But now, with the Delirious W.E.S.T. 200 miler getting closer, John has decided it might finally be time for something slightly radical.
A proper roadmap.
In this Delirious West 2027 check-in, we chat about starting again after a few quieter months, finding a rhythm without trying to do everything at once, and John’s developing relationship with strength training.
There’s also some very sensible discussion about motivation, enjoying the process and preparing for a huge ultra.
And then there’s the far more exciting matter of buying new running gear. 😂
🎧 Come and catch up with John as his Delirious journey starts getting properly underway.

💛 Running used to clear your head. Now it’s another thing weighing on it. Let’s change that.
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.”
