In this episode we catch up with Michelle Melville aka Scot_Lassie_Runs. Michelle won our recent competition, in conjunction with Pyllon Ultra, for a place in the up n comin' Pyllon Exposure Race.

John & Steven also have a quick blether about their own current respective run loads as they ramp up their training ahead of an imminent (fingers and toes crossed) return to 'racing' before welcoming our prize winner.

On Saturday 24 April Michelle will join fellow competitors on the start line of the Pyllon Exposure Race. It'll be the biggest undertaking of her running journey to date.

The race-format is an unsual one, most races you'll know what to expect beforehand, not this one. Each hour starting at 8am you'll be informed what distance is to be covered in the next hour. Each hour is a new exposure, either 6, 12 or 24 of them. Comfort zone stretched yet?

We are so pleased to have had the chance to chat to Michelle about how she's feeling about the event, her strategies and mindset. It's also fabulous to hear how she's embraced the opportunity and although nervous about what lies ahead is prepping herself for the task in hand.

We'll be catching up with Michelle after the event too, to get the lowdown on how she got on. And how it feels to become an Ultra-Marathoner.

Please give Michelle a follow on her Instagram. Keep up with her quest and give her a word of encouragement https://www.instagram.com/scot_lassie_runs/
