Mastering Intensive Care: Mastering Intensive Challenges - Run Larapinta

Jul 28, 2023

To help Ed Litton and I get really prepared for the Run
Larapinta stage race we are only a few weeks away from competing
in, today we bring a seasoned ultra trail running doctor on to the
podcast to share her advice.

In this sixth episode of the Mastering Intensive Challenges
series, we welcome Dr Cheryl Martin, who is an Emergency Medicine
specialist, a podcaster and has huge experience in trail running,
including ultra marathons.

Cheryl’s podcast, the Mind Full Medic podcast, explores health,
wellbeing, optimal performance and professional fulfilment, with a
focus on doctors and healthcare. I love listening to it, and the
best bit for me is that Cheryl has interviewed a bunch of endurance
athletes including several high performing ultra runners.

Today we thought we’d ask Cheryl lots of questions about our
training and our preparations including heat adaptation, nutrition,
footwear and other aspects that will hopefully help us to complete
this event successfully.

We hope you’ll enjoy listening to the conversation, especially
if you are a trail runner yourself. If not, hopefully it might
inspire you to get out for a run or for any type of exercise that
suits you.

Thanks for listening.

Andrew Davies
