A solo pod lovely people on all things around my second ultra marathon this year. 

My plan at the start of 2018 was to run x 2 ultra marathons, 1 very hilly race in the summer and 1 coastal flat race in the winter. 

I settled into the Cortina trail in June (listen back to previous episode.)

My final race of the year is in Suffolk on October the 20th.  

33.1 miles - the longest I will attempt to run so far. 

The race - Endurancelife Suffolk Ultra Marathon. 

Main Outcome - To finish the race and run as best as I can on the day. 

I had some decent feedback on my solo pod about the Cortina race so I cracked 20 minutes or so speaking about this race.

My Third And Longest Ultra Marathon So Far...

Blue Plate Planet is a community following the journey of a microbe enthusiast exploring the often surprising and unexpected ways that these tiny creatures impact our health and wellbeing.

 While still in its infancy, this is a fast-growing area of research. We are rapidly expanding our knowledge of how by choosing what you eat, you feed or starve certain microbes, and how these microbial communities in you can influence your nutrient absorption, immunity, unwanted weight gain, and even your mental state and anxiety.

By day Tatiana is an investment professional helping people fund their longer lifespans, and by "night" she is hoping to help raise awareness of this underrated organ (our gut microbiome) and to educate you to make choices that lead to a longer healthspan.

We dig into: 

Overview of microbes - what is the gut microbiome and why should we care about it.
