S2 Eps 4 Young Hearts, Run Free - Debbie Martin-Consani 18 Dec 2020

Season 2 keeps rolling, the guests keep showing.

You're in for a festive treat as we welcome to the podcast ultra 'ultra marathon runner' Debbie Martin-Consani.

Now, we could've spoken to Debbie for hours on end, her passion, insight and humour for running seem absolutely boundless. So, instead of having an epic 5 hour long podcast we focussed on two things, the Montane Spine Race and Marcothon.

Two topics Debbie is more than qualified to chat about!! Debbie's only race of 2020, yes she raced in 2020, was the small matter of 268 miles long. The Montane Spine Race starts in Edale in Derbyshire and finishes in Kirk Yetholm in the bonnie Scottish Borders following the Penine Way National Trail. It's run in deepest darkest January, so daylight is at a premium and the 2020 edition had a guest appearance from Storm Brendan. Listen to the tale of Debbie's race, it's truly inspirational.

The second part of the show focuses on Marcothon!! The much-loved challenge of running either 3 miles or 25 minutes (whichever comes first) every day for the month of December. Debbie is the founder of this amazing movement. Hear from the source about how Marcothon came about, how it grew (and grew and grew) and how it pretty much fills a month of Debbie's time every year! Whilst simultaneously she trains for the Spine Race 2021, oh yes, Debbie is going back for more Spine tingling fun!!

Grab a brew, go for a run, head out for a walk, whatever way you listen enjoy!
