About this listen

In this episode, I spoke to Kyle Matthews, also known as 'The Milky Runner', who is running the entire perimeter of the UK. At time of publishing, Kyle has run 3800km with a backpack and tent, from September through to December, at just 19-years-old.

We talked about why he is doing this, what it was like at the beginning, planning (or not) his days, running 50-60km per day, what he eats, and the effect it's had on him as a person.

Kyle finishes his race between Christmas and New Year 2025, and is raising money for Family First, a charity which supports parents and carers in Ipswich. You can find his fundraiser here.

Thanks for listening.
