sport year-round.⚠️ The Drawbacks to ConsiderWhile the idea of running every day sounds inspiring, it also raises some important concerns.We talk about the potential downsides, including:Lack of recovery time for the bodyOvertraining riskPressure to maintain the streak, even when injured or exhaustedMental fatigue from feeling like you can’t miss a dayRunning improvement often depends on balancing training stress with recovery, and streaking can challenge that balance.🚑 Possible Problems Runners May EncounterStreaking can also create situations where runners ignore warning signs.We discuss issues such as:Small injuries that become bigger problemsRunning when the body is asking for restThe temptation to prioritise the streak over long-term healthThe key question becomes: Is the streak serving the runner — or is the runner serving the streak?🎯 Finding the Right Balance💬 Join the ConversationLike many things in running, the answer isn’t one-size-fits-all.Some runners thrive with daily running, especially when they keep distances short and listen carefully to their bodies. Others benefit far more from a structured plan that includes dedicated rest days.Ultimately, the goal is sustainable running that keeps you healthy and enjoying the sport for years to come.Have you ever tried a run streak?How long did it last — and what did you learn from the experience?Share your story with the Flying RuNR community, because every runner’s journey is different.🏃 Flying RuNR Reminder: Finish Lines.

Running exposes you to a lot of things — beautiful sunrises, supportive crowds, personal breakthroughs.But sometimes… it also exposes you to the very strange.In this episode of the Flying RuNR Podcast, Tim is back in the host chair and is joined by Pieta, Tony and Tara for a fun and slightly bizarre conversation about the weirdest things we’ve seen while running.From unusual race-day sights to strange food on course and some truly questionable training advice, this episode proves that runners experience things the rest of the world never sees.👟 What We Talk About🏁 The Weirdest Thing We’ve Seen in a RaceRaces can bring out the best in people… and sometimes the most unexpected behaviour.We share some of the strangest things we’ve witnessed on race day — the kind of moments that make you wonder if you imagined it while running past.🦶 Minimalist Shoes… or No Shoes at AllRunning footwear has evolved a lot over the years, but some runners take it right back to basics.·         We talk about:·         Barefoot runners·         Minimalist footwearAnd the surprising places people choose to run without much protection underfoot.Is it impressive, brave… or just a little bit crazy?🍕 The Weirdest Food We’ve Seen on CourseAid stations are usually pretty predictable — water, sports drink, maybe some fruit.But sometimes races (or spectators) offer something a little more unusual.We share the strangest food items we’ve ever seen available mid-race and discuss whether any of them might actually work.📋 The Weirdest Thing We’ve Seen in a Training PlanTraining plans are supposed to guide runners safely to the start line — but every now and then you come across advice that makes you stop and ask:“Did someone really recommend that?”We talk about some of the most unusual training suggestions we've seen and discuss what actually makes sense.😄 The Big TakeawayRunning isn’t just about pace, distance, or finish times. It’s also about the stories — the strange moments, unexpected encounters, and things you only ever see when you're out there logging the miles.💬 We’d love to hear from you:What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen while running?Let us know and your story might make it into a future episode.👟 Flying RuNR Reminder:Finish Lines.

We all have bucket lists a mile long. Majors. Destination races. Iconic courses. Shiny medals.But here’s the real question: How do we actually decide which races make the cut?In this episode, we pull back the curtain and share our personal non-negotiables when it comes to choosing races — especially international ones. From logistics to bling, PB potential to pure experience, we break down what makes us say “YES!”… and what makes us walk away.Because not every race is right for every runner — and that’s okay.🌍 What We Cover in This Episode1️⃣ The Instant Yes or Hard NoWhen considering an international race, what’s the very first factor that seals the deal — or shuts it down immediately? We talk about red flags, gut feelings, and the one thing that matters most before anything else.2️⃣ Race-Day Non-NegotiablesWeather. Elevation. Terrain. Course profile.What are we willing to tolerate… and what’s a complete deal-breaker?From pancake-flat PB courses to challenging, scenic adventures — we share where we each draw the line.3️⃣ Reputation & Community VibesHow much do reviews, race reputation, and runner culture influence our decision?Is a well-organised event with strong community spirit more important than a flashy location? And how much weight do we give to other runners’ experiences?4️⃣ Logistics Matter (More Than You Think)Before we click “Register,” we look at:Accommodation availabilityEase of transportCourse supportAid stationsCrowd energySafetyBecause sometimes the difference between a dream race and a stressful one comes down to the details.Are we chasing:A PB?A bucket-list experience?Incredible bling?A scenic destination?A meaningful milestone?We share how our goals influence our race calendar — and why different seasons of running call for different types of events.Choosing a race isn’t just about distance. It’s about alignment.With your goals. With your values. With the kind of experience you want to have.Because at the end of the day, it’s about more than miles.💬 We’d love to hear from you: What’s your biggest race-day non-negotiable?

In this episode, we dive into a topic that matters deeply to so many runners but doesn’t always get the spotlight it deserves — the Back of the Pack.We introduce and explore the BPI – the Back of the Pack Index, a framework designed to assess how welcoming, inclusive and supportive races really are for runners at every pace.Because let’s be honest — it’s easy to celebrate podiums. But what about the final finishers?🏃‍♀️ What We Cover in This Episode1️⃣ What makes a race truly Back-of-the-Pack friendly? We discuss the key ingredients that make slower runners feel seen, supported and celebrated — from cut-off times and course support to finish-line atmosphere and communication.2️⃣ If we were Race Organisers… what would we do differently? We step into the shoes of race directors and share practical, realistic ideas to make every runner feel important — especially those finishing towards the back.From:Medal ceremonies that don’t pack up earlyAid stations that stay fully stockedFinish lines that feel like a celebration, not a wind-downClear and compassionate cut-off messaging…to the small touches that make a massive emotional difference.3️⃣ Introducing the BPI (Back of the Pack Index)We explain the thinking behind the BPI and how it helps shine a light on inclusivity in race design.You can explore the full BPI here:👉 https://flyingrunr.com/bpi-back-of-the-pack-index/Why is it Important!The back of the pack isn’t the “least important” part of a race.It’s often:The most determinedThe most courageousThe most inspiringThese runners trained just as hard. They paid the same entry fee. They showed up.So the question becomes — does the race show up for them?Key TakeawayA truly great race isn’t defined by its elite field.It’s defined by how it treats its final finisher.If you’ve ever finished near the back…If you’ve ever worried about cut-offs…If you’ve ever felt like the event was winding down before you crossed the line…This episode is for you.Let us know your thoughts — and tell us which races get it right.Wherever you are, run your race at your pacehttps://my.linkpod.site/YourPaceandGlory ————————————————————————————-Read how CurraNz Blackcurrant extract improves performance. https://flyingrunr.com/2024/07/21/enhance-your-performance-with-curranz/ Special one-time code available to trial FLYINGRUN20Find all of our Links here - https://my.linkpod.site/flyingrunr Love our Music - Connect with Your Pace & Glory.

In this Out N Back episode of the Flying RuNR Podcast, we step away from splits and stats and dig into three core principles that shape not just better running — but a healthier relationship with the sport.This episode breaks down the inspiration behind three songs from The Diary of a Flying Runner:Listen to Your BodyEyes on the PrizeRespect the DistanceEach track reflects a lesson most runners only learn the hard way.🧠 Listen to Your BodyWe talk about the difference between discomfort and warning signs, why ignoring fatigue is often praised in running culture, and how learning to listen can actually extend your running life.This isn’t about being soft — it’s about being smart.🎯 Eyes on the PrizeWhat is the prize when you’re not chasing podiums?This segment explores redefining success, staying focused on personal goals, and resisting the pressure to run someone else’s race. For everyday runners, the prize is often consistency, confidence, and joy — not a time on the clock.🏃 Respect the DistanceEvery distance demands humility.From half marathons to the full 42.2km, we unpack why the distance always deserves preparation, patience, and respect — and what happens when ego tries to rush the process.📔 From Miles to MusicThese songs weren’t written in a studio — they were written in the miles between sessions, during setbacks, comebacks, and quiet wins. This episode connects the mindset behind the music to the lived experience of runners at every level.🎧 Featured AlbumThe Diary of a Flying Runner — by Your Pace & GloryA collection of songs for runners who value progress over perfection and pride over pressure.If this episode resonates, share it with a runner who needs to hear it.And if you’re running today — remember:Your pace.Your glory.https://my.linkpod.site/YourPaceandGlory ————————————————————————————-Read how CurraNz Blackcurrant extract improves performance. https://flyingrunr.com/2024/07/21/enhance-your-performance-with-curranz/ Special one-time code available to trial FLYINGRUN20Find all of our Links here - https://my.linkpod.site/flyingrunr Featured Running Clubs coming in 2026 - Find out how to feature your club. https://flyingrunr.com/featured-running-clubs-the-running-community/ Love our Music - Connect with Your Pace & Glory.
