Epic Trails with Nic Dawson - Young Hearts Run Free Podcast - Season 9 Eps 3

We welcome Nic Dawson to the podcast this week, and we cover way more than we had originally planned!

From running up and down the sand dunes of Irvine (check em out if you've not heard of them before), to the giddy heights of representing GB at the European Duathlon Championships in Bilbao.

We chat with Nic about injuries (multiple) and the recovery journey involved to other sports, distances and disciplines.

Inspirational isn't a word close enough to describe how Nic has rediscovered and reinvented herself, in her own words...'Why Not'? Nic also finds time in her busy life to run Epic Trails, based in Milngavie (you just know what happens next right?)

From the Fling, to the WHW, to the Devil, oh that's the Triple Crown isn't it!

Then throw in the Celtman, swimming wi jellyfish...you starting to get the picture?

As you'd expect by now. we spend some time on the topic of scran, what works, what doesn't, this weeks wee food teaser...runny porridge!

Never one to stop developing and enhancing her skills, Nic is currently undertaking a qualification be a licenced running coach, so keep an eye out to get involved if you'd like to work with Nic and get an up close insight into some of the dedication, devotion and pursuit of joy that can be derived from fitness and from running.

Pre the chat with Nic we chew over a few things including 'supershoes', autumn marathon majors, the Jedburgh 3 Peaks competition, oh...and Race Or Not is back baby!
