Kat Booth is back for our second monthly medic catch-up in the Delirious West 2027 series, and this time we're getting into some of the things you might want to think about before heading out for 100 or 200 miles.

And we've got questions from listeners! 🎉

Chelsea has sent through a few good ones, including a question about the little foot care kits Kat made for her and Scott Bunny last year.

Apparently Scott was rather excited about his little toolbox. 😂

So what exactly should your crew have ready when you arrive at an aid station with feet that aren't quite as happy as they were at the start?

We also get into something a little more serious.

Painkillers.

Kat has some strong advice about certain medications during these very long events, and there's a good reason she wants runners and crews to understand the risks.

And Chelsea's question about butt chafing? We're saving that one for another episode. Apparently there's plenty to discuss!

We're collecting questions from runners for our upcoming monthly chats. Whether you're preparing for Delirious or another big ultra, we'd love to hear what you want to ask the medic.

If you're training for Delirious, this is another chat worth listening to!

If the stories in this series are giving you that little itch to be part of it, have a look at the event details and see whether 2027 might be your year.

This practical program helps you quiet the mental noise, drop the pressure, and rediscover running as time for yourself.
