In this episode, I catch up with my daughter and fellow Delirious W.E.S.T. 2026 runner, Nikki Frost, who’s had a very… colourful four to six weeks of training. And by colourful, I mean she left half her stomach contents scattered across the Dandenongs. 🤢😂
But as always, she’s honest, funny, and refreshingly optimistic about the whole adventure.
Get ready for:
•The disastrous Roller Coaster Ultra where Nikki started vomiting at 10km… and didn’t stop until the finish line
•Why sticking with “the gels that once worked” backfired in spectacular fashion
•Her teeth literally hurting after the race (yep, it was that acidic 😬)
•How Coco Pops and a double espresso have now become her pre-run ritual
•The plan to finally dial in her nutrition before taking on 200 miles
•Her next challenge: Mount Buller Sky Run… which she hasn’t researched at all 😅
•Our mother–daughter chat about hill training, Stairmasters, and my backyard-ultra-style hill repeats
•Why Delirious is more of a “moving picnic” than a race
•Plenty of banter — including threats to run away if either of us vomits again
Why You’ll Love This Episode:
•It’s honest, relatable ultra training chaos
•Nikki reminds us that you can be underprepared, overconfident, and still absolutely give something a crack
•We talk real food, real problems, and real solutions
•It’s a great reminder that for Delirious, nutrition isn’t just important — it’s everything
•And… it’s also a mother–daughter comedy show 🥰
Next Big Steps for Nikki:
•Test solid foods (Clif cookies first!)
•Survive the Mount Buller Sky Run
•Keep experimenting with “moving picnic” nutrition
•Build confidence heading into the big April adventure
Can’t wait for her next check-in — hopefully with less vomit and more snacks!
