Holly Wootten - Elite Trail Runner, from Helvellyn to 247 Rivington

This week, we’re joined by elite trail and ultra runner Holly Wootten — a powerhouse across the trails, fells, sky, and ultra distances. Fresh off her win at the Helvellyn Sky Ultra, Holly breaks down what it takes to race one of the UK’s most technical mountains and how those experiences have shaped her approach to competition.


She also shares her recent race experience at the 247 event at Rivington with Team Theta, the unique challenges of ultra racing, and why hill running can be a game-changer for performance — not just for mountain athletes, but for anyone looking to build strength, resilience, and speed.


Packed with practical advice, training insights, and mindset gems, Holly’s story is a reminder that every climb, every race, and every challenge teaches us something new.


Tune in for an inspiring conversation on backing yourself, learning from the hills, and finding joy in doing the thing that you love.
