Tartan Running Shorts

We have another great episode this week and Tommy and Kyle are joined by UK Athletics Chair and West Highland Way Race Director, Ian Beattie to talk all things WHW!

If Kyle wasn't already nervous and excited about running 96 miles on Saturday morning, he sure is now!

We also ramble about world records including a wee rant from Tommy and sum up Scottish performances at the World Trail and Mountain Champs!

Steven Beattie has an incredible story of being a former criminal in Glasgow and having many close encounters with death. But he ultimately transformed his life through the power of athletics & running.

To mark the start of National Running Week, Steven opens up on his former self constantly being sent to prison to becoming a national champion and now studying to become a doctor.

We hope this episode inspires you to donate to exactly what Athletics Trust Scotland intentionsb are with our #transforminglives project so we can change the lives of those, like Steven, through the power of athletics & running.
