What does it take to run the length of an entire archipelago, facing down the wild Atlantic winds with every step? Wildheart and endurance athlete Muriel Dempsie joins us to recount her monumental run along the Hebridean Way in June 2025.

While many choose to cycle this iconic route, Muriel took onthe ultimate challenge: traversing all 185 miles (297 km) across 10 islands on foot. This is a story of pure grit, meticulous planning, and the kind of profound connection to the landscape that only comes from experiencing it at arunner's pace.

In this gripping episode, listen as Muriel shares:

  • The Motivation: What drove her to attempt such a physically and mentally demanding feat.
  • The Grind: The realities of a multi-day ultramarathon—managing nutrition, navigating challenging terrain, and finding the mental fortitude to push through the toughest miles.
  • The Magic: Unforgettable moments of raw beauty, from running alongside deserted white-sand beaches at dawn to the unparalleled warmth and kindness of the Hebridean communities.
  • Lessons from the Edge: Her key takeaways on gear, resilience, and what she learned about herself out on the wild edge of Scotland.

This is a must-listen for any runner, adventurer, or anyonewho has ever felt the call of Scotland's wild isles. Muriel's incredible story will inspire you to find your own limits and push right past them.
