In this episode, we catch up with James Sawyer, who shares his creative and ambitious approach to training for the Delirious West 200-miler. From holiday plans that include a “training camp” at Point Perrin to balancing sand running and swim-run adventures, James is embracing variety in his preparation.
James reflects on his recent marathon with a friend returning from injury, the importance of community in ultrarunning, and the lessons learned from creative training challenges like 24-hour parkrun streaks. He also shares his plans for the upcoming swim-run event, where he’ll run and swim with trail shoes on—a quirky yet effective cross-training experience.
Key Highlights:
• Completing a marathon in a backyard-style format to support a friend.
• Holiday training camp with beach runs and sand-specific conditioning.
• Preparing for a swim-run event: 21K of trails interspersed with 5K of open-water swimming.
• Balancing family holiday traditions with a focus on consistent training.
• Reflecting on the positive effects of rest and reducing alcohol consumption on recovery.
