Series 2 Episode 1, with Compressport: 'Find your why' with ultra runner Mike Wardian
Well, that escalated quickly. Series 2 of the Pyllon Ultra Pod has kicked off and we have a couple of big changes to announce.
Our good friends at Compressport will be supporting this series and we will be joined by some of the biggest names in endurance sports.
Episode 1 starts with a bang as the effusive and indefatigable Mike Wardian joins Paul and James to talk about his mindset, his approach to training and racing and just how he keeps his positivity and energy going at seemingly superhuman levels.
We hear Mike talk about some of his novel FKT attempts during lockdown, swinging from Quarantine Backyard Ultra to a 5k racing series almost daily, what drives him day-to-day, and his upcoming plans. Meanwhile, James plants the 24-hour seed whilst Mike talks of his desire to do the West Highland Way race one day.
The range of chat is vast and Mike is a generous guest who is one of the true icons of ultra-running. This is a must listen. You cannot fail to be inspired by hearing from someone who has been steeped in the sport at the sharp end for so long.
It was a pleasure to have him on board to kick off series 2 of the Pyllon Ultra Podcast - supported by Compressport, who design the very best technical performance clothing for runners and multi-sport athletes.
You can connect with Paul on Twitter @Pyllon or instagram @Pyllon. James is on Twitter too, @james_stewart13 and on instagram as plain old @jamesstewart13.
Mike is also on social as @mikewardian and is a fascinating follow!

Excellent episode. Mike comes over as a very decent human, and full of positivity. I think what most impressed me was his ability to understand 2 west of Scotland, male accents - from Croy and Paisley no less - no mean feat.

Great podcast, really easy conversation and great topics, especially helpful during lockdown. Loved this episode with Mike, his positive attitude and the way he approaches races is really fun and refreshing. :)
