There is some background noise to this episode, it's real authentic and quite magnificent. The North Inch in Perth was the setting for our meet-up and chat for over an hour about everything really, all of the lessons learned and preparation for this years West Highland Way Race. We speak a wee bit about Als experiences representing Scotland at three Anglo Celtic Plate events, and what these experiences have brought to Als running toolbox. We often use the term 'golden nuggets' here at YHRF, and Al delivers those nuggets big time in this episode. Mindset features a lot in the chat, and how we can pick up 'one little thing' from a variety of sources, and all of these 'one little things' can turn into an unstoppable force. How many of us actually listen to our body? You might listen a wee bit more after this episode. Did we mention the power of smiling? We're sure there's loads more to come from Al, but for now, let's embrace the opportunity to listen in to what Al put in place to travel on foot from Milngavie to Fort William, and how it feels to be the winner of the West Highland Way Race 2023 Some reading resources Al mentions in this episode: Training Essentials for Ultrarunning by Jason Koop Rebound by Cindy Kuzma and Carrie Jackson Cheadle

Pyllon Ultra Podcast. An Endeavour 192 Special   BONUS EPISODE.   PYLLON ENDEAVOUR 192 - THE WHY Ultra running has enriched our lives in so many ways and we hoped that more people might get involved in the sport or at least better understand our purpose. In the following years, Endeavour continued, with our boldest event being our Scottish National Trail FKT - with the team running continuously across the country for 5 days, in winter. We tackled some of Scotland's toughest terrain, and even now, still feel the fear of running in some of those areas! The hardship was worthwhile. We connected with the whole ultra community in Scotland and beyond, and had many conversations about mental health - conversations that would never have happened. Since our first Endeavour we also raised over £35,000 for SAMH. This November, Pyllon Endeavour will return! And we are going back to where it all started. The West Highland Way. We'll run from Milngavie, to Fort William and back home again - some 192 miles. This is your chance to hear about the project and why we're so passionate about it. If you want to support us, please: FOLLOW: We will have live GPS trackers when we start and it will be with us throughout the challenge. You will also be able to follow our live updates on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook on the @PyllonUltra and @Pyllon accounts. Please follow for updates. SUPPORT: It's a challenging event to organise and support - so we'd really welcome any support out on the course during the event. Please get in touch if there's any way you can help! Contact us SHARE: We are trying to reach as many people as possible, and we'd love to get #PyllonEndeavour trending, so please help us out by sharing, retweeting, following and commenting! DONATE: We are raising funds for the British Heart Foundation (BHF) for the vital research they do into heart and circulatory diseases. The BHF are working towards preventing these conditions from developing and helping those with existing conditions to have better, longer lives. We all know someone who's life has been cut short - and the important role exercise plays in health and longevity. If you can spare any money please show your support by making a donation. MOVE: Exercise has so many positive effects and if more of us had the time, support and encouragement to make it an essential part of everyday life, we'd live happier and healthier lives. We hope that our own endurance efforts will encourage other people to get outside and walk / run more.   You can connect with the Pyllon Ultra team on twitter and instagram @pyllonultra or check out the website at www.pyllonultra.com  Paul is on Twitter and instagram @Pyllon

I love adventures as you might have guessed from the name of this podcast so try to seek them out whenever I can. I have travelled to many different countries and experienced lots of things but one of my most enjoyable adventures happened right here in Scotland when I walked the West Highland Way. In this episode I'd like to tell you about this famous walk. The West Highland Way is a very famous long distance walking trail that starts near my city, Glasgow. This walking trail goes all the way from the lowlands to the West Highland town of Fort William. It is 96 miles (154km) long and takes around a week or so to walk although some people actually run it in around 35 hours! Every year around 40,000 walkers of all ages, come from far and wide to complete the walk, many people love it so much they do it several times during their lifetime and this year the walk is proudly celebrating its 40th anniversary. The walk starts in the small town of Milngavie and the first section is relatively flat, taking you past small villages and rather conveniently, close to the Glengoyne whisky distillery where you can enjoy a dram of whisky and a tour of production! By day 2 you are in Loch Lomond national park, and the first hill climb, Conic hill provides breathtaking views. The walk continues along the banks of the loch, that's our Scottish word for lake and this is one of my favourite parts of the whole walk as it's fairly gentle and it's always nice to be beside the water. Towards the northern part of the loch you can enjoy a wonderful waterfall and step back in time by stopping off for a drink at the Drovers Inn, an 18th century hotel and restaurant with an atmosphere like no other. Leaving the loch behind the scenery changes as you get closer to the mountains. It's another 28 miles to the next shop so this is one of the most remote parts of the walk with only dramatic scenery, other walkers and wildlife to keep you company. Finally, the welcoming lights of the Kings house hotel come into view and you've reached Glencoe where parts of James Bond's Skyfall was filmed. This remote hotel is another memorable moment of the walk for me, a truly wonderful location facing one of our most photographed and distinctive mountains, Buachaille Etive Mor. The final 2 days are the toughest of the whole walk, There's more climbing to do from here as the walk climbs up to 550m before gradually descending again. During the final day of walking you can see the UK's highest mountain, Ben Nevis before arriving into the centre of the town of Fort William and the finish line. The scenery throughout is spectacular and ever changing as along the way you journey across mountains, past lochs (lakes) through glens, into forests and past waterfalls. It is a truly unforgettable trip but hard work! Along the way there are places to stay, campsites, hostels and hotels. Some parts of the walk are quite busy and you can enjoy the company of other walkers but often you are alone and can enjoy the views and atmosphere in peace. You can either carry your rucksack yourself or make use of a baggage delivery service which will drop off your bags at your next overnight stay. I made good use of this service and it made a big difference not having to carry a heavy pack all day long. However, there are some annoyances, during the summer there can be a big problem with midges! These insects are like mini mosquitoes and during some parts of the walk you have to wear protective netting over your face as there are so many of them all eager to bite you. I've even seen people running to try to escape from them! They don't like windy weather but are especially active at dawn and dusk. A good insect repellent will help to keep them at bay. Getting to the finish felt like such an accomplishment and I can honestly say it's one of the best things I've ever done. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/adventuresinenglish/message
