  • Summary

  • This week, I talk with Ayrshire local Steve Daye. Steve has recently burst onto the ultra scene, but his 2022 debut ultra was years in the making.


    What we talked about:

    • Steve's background and how he has built his (very speedy) running base up over the years
    • How he thinks about and selects future races
    • How he combines a busy, physical job with training
    • What he has learned from being at the sharp end of races
    • How he is continuing to learn how to translate his excellent running to longer ultra-distance events


    Key Takeaways:


    • Speed is a really useful component to any runner, regardless or the distance that you are planning to run
    • Creating predictability in some of the core events you race, and your training allows for flexibility elsewhere
    • Rest is critical performing your best
