S5 Eps 7 Young Hearts, Run Free - Lapping it Up with Jo Murphy ACP 2022 Review- 8 April 2022

Gather together….it’s time to be awesome.
You’ve maybe heard us mention once or twice that we were looking forward to the Anglo Celtic Plate. It’s been and gone now, it was every bit as epic as we had predicted, the gathering of awesomeness did not fail to deliver. Both the 50K and 100k events turned it to classics, and we had ringside seats.
In this week’s episode we take a deep dive into how the day panned out, first up that’s through the eyes of John & Steven as they recall some magical moments from the day. Recapping on some spectacular individual and team performances as well as wallowing in the glow of meeting some folks from this amazing community we’re so happily immersed in.
Then we get to speak to the girl of the moment, yes, we are joined by Jo Murphy to unpack her jaw-dropping 100k win in 2022’s Anglo Celtic Plate. On Sunday 3 April she created history, obliterating the 42 lap course record on the North Inch, Perth. On her way to victory she smashed her own 100k PB and was crowned UK 100k champ, Scottish 100k champ and retained the Don Ritchie Trophy, whilst surely cementing her place in Team GB’s 2022 100k World Championship squad.
We love Jo. It’s hard not to. We were very lucky to be able to grab some of her time during her recovery from the performance of her life. We‘re treated to the race build-up and prep, the training, the fuelling and the plan….that’s before we even get to the business of the race itself.
Ever wondered what it’s like to run the perfect 100k race? Then look no further. This was one of the finest executed race performances you are ever likely to see, precision pacing, epic support team along with determination and resolve in absolute spade loads. It was a wonder to watch it unfold and we get the low-down on just how Jo managed her 7 hours 41 minutes 12 seconds out on the laps.
The chaos and energy of the start/finish straight, the kit, the trainers, the race day fuelling secrets and the reliance on her team mates & support crew and of course what were her post race rewards. It’s a brilliant listen, there’s a defintite lump in your throat moment as Jo sums up quite how much the win meant to her, make sure you hang on until the end for that!
This episode will make you smile, greet and feel ALL the feels. Jo lit up the North Inch and now it’s time for her to light up your day.
Enjoy our ACP round up!! We’d like to say the final thank you to Adrian Stott and his team of volunteers who staged a magnificent and fitting gathering of awesomeness in our home city of Perth. Haste ye back.
