S2 Eps 13 Young Hearts, Run Free - Debbie Martin-Consani Part Deux - 5 March 2021

1 hour 23 minutes

It's March, time for another treat, let's go Episode 13, Season 2!! And it's a huge huge welcome back to the pod to Debbie Martin-Consani.

Ultra runner Debbie first appeared on YHRF in Episode 4 of Season 2. She was busy prepping for The Spine Race (it got postponed) whilst juggling the social media rigours of the wonderful Marcothon.

We catch up with Debbie this time around about all the stuff we failed to cover last time round, and that's heaps! With her wealth of knowledge and experience in the world of running how could we resist from picking her brains once again?

We talk running tours of the Glasgow Mural Trail in the city she loves, joining Dan Lawson during his iconic LEJOG attempt, Team GB 24 Hour racing, her favourite races....ever, coping with 100 mile race curveballs, Anglo-Celtic Plate managerial duties, virtual racing (and rainbow buffs), competing in the gruelling Tour De Geants, Steven & Debbie find they share a trainer addiction and we even slip in an(other) blether about the Kinlochleven Chip Shop.

We find time to touch on a more serious topic too, that of female solo running and how Debbie feels about it along with some of her tactics to ensure she's keeps safe out on the streets, trails and hills.

Steven challenges Debbie to run to the moon, does she accept though?

Remember hang on until the end as we coax out Debbie's favourite local dialect word and assess if it's a worthy entry into the YHRF dialect dictionary!

It's another fun filled chat full of laughs & precious tips, hints and inspiration from a lady who leaves an indelible mark on everyone she meets with her enthuisiam and commitment to achieving great things.

You can catch up on our first part chat with Debbie on this link - Debbie Martin-Consani Part 1
