Lucy Colquhoun speaks to the Young Hearts Run Free Podcast - Season 8 Eps 4

What does it take to hold the West Highland Way Race course record? In this week’s episode we’re joined by ultra-running royalty and current female WHW record holder Lucy Colquhoun to find out.
It’s fair to say that Lucy considers her racing days well behind her and joins us in reflective mood. Her spirit and passion though are evident throughout our chat.
Lucy confesses to falling out of love with running and ultra-running. A normal episode this is most definitely not. There’s a lack of rah rah motivational and inspirational moments, it’s a candid eye raising honest assessment of how Lucy’s mindset has been flipped on its head.
It’s a deeply authentic chat with Lucy who now doesn’t train with any structure and finds enjoyment in just moving, often with company, likely with her dogs.
Of course, that doesn’t hold us back getting to the nitty gritty of Lucy’s running story and career highlights. By the time she discovered ultra-marathon she was already a very accomplished road runner and owner of an impressive marathon time.
We spend most time fondly recalling Lucy’s epic day out in 2007 on the world-famous West Highland Way trail when she wrestled the course record from its previous holder. It was her one and only appearance in the race and one she made the very most of.
It’s not doom and gloom by a far stretch, most of it is fantastically relatable and the marmite nature of the sport is discussed with a lorra laughs along the way.
‘It's YHRF, Jim, but not as we know it’. Enjoy gettin’ yir lugs roond this!!
