Nikki Johnstone - The Return of Mr Race Day - Season 7 Eps 15 - Young Hearts Run Free Podcast - 24 March 2023
We love to welcome back former guests for a catch-up. The
last time we spoke to Nikki Johnstone was 2 years ago, you might remember him,
the quickest Elvis Pressley on the planet, ah ah ah.
So, jetting in from Germany, with a freshly baked new
Scottish 50k record under his belt and a refreshed lust for racing in tow it
was a joyous occasion for us to reconnect with Nikki in this week’s episode.
Of course, we start the show with our usual rip snorting intro
featuring a stacked agenda topped with a close inspection of the state of John’s
undercarriage obliterators! It’s the content ye all crave!
Nikki then joins the craic. It’s been far from plain sailing
the last couple of years, he admits to his running being a bit up and down.
Curtailed by injury and even a temporary loss of mojo (it happens to us all!).
But boy has he got his swagger back now topped off with a
landmark 50k time set over on the continent that took him by surprise as much
as anyone else. Nikki gives us a lap-by-lap account of his race day, that
lovable alternative mindset of his is apparent throughout.
With a 2023 planned around ‘New faces. New places. New races.’ We can’t wait to
see how far this lad can stretch his ability, we know our prediction.
It’s a brilliantly honest account as Nikki lets us know how he’s battled back
to the top of his game and rekindled his love for the sport, for life and for
racing. MR RACE DAY IS BACK!!
