The Billy McClean Episode

Another double accent whammy, this time with another of the world-famous Stewarton Ultrarunners (I know I know - I do get other folk on here).

Billy and I were catching up and it was so much fun that I almost forgot to press record but when we did we talked about the following:

• His journey from rugby and being 'fit for sport' to finding ultra
• Recovering from a motorbike accident and how he manages the injury
• The 'I met someone and they talked about ultras' hook into the sport
• The Scott Vs Billy rivalry - it doesn't take a lot to stir that one up
• What his 'go to' races are each year
• How you shouldn't copy Billy's advice on kit and in race nutrition (including his West Highland Way Race diet)
• Using normal routines to fit training in
• Using others to avoid boredom on the long runs (or listening to this podcast :))

If you want to see Billy taking on the West Highland Way Race you can see it here (with the aftermath from 11:45 - 12:15)
