Episode 552 - 2026 Delirious Series - Kylie Bell’s Wild Gravel Marathon, Pneumonia Curveball & Big Kosci Dreams
In this first Delirious W.E.S.T. 2026 check-in, I catch up with the always-positive Kylie Bell — and wow, she’s had a month! From tackling a tough gravel marathon in the Stirling Ranges (complete with nearly 900m of vert and a sneaky brush with dehydration) to bouncing back from pneumonia, Kylie has had her share of plot twists.
We chat about the mental side of training when things don’t go to plan, her stair-repeat session at Shazza’s (462 steps… she’s counted!), why time-on-feet matters more than chasing monster weekly kilometres, and the pure grit that keeps ultrarunners showing up even when life throws a spanner in the works. Kylie also shares her simple approach to strength training, her plan heading into Ultra Trail Kosciuszko, and her hilarious “beer credits” system for post-race holidays.
She might feel underdone, but honestly? She’s tougher than she gives herself credit for — and we’ll all be cheering her on.
