Young Hearts Run Free Podcast Montane Winter Spine Race 2026 - Season 15 Eps 1
🎙️ SEASON 15 KICKS-OFF🏴⚽️
The wait is over, the squad is named, and we are officially kicking off Season 15! You know us for the tarmac and the trails, but this season, we’re bringing a different kind of energy to the podcast.
🏆 The Season Theme: The Summer of ‘26
With Scotland heading to their first World Cup since 1998, we are leaning into our obsession with the beautiful game. This season is a tribute to Football, Fans, and Finish Lines. Expect plenty of tactical nods, "injury time" drama, and World Cup fever—even if our feet are still firmly in our trainers.
🏔️ The Opening Match: Britain’s Most Brutal
To start the season, we’re going 268 miles deep into the Winter Spine Race on the Pennine Way. It’s the "Champions League" of endurance, and we’ve got two absolute star players in the booth: Llinos Proctor and Ross Beveridge.
In the Season Premiere:
The Warm-up: How to train for 268 miles of ice and grit.
The Match Report: Full-blown hallucinations, star-filled skies, and the emotional "final whistle" at Kirk Yetholm.
The "Twelth Man": A celebration of ordinary people doing the extraordinary.
The Winter Spine - It’s not just a race; it’s a 268-mile cup final where the terrain and the weather present the toughest of opponents.
