Running the Length of Scotland with Gregor Yates - Season 15 Eps 14

Running the Length of Scotland with Gregor Yates - Season 15 Eps 14

What does it take to run the entire length of Scotland?

In this powerful episode of the Young Hearts Run FreePodcast, we sit down with Gregor Yates, who completed anextraordinary challenge: running roughly 415 miles from Kirk Yetholm to CapeWrath, covering a marathon a day for 17 consecutive days.

But this wasn’t just about endurance.

Gregor took on this journey in memory of his mum and toraise funds for Strathcarron Hospice, turning grief into purpose and miles into meaning.

🏃‍♂️ In this episode, we cover:

  • How Gregor went from 2:21 marathon runner to multi-day ultra challenge
  • Planning and navigating St Cuthberts Way, the Scottish National Trail, West Highland Way & Cape Wrath terrain
  • The physical toll: injury, fatigue, and running through pain
  • Fuel, kit, and what it’s like running with a pack for the first time
  • The emotional side of running in memory of a loved one
  • Finding joy beyond pace, numbers, and PBs

💬 A moment that says it all:

“If I could keep one running memory for the rest of my life, it would be this.”
