Mel Sykes (our Yorkshire Correspondent) speaks to the Young Hearts Run Free Podcast - Season 8 Eps 3

Ello! it's only our Yorkshire correspondent, Mel Sykes!

She's been in the news a bit lately; she's been front page news to us for much much longer.

Since we last spoke to Mel a fair bit of water has passed under the bridge. Mainly being that her ultra-marathon standing has flourished.

We cover plenty ground, much like Mel does most weekends. We kick off looking back at a memorable day at last year's Lakeland 50 right through to her recent outing the Manchester to Liverpool 50 ultra. A day that turned out to be equally as memorable for a host of reasons.

Mel was caught up in some controversy that day, as result her 4th place finish was subsequently upgraded to 3rd place. If it's a witch hunt you want though you've come to the wrong place. Mel's much too braw a lassie to get hauled into that malarkey. Instead, we speak about the race and subsequent events from Mel's perspective.

We look ahead too at what's coming up, be prepped for a double take on what Mel's planning the next few months. Safe to say she's been well and truly bitten by the ultra-marathon bug.

If you need a reminder of how keeping your approach and mindset simple, not over complicating your training or prep and just enjoying our sport for the feel-good factor of moving then Mel is an essential listen. And it's all done with humbleness and a serene fashion we should all get on board with.

Oh, there's some fruity language in this week's dialect dictionary and there might be an unexpected appearance from a penis cushion. Intrigued? Now come on in and get yir lugs roond this!
