S3 Eps 8 Young Hearts, Run Free x Tartan Running Shorts Kyle Greig - 2 July 2021

Some of you, like us, might listen to some other podcasts. You listen to some for a few episodes then drift away, others become mainstays in your favourites. One of John and Steven's favourites is the well established Tartan Running Shorts. This weeks guest is co-host of the TRS podcast Kyle Greig. We've been chasing Kyle for a while now so are super chuffed at being able to welcome him along for a chat on Young Hearts, Run Free. Kyle certainly is a busy lad as you'll find out! An uber accomplished runner with some eye wateringly good PB's Kyle progressed through the distances and is now amongst the cream of the crop of Scottish Ultra runners. He's represented GB and has proudly represented Scotland too. An elite, some might say, but Kyle remains firmly grounded and passes an hour or so entertaining us with tales of his running story, his proudest moments, juggling a hectic workload and how he's recently become both a proud Dad (again) and a proud Race Director. We chat podcasting and how it's allowed us to connect with a whole new network of folk who inspire and motivate us to get the most we can out of running. We talk about the Moray Way Ultras series Kyle is Race Director of and how the pandemic has impacted on his debut races. And of course we find out about what Kyle is up to now, including how his training is ahead of his next Scotland vest at the Anglo Celtic Plate 100k in August. In fact we cover a veritable sh*tload of stuff and have the usual laughs along the way, anyone for a TRS x YHRF Beer Mile Collab??!! Tune in, zone out and listen to us chew the fat with the fella who is 16th on the UK all-time list for the 100k. The same guy who was bold enough to try to run his way into the world records with a 24hr treadmill attempt! A few links we mentioned: Kyle offers run coaching through TRS Training Kyle is fundraising manager at the newly formed charity at Athletics Trust Scotland And once again get your ass along to one of the brilliant ultras that from part of the Moray Way Ultra Series. They are sure to become an absolute fixture in the Scottish Ultra calendar. PIC: Kyle reps GB at the 102km Tarawera Ultra Marathion in New Zealand in 2018
