Barkley Fall Classic with Ally McColl and Graham Connolly - Young Hearts Run Free Podcast - Season 9 Eps 4

We've mentioned Season 9 will be full of surprises, this week we even had a surprise ourselves!

After dissecting the weeks movers n shakers in our intro as well as the arrival of 'dart player style running nicknames' feature we move quickly onto our guests who were keen n eager to get their tongues wagging!

Making his YHRF debut we welcome Ally McColl he's joined by YHRF vet Mr Graham Connolly as we get down n dirty on all things Barkley Fall Classic!

Ally n Graham are fresh off the plane from Tennessee after making trip to the mecca that is Frozen Head State Park to partake the 2023 BFC. And they've come armoured with a tale or two on what was an unforgettable transatlantic sojourn.

So gather in round the campfire as we get the on the ground review of their experience in the Disneyland of ultra running. Roll up roll up there's Rat Jaw, Testicle Spectacle, Fire Tower and Meth Lab....all the fun of the fair. Ups n Downs aplenty.

After battering around the 50k (ish) BFC - known as the Barkley Marathon's 'Little Brother', our guests give a frank and honest account of what it's like to be on the ground at a Lazarus Lake event. From beer barn get togethers, missing luggage dramas, flying stinging venomous nature and the hotly anticipated jaggy nettle adventures! Nothing disappoints.

Ally takes the lead with Graham ably backing up. A warning, at times Graham was lost for words and inputting through the chat facility (yip we did say there was a surprise!).

A heady mix of travelogue, race report and observations on US culture this episode lives bang up to expectations. If running and living life to the max with your bestie's is your bag you're gonnae love this edition.

Titan up baby and enjoy the ride!
