Our Yorkshire Correspondent Mel Sykes - An Update - Young Hearts Run Free Podcast - Season 10 Eps 5

It was last summer we last caught up with our Yorkshire correspondent Mel Sykes. Since then, much has happened, this week Mel gives us a huge update.

After successful outings last year, Ultra Trail Snowdonia, Summer Spine Challenger and Lakeland 50 amongst them, Mel has been hampered.

After suffering from blurry vision and some balance issues Mel was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation. The result? Brain surgery, a scar that tells the tale and a temporary pause on her upward trajectory in the world of ultra running.

We find out how Mel noticed the symptoms, how her major operation went and, of course, get all the updates on her road to recovery as she looks to make up for lost time.

Mel, in typical positive mood, also tells us all about her gig volunteering at this year's Spine Race, an event she was due to compete in. Is she in for the Winter Spine 2025 though?

A run through her plans for the rest of 2024 reveals she's cracking on with her recovery and we even let you all know about our own planned race meet up in September.

Oh, and we've a bumper intro for you too as John and Stevie Boy take the oppo to get caught up on all their chat, a race or not segment thrown into the equation too. Spoiling you we are!

We love our catch up's with Mel, we are sure you will too.
