What's it like to be an unsponsored, self-funded athlete breaking FKT's? (Jack Scott shares story)

Jack Scott recently broke Mike Hartley's 32 year old record on the 214 mile Southern Upland Way in South Scotland. He's a 26 year old unsponsored runner (er, not for too long me thinks!) who has also achieved FKTs (records) on the 188 mile Offa's Dyke Path and the 135 mile Glyndwr Way in Wales. Original YouTube broadcast https://youtu.be/JliOqsE-b28 In this live chat, Jack reveals what it takes to commit to such goals and be successful over such long distances as everything is self-organised and self-funded. And...what he aims to tackle next (some very exciting plans!). Follow Jack on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/trail.jack/ News story on Jack's Southern Upland Way FKT https://www.fionaoutdoors.co.uk/2020/11/runner-jack-scott-sets-new-southern-upland-way-record.html ---- Support me on Patreon for perks & prizes https://www.patreon.com/WildGingerRunning Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wildgingerrunning/  Get a Wild Ginger Running t-shirt or buff here https://wildgingerrunning.co.uk/shop/ Book a place on my beginner - intermediate trail running training camp here https://wildgingerrunning.co.uk/trainingcamp/ Run in the 100-mile UTMB course over 6-days from Chamonix with me here! https://www.tracks-and-trails.com/holidays/mont-blanc-ultra-trail-wild-ginger-running Hosted on Acast.
