The Point 99 (Running) Podcast

S6 - E10: West Highland Wizardry (@100kg_to_100km) (66) - We have once again reached a season finale, albeit this one took a little longer than any other to reach. After 10 episodes and around 2 years of real time, season six is coming to a close. To see us out, we welcome one heck of a guest to the show, and one heck of a talented runner, and all-round amazing human being, perhaps going as far as to say that it is perhaps one of the best interviews of the season! We also fill some time with the final pre-recorded segment for the season, covering Zone 2 running, pairing perfectly with some of the conversation had with our guest. So please join us and enjoy the end of season six, at long last, as we move into a new era for the podcast and more great conversations ahead!

S6 - E8: I AM ULTRAMAN - UltraX Scotland 50km Race Review (64) - Fresh from taking on the Ultra X Scotland 50km, my first ever point-to-point ultra marathon and the one that officially earns me the title of ultra runner, I’m sitting down solo for an unscripted chat to unpack it all. The highs, the lows, the unexpected moments, and what the race was really like from start to finish. No filters, no script, just an honest reflection on the experience, the challenge, and everything that came with stepping up to 50km.

S5 - E6: The Running Fran is a Highland Ultra Fan ( @ therunningfran_ ) - In a change to the normal direction we head for our guests, being south, we’re staying firmly in the Highlands this week…which was the main reason we broke new ground for the show and committed to an in person interview, hitting up a local Starbucks and adding a bit of atmosphere to the background! Although it’s familiar territory for myself, this week's guest is someone I hadn’t had the pleasure of meeting in person, until now, and what a delight she was. Topic wise it was sadly a return to the dreaded ultra marathon distance but I didn’t mind hearing all about it, especially seeing the smile talking about it brought to this lovely ladies face. We talk about ultras, marathons and bringing the community together with a fabulous running group!!
