It Was Just a Nice Day with Ali Eadie - Young Hearts Run Free Podcast - Season 9 Eps 8

Young Hearts Run Free Podcast

In this episode we catch up with Ali Eadie. Ali describes herself as a 'seasoned listener' to the podcast, and this chat has been a long time coming.

Ali peaked our interest with her involvement at Run Talk Run, a group whose mission is to increase accessibility to mental health support through running & walking. But there is a whole lot more to Ali that this!

Ali tells us what brings her joy from running...and life in general.

Still to complete a road marathon (it's on the list) Ali has found a love of the trails and hills.

Canicross is a love of Ali's and Fin (Ali's dog) and we find out a bit more about what Canicross is. If it's your thing too, let us know.

From running a marathon through lockdown, to taking on the Dava Way 50k, the Cateran Trail, the Devil of The Highlands, and a podium place at an ultra in the Faroe Islands, the last couple of years running has brought Ali great joy and success.

Define success...in Ali's words 'it was just a nice day', all the success you will ever need.

We speak about the Love Trails Festival in Wales, big shout out to this, it sounds like an awesome experience, and it's played a big part in Ali's running story.

It's not just putting on a race number that excites Ali though, we speak about her love of the hills, Edinburgh's Pentlands specifically and having adventures with friends and the EH3Milers run club (a run and a pint, what's not to like!)

It wouldn't be a YHRF episode with chat of food would it? Pot Noodles, Salt n Vinegar Hula Hoops, Dairylea Dunkers (the midge version), Percy Pigs...it's all in here!

If your thing is getting great joy from running, keeping it simple and living life with a smile, this is the episode for you.

Did we mention the funky shorts? Mon in, your gonna love this...
