Welcome back to Season 16, Episode 5 of the Young Hearts Run Free podcast!

​Just the two of us behind the mics this week as we sit down for a full debrief of our latest racing exploits at the 10th Anniversary of the Dunoon Ultra Marathon. A return to the ultra scene for Steven and John conjuring up another race in a magnificent 2026 for himself!

With the battle lines temporarily cleared, we dig into the highs, the lows, the recovery process, and go through a who's who of friends of the show we bumped into over an epic weekend.

We also take a look ahead at what’s filling up the calendar. ​We chat through race directing duties for the upcoming Auchterarder Running Festival (ARF), balancing peak training with the return of football season(!), and race plans on the horizon—including the Newton Road Runners 10K.

​Grab a brew, kick your feet up, and join us for an hour and a bit of proper running chat.
