  • The best running podcast out there

    I could listen to Kate all day. She is an incredibly talented commentator / sports journalist - she has endless knowledge about all of her interviewees and their sport and she strikes the perfect balance between offering her own experiences while maintaining focus on the athlete she’s interviewing.

    I would love to hear Brianna Scott be interviewed.... she's worked her way up from a recreational runner to a top middle distance runner in Canada!

Keep on Keeping on | Ultrarunner Ryan Keeping on his Iceland Ring Road World Record
Q: Did you have a strategy going into the record run? Did you have it mapped out how much you wanted to run every day, where you're going to stop for the night, or were you really taking it day by day or kilometer by kilometer?
Ryan explains that he originally aimed to run 110 kilometers a day, but after realizing that wouldn't be sustainable, he adjusted his strategy to run 90 kilometers a day over 16 hours, which allowed for rest and recovery while still aiming to break the record.
