Manage episode 406614236 series 2831241
Unpredictable? Well this week Steven bails after the intro leaving John to fly solo!! The cheek!
In this episode we welcome to the podcast Sarah Perry. Fresh off setting a new Backyard Ultra British female record of 41 laps/yards at the Rasselbock Backyard Ultra. Sarah snatched the record from oor pal and inspiration UltraKazy aka Karen Nicol.
For those not aware backyard ultras (BYU) involve completing laps (known as yards) of 4.167 miles on the hour, every hour. Runners drop out if they don’t complete a lap within the allotted hour, or fail to make the start line for the next lap. The last runner standing is the winner. Previous guest Mike Raffan took the overall win at Rasselbock.
We get the lowdown on how Sarah prepares for Backyard events, hear about her running background, and tap into the mental side of her game
Sarah lets us know who inspires her, what running means/brings to her, and we get a wee appearance from Murphy (Sarah's dog) as a wee bonus.
Sarah ran the Rasselbock Backyard Ultra completely unsupported, we find out how that came about to be also how she approaches each lap/yard, strategies are very unique to the individual and we find her take very fascinating.
No stranger to the BYU scene, Sarah informs us of her previous experiences, and how they helped shape her imperious performance at Rasselbock.
And you know what, there's more...much more to come for Sarah Perry, you'll love this, go get tore in!
