In this first check-in for Delirious W.E.S.T. 2026, I catch up with Craig Jeffrey — who’s clocking a casual 160 km a week as he gears up for the Kosciuszko 100 Miler 😅. We chat about what it really takes to bounce back from a 200-miler, why “average” is just a setting on your watch, and how being mindful mid-race might actually save your stomach (and your sanity). Craig opens up about lessons from Delirious, how long recovery really takes, and his plan to finally not throw up at the same spot in Kosciuszko this time 🤞. We also dive into race nutrition (baby food, gels, and yogurt!), the art of mid-race mindfulness, and why ultrarunners’ definition of “normal” gets wildly skewed. From heart rate variability to hallucinations, this chat has everything that makes ultrarunning gloriously human.
