What does it take to be a successful runner of extreme distance and why do people do it?
David Greig is the Artistic Director of the Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh and an internationally successful playwright. He’s also an ultra-marathon runner who has twice completed the punishing 96 mile West Highland Way as well as many other long-distance races. He took up running fifteen years ago when he stopped smoking and running has since become an endorphin-fuelled obsession.
