The Journey to Running 100 Miles & How It Changed Me Along the Way | Yalla Habibi Podcast

Today we celebrate the biggest achievement of Scott’s life: running 100 miles non-stop, one of the toughest physical and mental challenges a person can take on. Although the race began at Edinburgh Castle, the real story started 11 years earlier with a dream that at times felt impossible. Shelby sits down with Scott to unpack the journey from his first steps as a runner to the setbacks, self-doubt, and defining moments that led him to the finish line. We relive the highest highs, the darkest moments of race day, what crossing that finish line really felt like, and the lesson that changed the way Scott thinks about limits forever.

That is starting and stopping once he reaches 100, which is insanity." "I got really excited by the number 100. There was just something about when I looked at the number 100, it just felt big. It felt unachievable.""There was one particular moment where... I saw myself drop to the floor on my knees crying... and then I just somehow caught it and just went, 'No. No. No, not today.'""When you feel as if you are coming down... you have to change something. You can't just run in that.""It always felt impossible... until it wasn't really.""I've learned there's three people on this journey. There's the people that will never achieve their limits, there's the people that will achieve their limits, and there's the people that will redefine their limits year on year."
