Vol State x Barkley x Badwater with Kaz Williams - Young Hearts Run Free Podcast - Season 10 Eps 12

Young Hearts Run Free Podcast

Blow the conch baby and rock on into another belter of an episode! This week our guest is Chamonix based runner & coach Kaz Williams.

Living on the doorstep of the UTMB route it's no surprise we start in the Alps finding out why she's also known as 'Mountain Kaz' along the way.

Kaz then treats us to a world tour of her running adventures, peppered with golden nuggets a plenty.

We find out all about Mettle Running, Kaz's coaching platform is so much more than just plain old run coaching!

Having had the pleasure(?) of taking part in the Barkley Marathons it would be remiss of us not to spend some time on that. We also take the oppo to get tore into Kaz's experience at the lesser known but equally as sadistic Vol State 500k Road Race, another from the mind of Lazarus Lake.

With another huge race and endeavour coming into sharp focus for Kaz she leads us through her prep, it's a tricky one when you call home the mountains!

You'll love this one, you might even need a few listens!

We take the oppo in the intro to preview Steven's London Marathon trip, look back at Manchester and Boston Marathon's and there's even been bonus content published for your listening pleasure!!
