Last One Standing with Fiona Watt - Young Hearts Run Free - S6 Eps 6 - 12 August 2022

Clicking Click it’s Season 6 Episode 6.  And we’re going running up that hill this week in pursuit of yards, lot’s of yards as we welcome a familiar face to the show for a long overdue debut. Joining us to have a deep dive into her recent outing at The Highlander Last One Standing is Fiona Watt (aka Steven’s other half).  

With John asking the questions we get to know about Fiona the runner and Fiona the coach. A potted history of her running story takes us to a first ever marathon in Glasgow in the year 2000 as well as (frequent visits) to Newcastle for 13 Great North Runs.  

Before moving on to the main topic we also discover more about Five Star Run Club where Fiona is head coach and get an insight into how run coaching has helped both her athletes and herself.  
We spend the majority of the time though talking through Fiona’s recent experience in Blair Atholl where she took part in her first ever Last One Standing Backyard Ultra. An epic weekend in Highland Perthshire ensued and we get the full nitty gritty of her high’s and lows.   Her tactics, her fuelling strategies, frequent loo visits, failing head-torches and camaraderie with other runners. No stone is left unturned. How many yards did she complete? You’ll need to listen to that one out. Oh and fish suppers were involved…….  

We finish off by finding out about Fiona’s race director role at the Auchterarder Running Festival and the famous Chilli Trail Race. Links to both these events are noted below.  

Fiona offers 1-1 virtual run coaching as well as hosting 11 coached run sessions a week in Auchterarder. Again links below to all the info, message the page to contact Fiona.
