Kayleigh Webster is another legend who made it to the snowy edition of the Wildheart Runners birthday bash. What a story she has to tell, including her first ultramarathon win in the Back Yard Ultra format.

What we talked about:

• Lockdown running and Couch to 5K
• Learning lessons on the way to going long
• The impact of moving to a plant-based and alcohol-free lifestyle and how 'The Happy Diet' was born
• Working up through the distances, finding backyard ultras and other challenges
• Coaching and finding her own way
• Her next big challenge

Key Takeaways:

• Be bold in what you challenge yourself with and tell others about - then do the work to make it happen
• Think about what you are eating and drinking - is it working for you? Good time of year to check
• Coaching has its place, but then again so does going it alone if you listen to what your body (and mind) tells you.
