We’ve got something new for the Delirious West 2027 series!

Once a month I’ll be catching up with Delirious race medic Kat Booth for a quick chat about the things that might help keep you moving during the 100 or 200 miler, and hopefully mean you need to visit Kat and the medic team a little less often. 😂

For our first chat, we’re talking feet.

More specifically, should you be pre-taping known hotspots before Delirious?

Kat has some fairly strong opinions on this one.

We get into how you can start figuring out your own problem areas during training, why something that works perfectly well on a normal run might be a very different story after many, many hours on your feet, and why even one tiny grain of sand can cause considerably more trouble than you’d expect.

There’s also some chat about shoes, socks, gaiters, bunions and a certain blister treatment Kat would very much like you to leave at home.

And apparently I’m now having a monthly “quickie with Frosty” with Kat. Her words, not mine. 😂

We want to hear from you! If you’re preparing for Delirious West, or another big ultra, and have questions about looking after yourself from a medic’s perspective, send them through.

Kat will be answering listener questions in our upcoming monthly catch-ups.

If you’re training for Delirious, your feet might want you to listen to this one!

If you’re tired of dragging yourself out the door, feeling guilty when you don’t, or comparing every run to what you used to do, Feel Like a Runner Again is for you.

This practical program helps you quiet the mental noise, drop the pressure, and rediscover running as time for yourself.

Less “I should go for a run.” More “I’ve missed this.”
