Nikki Gibson wasn't an ultra-runner at the start of August 2021, that had all changed in spectacular fashion by Sunday the 22nd. We welcome Nikki to a Young Hearts Run Free episode with a twist!! We handed over the hosting reigns to someone quite qualified to pick them up!! We start with a wee bit chit chat from your usual hosts covering the last weeks 'news', who got into the Lakeland 50? Who smashed it at Glenmore? Auchterarder Running Festival news and the weekly feature......what has the shwanker been buying?? Then we're onto this week’s headline act, Nikki starred for Scotland at the Anglo Celtic Plate 100km in Dublin last month. Our guest host grills Nikki on not only that amazing experience but loads more too. We find out a little about why Nikki runs, her new found love of nut butter and that tipping point of ultra-running, paracetamol treats at 50k's in. Seriously though, it's a brilliant interview with a tremendously hard-working and talented emerging ultra-runner. It reminded us of many of the reasons we run, a recurring theme of appreciating the community and making lifelong chums. So get out there, be inspired, and remember........be less of a pussy from the beginning. Enjoy our YHRF takeover!! EPISODE LINKS Enter the Auchterarder Running Festival HERE
