We caught up with Kayleigh Webster for this weeks episode. A wearer of Buffs (in her own unique style), a champion of eating bananas, and a runner who dares to dream big. A quite brilliant chat, and one we are sure you will lap up (BYU pun intended)

"I plan to run across New Zealand as fast as I can."
Paul's 2021 End-to-End trail, which took him the length of the UK has inspired him to take on a new country.

"The trick is to really give a shit & not give a shit at the same time"
This is a quote from Pyllon coach, Grant MacDonald talking about racing strategy on the Young Hearts Young Free podcast.

Do you have this mindset?
