Emma Stuart | Winter Downs 200
Get in touch with Ultrarunning Sam here ⬅️
In this episode I speak to returning guest Emma Stuart, AKA The Running Vet!
We talk about her recent win at Centurion Winter Downs 200 and the aftermath of her spectacular performance where she not only led the entire race, but finished with an injury and still took first lady and second overall!
We talk about her recovery, what she's been eating and the surprises she's had since finishing, including an unscheduled visit to the dentist this week. We talk about how she turned a DNF at UTMB into motivation to have a crack at the WD200 course.
We talk about how the race compares to other big ultras and the conditions that she encountered during her recce weekend and the race itself.
We dive into her fuelling and sleep strategies and how she would approach the race if she goes back next year.
