I’ve been mildly obsessed with Iron Age hillforts ever since I first walked the Ridgeway National Trail back in 2016. My obsession only deepened when I walked the trail a second time in 2020, and I was inspired to visit all the hillforts near the Ridgeway. I feel such an indescribable connection to hillforts.

This week, I'm talking about what to do when your perception of yourself doesn't match your current reality, and how that can affect your adventures and your life. Sometimes, we grow and evolve, yet we remain stuck in our old identity—we still see ourselves as we were years ago.

Back when I was researching my book on the Wey-South Path, I bought one of his films on the Hardham canal tunnel, and I found it really fascinating.

November 15, 2021 08:00 - 55 minutes - 51.6 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Walker Brandt. We had a fantastic conversation about nature, outdoor adventures, and healing from trauma.

Ben is an excellent guest with loads of great stories, and I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. Movement is a big part of my life, but I'm not sure if I ever really thought about it until I had this conversation with Ben. Movement (whether it's walking, running, or kickboxing) is a huge pa...

428 Holly Worton ~ Moving Your Adventures Into the Slower Months of the Year
October 04, 2021 08:00 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! It's been several weeks since I did a solo episode, and it's been great to have so many fantastic guests on the show. In fact, I just lined up another five guests for the coming weeks. But for now, let's talk about slowing down. We're moving into the darker, colder months of the year, and it's natural to adjust our adventures to match. I've really felt a shift in my energy this week, ever since I woke up on Monday and it really felt like autumn. ...

September 27, 2021 08:00 - 46 minutes - 42.9 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Isabel Firecracker. Back in 2019, I was a guest on her podcast, The Honest Uproar. I really enjoyed our conversation, and I've been wanting to get her on my show for a while. I'm very much aware that I wouldn't have the time to do all the things I've been doing (like training for ultras) if I had children.

420 Holly Worton ~ Use Your Intuition to Find Your Next Adventures
August 09, 2021 08:00 - 37 minutes - 36 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! This week, I'm talking about something that's been on my mind for a while. I usually do a bit of research to see what other people have said about the topic I want to cover, but I could only find one blog post about intuition and adventure, and it wasn't that great. So I'm turning to my book Business Intuition, and applying some of the concepts there to the field of adventure. Listen To This Episode What You'll Learn What is in...
419 Holly Worton ~ Getting Through the Post-Adventure Blues
August 02, 2021 08:00 - 23 minutes - 23.8 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! As you may know, I've been really interested in talking more about mental health and outdoor adventures this year. A lot of us have had a rough time with the various lockdowns and restrictions around the world. Sometimes we talk about post-trail depression, but we don't often talk about the blues that can come after an event or adventure. In this episode, I reflect on post-adventure blues, and how we can get through them and move on. Listen ...
418 Holly Worton ~ Adventures in Rest
July 26, 2021 08:00 - 30 minutes - 29.8 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! This week, I'm talking about the importance of rest. As you might imagine, it's inspired by the last two weeks, in which I've been recovering from my 100 km ultramarathon. Most coaches recommend active recovery, and I'm certainly not going to talk you out of the value of that, but I just haven't been up to it—so I've been taking a break from running. My muscles felt great just a couple of days after the race, and so I went on a run a few days afte...

July 19, 2021 08:00 - 46 minutes - 44.4 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Lesley Waldron. She's an expert in perimenopause and staying active during these years of change. Sadly, I don't think there's enough awareness about perimenopause (I hadn't heard of it until I was already going through it), so I wanted to have this very important conversation on the show. This is a great episode to listen to whether you're in the middle of perimenopause or not quite there yet. It starts earlier than you may think, and it's impor...
416 Holly Worton ~ Lessons Learned From My First Ultra
July 12, 2021 08:00 - 37 minutes - 36.5 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! Last weekend, I ran my very first ultramarathon: the Serpent Trail 100 km race. It was a fantastic event, and it was a truly joyful day: a great stretch outside of my comfort zone. Whether or not you're a runner, you'll find this episode to be useful: it will give you an idea of how to plan a much bigger adventure, in terms of both physical and mental preparation. There are lots of little details in the planning, and I got most of them right. I ...

July 05, 2021 08:00 - 46 minutes - 44.8 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Anna Wood. Like many of my guests, I first discovered her on Instagram. I've been super inspired by her practice of mindful sea swimming. Years ago, when I lived in Mexico, I was a big sea swimmer. Since I moved to England, that never occurred to me—yet I have a few friends who are avid sea swimmers. Because most of my adventures take place on land, I've been increasingly interested in exploring water adventures, like sea swimming. In t...

This episode isn’t just for women, and it’s not just for hikers—it’s for everyone who may have fea...

412 Mark Struczewski ~ Productivity Gives You the Freedom to Have More Adventures
June 14, 2021 08:00 - 1 hour - 60.3 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Mark Struczewski. I was a guest on his podcast a couple of years ago, and I’ve been following him online ever since. I’ve been particularly fascinated by his running streak: Mark has been running every single day for 1,382 days. Read that again. That’s almost four years of consistent running. Now, whether or not you’re a runner, there’s probably some hobby or activity that you’d like to do more of. In this episode, we talk about daily running, ha...
411 Holly Worton ~ Who Do You Need to Be for The Adventures You Want to Have?
June 07, 2021 08:00 - 26 minutes - 26.3 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! This is a topic I've kind of touched on in a couple of other episodes, but I wanted to delve a bit deeper, and ask the question: Who do you need to be for the adventures you want to have? The way I see it, this is not just about gaining practical knowledge, but also acquiring the adventure mindset that you need. This is more than sports mindset, it's about overcoming the fears, blocks, and limiting beliefs to stretch out of your comfort zone and e...
410 Holly Worton ~ Adding a New Layer to Your Outdoor Adventures
May 31, 2021 08:00 - 23 minutes - 23.2 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! As I record this, I just got back from a three-day longbow-making workshop, followed by a two-day birdsong course. And I'm about to go back into the woods for the second weekend of my ethnobotany course. I've been reflecting on all the courses I've taken at Woodcraft School and elsewhere, and how they've added an important layer of knowledge to my outdoor adventures. In this episode, I hope to encourage you to get outdoors and learn something new!...
409 Holly Worton ~ What Does Adventure Mean to You?
May 24, 2021 08:00 - 30 minutes - 30.2 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! I've been reflecting lately on what adventure means to me, and why it's such an important part of my life. I think that my own personal definition of adventure is probably a bit wider than most people's, so I wanted to invite you to reconsider what adventure means to you. Hopefully this will help you to find new and exciting adventures to have! Now that things are opening up around the world, it's time to start planning our next adventures. And ev...
408 Holly Worton ~ Start Where You Are
May 17, 2021 08:00 - 22 minutes - 22.6 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! I was out on a run the other day and this phrase popped into my head: “start from where you are.” I actually paused my run and sent myself a note with these words. When I got home and googled it, I found out that this is a quote by Arthur Ashe: “Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can.” This is exactly the concept I had in mind when the phrase popped into my head. So here's an episode on the topic! In sports and outdoor adventures,...

May 10, 2021 08:00 - 51 minutes - 49.3 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Keith Foskett, also known as Fozzie (that's his trail name). I've read two and a half of his hiking books (I'm in the middle of one right now), and they were one of the things that helped me to get through this last lockdown—it was like having an armchair adventure. If you've ever wondered about hiking the Camino de Santiago, the Pacific Crest Trail, the Appalachian Trail, or the Continental Divide Trail, this episode is for you. We talk about th...
