Centurion Grand Slam of 50s with Helen Wyatt - Young Hearts Run Free - S6 Eps 18 - 18 November 2022

We like to throw our net far and wide in our search for inspiring guests, this week that net came up trumps yet again!

Helen Wyatt joins us to take us (and you!) on a VIP tour of her own running journey all the way from starting out back in 2010 right up to the present day. That present day being the finish line of the Centurion Running Wendover Woods 50 miler just last weekend.

In fact it turns out Helen has had quite the year of 50 milers with her Wendover Woods outing being the culmination of her Centurion Grand Slam of 50s. What does that consist of? Listen in to find out all the details as Helen recounts her race experiences and lifts the lid on her training and motivation.

We find out just why Helen runs, it started out as a way of making new friends but has grown to be such a part of her DNA. It becomes pretty obvious from early on that there aint much else Helen would rather be doing than running. But that doesn’t always come easily to a busy mum working full-time, right?

It's a great account of an exceptional 2022 and so much more. Helen also lets us know about all her favourite things. What’s in her drop bags? What’s her fav bit of running kit? What’s on her feet? All your fav YHRF topics are covered in this over-flowing episode.

If you too fancy the holy trinity of Soreen Loaf, Babybel Cheese and Tunnocks Caramel logs to fuel your running dreams then you’ll adore our fab catch up with Helen.
