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!
