Kayleigh Webster is back on the podcast for her third appearance — this time diving into what Backyard Ultras reveal about people, why Beecraigs has become such a special community event, and how injury has reshaped her approach to running and race directing.

We get into:

• Why Backyards feel more communal than competitive

• The atmosphere at Beecraigs and the role of spectators

• Family influence, Barkley dreams, and “unreasonable” goals

• Watching runners change hour by hour

• How a busy race calendar can strengthen the running ecosystem

• Injury, identity, and learning to train differently

• Zwift, patience, and redefining what it means to be a runner

• Leadership, judgement, and caring for athletes

• What’s next for Beecraigs — and for Kayleigh

Quick training update from me: the Achilles is settling, mileage is building again, and I’m finally stringing together some consistent weeks.

A brilliant conversation with someone who’s shaping the Scottish ultra scene in a really thoughtful way.
