  • What happened to me on the Ultra Scotland 100
    Jun 20 2025

    Mixing things up a bit this week where we have previous guest and friend of the show Kayleigh interview me about my time on the Southern Upland Way completing GB Ultras Ultra Scotland 100 Race.

    We talk about:

    • Some of my background in running and what led me here
    • Preparations for the race and what specific training I did to get myself ready
    • How the race panned out (TL;DR went well, then didn't)
    • What's up next?
