Episode 542 - 2026 Delirious Series - Nikki Frost’s Check In- No Poles, No Plan, Just Grit – Nikki’s First Check-In

In this warm, honest, and slightly chaotic first check-in, we sit down with Delirious WEST 2026 athlete Nikki Frost (yes, Michelle’s daughter!) to hear how her prep is tracking for her first 200-miler.

Nikki might live in the city, train mostly on concrete (and treadmills), and have a full-time travel-heavy job—but that’s not stopping her from diving headfirst into ultra training.

In this episode, you’ll hear: •🏃‍♀️ How Nikki’s non-planning approach helps her avoid overthinking big events •🧗‍♀️ Her spontaneous sign-up for the 46km Rollercoaster Ultra… with only 5 weeks prep (and 1 week sick!) •🌇 Balancing early morning runs, work travel, and two energetic pups •🧠 Why she’s focusing on short-term goals, routine, and rest over “cramming” •🍲 The early stages of exploring race-day nutrition (and maybe even a nutritionist) •🎒 Poles? Trails? Elevation training? Eh… maybe later

This one’s a blend of laughs, love, and a good reminder that not everyone trains the same—and that’s totally okay.

Nikki’s going all-in, her own way. And yep, she’s dragging her sister along as support crew too (trial run, anyone? 😉)

Can’t wait to see where the next month takes her!
