European 100k Record Holder Sarah Webster chats with the Young Hearts Run Free Podcast - Season 10 Eps 10

In this episode we catch up with Sarah Webster. We had the privilege of watching up close as Sarah set a New European 100k record of 7:03:48 at the Gathering of Awesomeness in March 2024.

This works out to an average pace of approx 6min 49 sec per mile, or 4 min 14 sec per km. The previous record of 7:04:03 was set by Florianne Hot in 2022.

Sarah has represented England and the GB team at championship events, and the Isle of Man in the Commonwealth games, we hear about how all of that has come together.

The Island Games...who knew? Sarah fills us in with what the Island Games are all about. A learning experience indeed.

We hear about how Sarah got back into running after a few years out after Uni and then having a baby, her intro back was running home from dropping her daughter off at school and then running back to pick to pick her up and look at what can happen!

Sarah is heavily involved in running activities in the Isle of Man, and we chat about the commitment of the athletes and coaches, parents, and guardians about attending events in the UK and what's involved with the logistics around this.

We hear about Sarah's training plan for 100k, and how she fits that in around a busy working life.

The training plan for the 100k is quite fascinating, there are loads of golden nuggets in there, get a notepad!

Of course we speak about nutrition, what does a European 100k Champion have for breakfast on the day of the event, people have to know!

In our intro we speak about what Steven and John are up to and launch our latest competition for 'prizes money can't buy!'
