Damian Hall speaks to the Young Hearts Run Free Podcast - Season 8 Eps 1

Jump on in, it’s only our season 8 opener. And yip, we’re
still bouncing after last weekend’s Manchester success story!
So, who better than to invite to the party to get our new season off to a flyer
than the fella with the 2nd best mohawk in running, the one and only
Damian Hall.
After our usual intrepid intro Damo joins us and we cover plenty enough to get
yir lugs tingling with glee. From his first foray into running right through to
his most recent adventure at the Barkley Marathons. We get to the bottom of his
running story; you did know he ran his first mara dressed as a toilet, right?
With time spent on discovering ultras and the realisation
that his body was capable of much much more than he first imagined. Damo lets us
in on how he found adventuring ultra-addictive, bimbling along often with pals
soon becoming his preferred leisure pursuit.
Spine Races, the Barkley Marathons take centre stage for our
middle segment before we move on to more important matters like bendy bodies,
favourite trail snacks and of course his wee bromance with the tea dodger John
Kelly.

Lastly, yet most importantly Damo discusses his role within
the Green Runners movement and shares his concern about environmental matters
that he works so hard to raise awareness of and seek action against. It’s something
we can all do a little (or a lot) to help with even if that’s just sharing a
lift to the next race you’re running.

It feels over in a flash, and yet we have so much more to
chat about. They’ll be a part II to this one at some future point, we’re only
getting started with this tea loving, mohawk donning legend.
