Elsey Davis Conquers the Fling - Young Hearts Run Free Podcast - Season 10 Eps 18

Magical things happen on the West Highland Way. We know that. This week's guest Elsey Davis does too. Hot off a phenomenal performance at the 2024 Highland Fling where she took the win and set a new course record Elsey joins us to chat about her career. From an iffy first marathon wearing her Dad's ill-fitting socks to chipping her marathon time down to elite standard her running has been on upward trajectory from the off. We hear how injury, and a global pandemic opened the door for Elsey to find a voracious appetite for trail running. And so that upward trajectory ski rocketed. The North Face athlete talks us through her triumph at The Fling. How much did she enjoy that world-famous red-carpet experience? With a treasured golden ticket for the iconic Western States 100 earned we get a glimpse of how Elsey's build up is going ahead of flying out to the States for the race of her life. We've offered tae carry her bags of course! Elsey was an absolute star to catch up with, she's packed heaps in already to her relatively short time on the trails. But we can't wait to see where the future takes her. Before Elsey arrives to brighten our week we have a fair old discussion on the clusterf*ck that was the Edinburgh Marathon Festival. Emotions were stirred! Give Elsey a follow on her braw Insta account here https://www.instagram.com/elseydavis/?hl=en
