This week I catch up with Steven Watt, the Young Hearts Run Free podcast's cohost and all-around good guy.
Steven and his co-host John Cassidy have been in my lugs (ears for non-Scottish people) on most of my long runs and for almost the entire time I have been doing ultras so it is an honour to be able to catch up with them and to turn the mic round and hear their stories.
We talked about:
- The familiar story of football, injury - need to do something so running
- Go big or go home for his one-and-done marathon
- The slow burn that eventually saw the marathon majors getting ticked off
- Meeting 'that work guy' (John) who talks about this weird thing called an ultramarathon
- Mario Karting and the Tokyo Marathon for his sixth and final world marathon major
The Hot Takes:
- Find your why that is beyond chasing numbers
- Be open to finding and changing the tribe that you are part of and one that aligns with who you want to be
- The consistent theme of consistency is the key to any improvement
