S3 Eps 16 Young Hearts, Run Free - And it's gotten a bit out of hand with Jason Kelly - 3 Sep 2021

Aaaaand we're back and so are the guests. This weeks episode is an epic!!

Our main event is welcoming guest Jason Kelly to the podcast, the north-east Scotland based ultra runner has had a monumental 18 months since taking the victory at the 2020 D33 Ultra Marathon.  The 18 months were crowned with a recent debut for Scotland at the 100k Anglo Celtic Plate!

Before chatting to Jason, John & Steven spend a good skelp of time chatting about some happenings in the last week.  Covering some heroic performances across the globe as well as reviewing Steven's surprise appearance on the start line at the Speyside Way Ultra Marathon.  Did Steven manage to expel some of his Lakeland 50 demons? Listen in to find out.......

Jason though is the headline act. We get to know what got him into running and how he's got bitten by the bug. From learning his craft, to being inspired by his folks and then realising some of his dreams in ultra running.

Jason competes for that hotbed of ultra running Aberdeen Metro Running Club and regales just how much joining a running club meant to his own running evolution. We make no excuse for focussing on Jason's recent appearance for Scotland at the Anglo Celtic Plate, a race that saw him reach extraordinary levels. His finish line screams were visual proof that nothing was left out there!!

Come find out just why Jason has become intoxicated with running, it's already quite the story and we reckon it's only just really beginning.
