Fuelling up for ultras with author of The Happy Diet cookbook Kayleigh Webster

Ahead of her Highland Fling Ultra and looking forward to another Backyard Ultra Challenge, I chat to Kayleigh Webster, author of The Happy Diet cookbook.

We discuss her five-hour daily runs, and how she fuels with “real food”, she’s got a penchant for porridge and poke bowls, and makes recipes that don’t use fancy ingredients like pomegranate molasses!

Running with her Labrador and having the freedom to move around in her campervan, Kayleigh is lucky to be able to explore what beautiful Scotland has in store from an ultrarunnering perspective.

A member of the Green Runners, she’s conscious of her footprint, and has a wealth of information for people like me trying to make food with enough calories to get us round the trails.

Kayleigh published her first cookery book, The Happy Diet, to give people the chance to create affordable and simple meals that still taste amazing, and she puts her plant-based diet down to the reason she’s now the happiest and healthiest she’s ever been.
