Debbie chats with long term friend and Olympic silver medallist Robbie Renwick, who is taking on the Race Directors’ Dava Way 50k this November!

Okay, his Olympic medal might not be in running - but Robbie still shares plenty of golden nuggets that every runner can learn from.

We also hear from Hebridean David!

Enjoy the show! 🎙️

Tune in now 🎧

This week we discuss Kyle's DNF at the WHW race, the following week's Moray Way 100 miler, what Kyle's entered Debbie for next and details of the heartbreaking fires in the Cairngorms first hand. We also answer what the weirdest thing we've found on a run is, as well as the most random prize we've ever received is. It's a "salty" episode"!

This time we discuss another awesome Moray Way ultra race, argue whether the Enhanced Games are a good idea, and recap on Kyle's course record (yes, you read that right!) at the Kirkhill 8. We also go into detail about the most beautiful races we've done (as well as places we've trained) around the world!

In this unfiltered episode we do something different and bring the live race briefing into the podcast for the upcoming Moray Coastal Trail 50 that Kyle & Debbie Race Direct! And of course the usual banter and rants!

This week we discuss a kid-free date day with a parkrun thrown in, Kyle is buzzing he has now broken 16 minutes for 5k in 4 different decades, and we both discuss our best ever race result.

This week, Debbie and Kyle discuss their in-depth details of their first (and last?) pro Hyrox in Glasgow, and how training for it allowed Kyle to get “fast” again at forty. Kyle also becomes a “Devil” at Run Balmoral (clearly inspired by Debbie’s performance the previous year!), and they reflect on the weirdest races they’ve ever done.

Debbie and Kyle did a thing and decided to do a marathon for err banter (?!) Find out how they did amongst all the other things they have bene up to!

Debbie & Kyle round up their 2025 year, Kyle talks about life at 40 and we announce our TRS Runner Of The Year (ROTY)!
