Wild Ginger Running with Claire Maxted - Season 7 Ep 7 - Young Hearts Run Free Podcast - 27 January 2023

When someone as awesome as Wild Ginger Running approaches you to have a wee chat on the pod you seize the moment with gusto. This week we’re awfully chuffed to welcome Claire Maxted to the Young Hearts Run Free podcast.

Writer. Author. Media entrepreneur. But most importantly, runner. Claire has spent a huge chunk of her life following her passion and in this week’s episode we get the lowdown.

Claire, co-founder, and former editor of Trail Running magazine, created Wild Ginger Running back in 2017 as a way for trail and ultra-runners to get tips, advice, and inspiration in a plain, jargon free and accessible way.

With gear reviews (and tests), training pointers and race inspiration sprinkled with the magical wild ginger running fairy dust her website and You Tube channel is a resource with something for all.

Claire is also a published author with her book, The Ultimate Trail Running Handbook (links below), offering pages upon pages of easy-to-read content covering all of the above and much much more. Trail Running Hacks? We all need as many of them in our lives as possible, right?

Even better than all of this though we get to hear about Claire’s own running history. We find out how she settled on finding her preferred race distance, how Bob Graham has played a big part in her running evolution and how the disappointment of her only DNF has simply fuelled her fire.

Our favourite kit segment is littered with Claire’s preferences, and John finds a kindred spirit in his quest to find other folk who love their big knacks.

With an immense 2023 in the pipeline, we are 100% (a hunner %) positive you’ll lap up this quality blether with the Wild Ginger Runner Claire Maxted.

So, grab your shwanks, get the headphones on and settle in for an hour and a bit of classic YHRF listening.
